1 postquam autem cessavit tumultus
vocatis Paulus discipulis
et exhortatus eos valedixit
et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam
2 cum autem perambulasset partes illas
et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone
venit ad Graeciam
3 ubi cum fecisset menses tres
factae sunt illi insidiae a Iudaeis navigaturo in Syriam
habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam
4 comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrri Beroensis
Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus et Secundus
et Gaius Derbeus et Timotheus
Asiani vero Tychicus et Trophimus
5 hii cum praecessissent sustinebant nos
Troade
6 nos vero navigavimus post dies azymorum a Philippis
et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque
ubi demorati sumus diebus septem
7 in una autem sabbati
cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem
Paulus disputabat eis profecturus in crastinum
protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem
8 erant autem lampades copiosae in cenaculo ubi eramus congregati
9 sedens autem quidam adulescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram
cum mergeretur somno gravi disputante diu Paulo
eductus somno cecidit de tertio cenaculo
deorsum
et sublatus est mortuus
10 ad quem cum descendisset Paulus
incubuit super eum et conplexus dixit
nolite turbari anima enim ipsius in eo est
11 ascendens autem frangensque panem et gustans
satisque adlocutus usque in lucem sic profectus est
12 adduxerunt autem puerum viventem et consolati sunt non minime
13 nos autem ascendentes navem
enavigavimus in Asson inde suscepturi Paulum
sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus
14 cum autem convenisset nos in Asson
adsumpto eo venimus Mytilenen
15 et inde navigantes sequenti die venimus contra Chium
et alia adplicuimus Samum
et sequenti venimus Miletum
16 proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum
ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia
festinabat enim si possibile sibi esset
ut diem pentecosten faceret Hierosolymis
17 a Mileto autem mittens Ephesum vocavit maiores natu ecclesiae
18 qui cum venissent ad eum et simul essent dixit eis
vos scitis a prima die qua ingressus sum in Asiam
qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim
19 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate et lacrimis
et temptationibus quae mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Iudaeorum
20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium
quo minus adnuntiarem vobis et docerem vos publice et per domos
21 testificans Iudaeis atque gentilibus in Deum paenitentiam
et fidem in Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum
22 et nunc ecce alligatus ego Spiritu vado in Hierusalem
quae in ea eventura sint mihi
ignorans
23 nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates protestatur mihi dicens
quoniam vincula et tribulationes me manent
24 sed nihil horum vereor
nec facio animam pretiosiorem quam me
dummodo consummem cursum meum
et ministerium quod accepi a Domino Iesu
testificari evangelium gratiae Dei
25 et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam
vos omnes per quos transivi praedicans regnum Dei
26 quapropter contestor vos hodierna die
quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium
27 non enim subterfugi
quo minus adnuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis
28 adtendite vobis et universo gregi
in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos
regere ecclesiam Dei quam adquisivit sanguine suo
29 ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi graves in vos
non parcentes gregi
30 et ex vobis ipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa
ut abducant discipulos post se
31 propter quod vigilate memoria retinentes
quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi
cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum
32 et nunc commendo vos Deo et verbo gratiae ipsius
qui potens est aedificare
et dare hereditatem in sanctificatis omnibus
33 argentum aut aurum aut vestem nullius concupivi
34 ipsi scitis
quoniam ad ea quae mihi opus erant et his qui mecum sunt
ministraverunt manus istae
35 omnia ostendi vobis
quoniam sic laborantes oportet suscipere infirmos
ac meminisse verbi Domini Iesu quoniam ipse dixit
beatius est magis dare quam accipere
36 et cum haec dixisset
positis genibus suis cum omnibus illis oravit
37 magnus autem fletus factus est omnium
et procumbentes super collum Pauli osculabantur eum
38 dolentes
maxime in verbo quo dixerat
quoniam amplius faciem eius non essent visuri
et deducebant eum ad navem
1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them , and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia. 4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5 These going before tarried for us at Troas. 6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When 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. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 ¶ And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. 14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 ¶ And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you , but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But 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 Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men . 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 ¶ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, 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. 33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
