Acts 20:11-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.

12. Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.

13. Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.

14. And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.

15. And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.

16. For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17. Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.

18. And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: "You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:

19. serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,

20. how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,

21. testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22. And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

23. except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.
