Acts 20
20
1And after the uproar was ceased, Sha’ul [desired] called unto [him] the disciples, and embraced [them], and departed for to go into Macedonia [extended land].
2And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much Exhortation (encouragement; counsel), he came into Greece,
3And [there] abode three months. And when the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Aram [exalted] (Syria [etymology is uncertain]) [exalted], he purposed to return through Macedonia [extended land].
4And there accompanied him into Asia [orient] Sopater [saviour of his father] of Berea [well watered]; and of the Thessalonians [victory of falsity], Aristarchus [the best ruler] and Secundus [fortunate]; and Gaius [lord] of Derbe [tanner of skin], and Timothy [honoring God]; and of Asia [orient], Tychicus [fateful] and Trophimus [nutritious].
5These going before tarried for us at Troas (Trojan) [penetrated].
6And we sailed away from Philippi [lover of horses] after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas (Trojan) [penetrated] in five days; where we abode seven days.
7And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Sha’ul [desired] preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus [fortunate], being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Sha’ul [desired] was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10And Sha’ul [desired] went down, and fell on him, and embracing [him] said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos [approaching], there intending to take in Sha’ul [desired]: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14And when he met with us at Assos [approaching], we took him in, and came to Mitylene [mutilated].
15And we sailed there, and came the next [day] over against Chios [snowy]; and the next [day] we arrived at Samos [a sandy bluff], and tarried at Trogyllium [a cache]; and the next [day] we came to Miletus [pure white fine wool].
16For Sha’ul [desired] had determined to sail by Ephesus [permitted], because he would not spend the time in Asia [orient]: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] the day of Pentecost.
17And from Miletus [pure white fine wool] he sent to Ephesus [permitted], and called the elders of the church.
18And when they were come to him, he said unto them, You2f know, from the first day that I came into Asia [orient], after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19Serving the Lord - Kurios with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]:
20 [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto you], but have showed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21Testifying both to the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], and also to the Greeks [unstable: miry ones], repentance toward God-The Father, and faith toward our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].
22And now, behold, I go bound in the Spirit [Ruach] unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23Save that the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation], to testify the Gospel (joyful message) of the grace of God-The Father.
25And now, behold, I know that you2f all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God-The Father, shall see my face no more.
26For what reason I take you to record this day, that I [am] pure from the blood of all [men].
27For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God-The Father.
28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] has made you overseers, to feed the church of Lord and God-The Father, which he has purchased with his own blood.
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32And now, brethren, I commend you to God-The Father, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34Yes, you2f yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you2f ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation], how he said, It is more Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) to give than to receive.
36And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37And they all wept sore, and fell on Sha’ul [desired]’s neck, and kissed him,
38Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
