\subsection{Acts 20}
|
|
\VS{1} Now after the turmoil ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and having
|
|
exhorted [them], having greeted [them], he went out to be going to Macedonia.
|
|
\VS{2} Now
|
|
having come through that region and having exhorted them with many word[s] he
|
|
came to Hellada.
|
|
\VS{3} And having done three months [there], [a] plot having come to
|
|
pass against him by the Jews when [he was] [about] to go up to Syria, [his] intention became to
|
|
return through Macedonia.
|
|
\VS{4} So Sopatros of Pyrros Beraios accompanied
|
|
him, and Apistarches and Sekoundos of the Thessalonikans, and Gaios Debraios
|
|
and Timothy, and the Asians Tuchnikos and Trophimos.
|
|
\VS{5} Now these, having come, remained with us in Troada.
|
|
\VS{6} So we sailed after the days
|
|
of unleavened [bread] from Phillipi, and we came to them in Troada until five days,
|
|
where we stayed [for] seven days.
|
|
\VS{7} Now on the first [day] of the Sabbaths when
|
|
they were gathered to break bread, Paul was speaking to them, being [about] to
|
|
journey on the morrow, and he was extending the word until midnight.
|
|
\VS{8} Now there were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered.
|
|
\VS{9} Now a certain young [man] by name Eutychus, sitting in the window, being
|
|
overwhelmed by [a] deep sleep, while Paul was speaking more, having been
|
|
brought down by sleep, he fell from the third story down and was taken up
|
|
dead.
|
|
\VS{10} So having come down, Paul fell upon him, and embracing [him] said:
|
|
Be not being distressed, for his psyche-life\fnPsyche{} is in him.
|
|
\VS{11} so having gone up
|
|
and having broken bread and having partaken, and having conversed even more
|
|
until dawn, thus he left.
|
|
\VS{12} So they brought [up] the child zoe-living\fnZoe{}, and
|
|
they were comforted not moderately.
|
|
\VS{13} Now we having gone on by boat
|
|
were brought to Assos, there intending to be receiving Paul. For thus had he
|
|
directed, intending himself to be traveling on foot.
|
|
\VS{14} Now as he was
|
|
meeting us in Assos, having received him we went to Mitulene.
|
|
\VS{15} And
|
|
having sailed we arrived on the next [day] opposite Chios, and on the next we
|
|
approached to Samos, and on the next we came to Miletos.
|
|
\VS{16} For Paul
|
|
had decided to sail past Ephesus, in order that it not come to pass to him
|
|
to lose time in Asia. For he was hurrying --- if it might be possible to him --- to come to be in Jerusalem [on] the day of Pentecost.
|
|
|
|
\VS{17} So from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of
|
|
the assembly\fnEkklhsia{}.
|
|
\VS{18} Now as they were arriving to him, he said to them: You
|
|
know, from [the] first day from which I set foot in Asia, how I came to be with
|
|
you the whole time,
|
|
\VS{19} slaving to the Lord with all humblemindedness
|
|
and tears and tests of those [things] having happened to me in the plots of the
|
|
Jews,
|
|
\VS{20} as I kept silent nothing being of profit [to you], having proclaimed
|
|
to you and having taught you publicly and [house] by house,
|
|
\VS{21} witnessing to
|
|
both Jews and Greeks the repentance to God and belief in our Lord Jesus.
|
|
\VS{22} And now behold I being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem, the
|
|
[things] happening to me not knowing,
|
|
\VS{23} except that the Holy Spirit [city] by city
|
|
testifies to me saying that bonds and distresses await me.
|
|
\VS{24} But of no
|
|
account do I make [my] psyche-life\fnPsyche{} of great value to myself as I
|
|
complete my course and the (life of) service that I received from the Lord Jesus, to
|
|
be testifying the good-news of the grace of God.
|
|
\VS{25} And now behold I
|
|
know that you will no longer see my face, you all among whom I came through
|
|
proclaiming the kingdom.
|
|
\VS{26} Therefore I testify to you in this day that
|
|
I am clean from [the] blood of all.
|
|
\VS{27} For I was not silent, having
|
|
proclaimed all the intention of God to you.
|
|
\VS{28} Be paying attention to
|
|
yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has placed you
|
|
overseers, to be shepherding the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of [the] Lord\footnote{``[the] lord" \papyrus{74}
|
|
D; ``God" \sinaiticus{}B; ``[the] lord and God" \koine }, which he acquired through his own
|
|
blood.
|
|
\VS{29} I know that there will come after my departure savage wolves
|
|
among you not sparing the flock.
|
|
\VS{30} And from among you yourselves there
|
|
will arise men speaking distortions, to be drawing away the disciples after
|
|
them.
|
|
\VS{31} Therefore be being alert, remembering that [for] three years night
|
|
and day I did not cease to be admonishing each one with tears.
|
|
\VS{32} And
|
|
now I commit you to the Lord, and to the word of his grace being able to
|
|
build and to give the inheritance in all those being made holy.
|
|
\VS{33}
|
|
Silver or gold or garments I did not desire.
|
|
\VS{34} You yourselves know
|
|
that these hands served to my needs and to those being with me.
|
|
\VS{35} I
|
|
showed everything to you, that having labored thusly is it necessary to be
|
|
helping the feeble, and to be remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, that
|
|
he said: It is blessed to be giving rather than to be receiving.
|
|
\VS{36} And having said these [things], having knelt with them all, they prayed.
|
|
\VS{37} Now
|
|
much weeping came to pass on all, and having fallen upon Paul's neck they
|
|
were kissing him,
|
|
\VS{38} suffering the most pain upon the word which he
|
|
spoke, that they were [about] to be no longer seeing his face. So they accompanied
|
|
him to the boat.
