Having spent three months there, when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he resolved to go back through Macedonia.

And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window. He was borne down with deep sleep as Paul kept on talking still longer, and completely overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.

10 A nd Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced, said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'

But Paul went down and bent over him and embraced him, saying, Make no ado; his life is within him.

13 A nd we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

But going on ahead to the ship, the rest of us set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for that was what he had directed, intending himself to go by land.

However, from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the church.

18 a nd when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye -- ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

And when they arrived he said to them: You yourselves are well acquainted with my manner of living among you from the first day that I set foot in Asia, and how I continued afterward,

19 s erving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against;

Serving the Lord with all humility in tears and in the midst of adversity (affliction and trials) which befell me, due to the plots of the Jews;

20 h ow nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

How I did not shrink from telling you anything that was for your benefit and teaching you in public meetings and from house to house,

21 t estifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

But constantly and earnestly I bore testimony both to Jews and Greeks, urging them to turn in repentance '> that is due] to God and to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ '> that is due Him].

22 ` And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

And now, you see, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the Spirit and obligated and compelled by the spirit, not knowing what will befall me there—

23 s ave that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

Except that the Holy Spirit clearly and emphatically affirms to me in city after city that imprisonment and suffering await me.

24 b ut I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest to the good news (Gospel) of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy).

25 ` And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

And now, observe, I perceive that all of you, among whom I have gone in and out proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face no more.

26 w herefore I take you to witness this day, that I clear from the blood of all,

Therefore I testify and protest to you on this day that I am clean and innocent and not responsible for the blood of any of you.

27 f or I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

For I never shrank or kept back or fell short from declaring to you the whole purpose and plan and counsel of God.

28 ` Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you bishops and guardians, to shepherd (tend and feed and guide) the church of the Lord or of God which He obtained for Himself with His own blood.

29 f or I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,

I know that after I am gone, ferocious wolves will get in among you, not sparing the flock;

30 a nd of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

Even from among your own selves men will come to the front who, by saying perverse (distorted and corrupt) things, will endeavor to draw away the disciples after them.

31 ` Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

Therefore be always alert and on your guard, being mindful that for three years I never stopped night or day seriously to admonish and advise and exhort you one by one with tears.

32 a nd now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

And now, I commit you to God. And I commend you to the Word of His grace. It is able to build you up and to give you inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul).

33 ` The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;

I coveted no man’s silver or gold or garments.

34 a nd ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;

You yourselves know personally that these hands ministered to my own needs and those who were with me.

35 a ll things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

In everything I have pointed out to you that, by working diligently in this manner, we ought to assist the weak, being mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, It is more blessed (makes one happier and more to be envied) to give than to receive.

36 A nd these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,

Having spoken thus, he knelt down with them all and prayed.

37 a nd there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

And they all wept freely and threw their arms around Paul’s neck and kissed him fervently and repeatedly,

38 s orrowing most of all for the word that he had said -- that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.

Being especially distressed and sorrowful because he had stated that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
