Acts 20:1-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. When the disturbance was over, Paul had the disciples summoned and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and set out on his journey to Macedonia.

2. As he traveled throughout those regions, he provided many words of encouragement for them. Then he arrived in Greece,

3. where he stayed for three months. But when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return by way of Macedonia.

4. Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, from Beroea, accompanied him, as did Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia

5. who went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.

6. We sailed from Philippi after the feast of Unleavened Bread, and rejoined them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.

7. On the first day of the week when we gathered to break bread, Paul spoke to them because he was going to leave on the next day, and he kept on speaking until midnight.

8. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered,

9. and a young man named Eutychus who was sitting on the window sill was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Once overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and when he was picked up, he was dead.

10. Paul went down, threw himself upon him, and said as he embraced him, “Don’t be alarmed; there is life in him.”
