Acts 20:3-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. where he spent three months. When he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Makedonia, as a plot was made against him by the Yehuḏim.

4. And he was accompanied by Sopater of Beroia, and Aristarchos and Sekundos of the Thessalonians, and Gaios of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tuchikos and Trophimos of Asia.

5. And these, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

6. And we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

7. And on the first day of the week,the taught ones having gathered together to break bread, Sha’ul, intending to depart the next day, was reasoning with them and was extending the word till midnight.

8. And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

9. And a certain young man, by name Eutuchos, was sitting in a window, being overpowered by a deep sleep. As Sha’ul kept on reasoning, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third storey, and was picked up dead.

10. And Sha’ul, having gone down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not be upset, for his life is in him.”

11. Then going up again, and having broken bread and eaten, he talked a long while, even till daybreak, and so went forth.

12. And they brought the young man in alive, and were encouraged, not a little.

13. And we, going ahead to the ship, sailed to Assos, intending to take Sha’ul on board there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot.

14. And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitulene.

15. And from there we sailed, and the next day came opposite Chios. And the next day we arrived at Samos and remained at Trogullion. And the following day we came to Miletos.

16. For Sha’ul had decided to sail past Ephesos, so that he might lose no time in Asia, for he was hurrying to be at Yerushalayim, if possible, on the Day of the Festival of Weeks.

17. And from Miletos he sent to Ephesos and called for the elders of the assembly.

18. And when they had come to him, he said to them, “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, how I was with you all the time,

19. serving the Master with all humility, with many tears and trials which befell me by the plotting of the Yehuḏim,

20. as I kept back no matter that was profitable, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,

21. witnessing to Yehuḏim, and also to Greeks: repentance toward Elohim and belief in our Master יהושע Messiah.

22. “And now see, I go bound in the spirit to Yerushalayim, not knowing what is going to meet me there,

23. except that the Set-apart Spirit witnesses in every city, saying that chains and pressures await me.
