A Psalm of ^(A)the Sons of Korah. A Song.

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You

⁴ Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, ^(A)Aristarchus and Secundus; and ^(B)Gaius of Derbe, and ^(C)Timothy; and the Asians, ^(D)Tychicus and ^(E)Trophimus. ⁵ These went on ahead and were waiting for ^(F)us at ^(G)Troas, ⁶ but we sailed away from Philippi after ^(H)the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

Eutychus Raised from the Dead

^7 (I)On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together ^(J)to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. ⁸ There were many lamps in ^(K)the upper room where we were gathered. ⁹ And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he ^(L)fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul went down and ^(M)bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, ^(N)“Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” ¹¹ And when Paul had gone up and ^(O)had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. ¹² And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

¹³ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. ¹⁴ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. ¹⁵ And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and^[a] the day after that we went to Miletus. ¹⁶ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening ^(P)to be at Jerusalem, if possible, ^(Q)on the day of Pentecost.

Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders

¹⁷ Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called ^(R)the elders of the church to come to him. ¹⁸ And when they came to him, he said to them:

^(S)“You yourselves know ^(T)how I lived among you the whole time ^(U)from the first day that I set foot in Asia, ^19 (V)serving the Lord ^(W)with all humility and with ^(X)tears and with trials that happened to me through ^(Y)the plots of the Jews; ²⁰ how I ^(Z)did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and ^(AA)teaching you in public and from house to house, ^21 (AB)testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of ^(AC)repentance toward God and of ^(AD)faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.^{[b] 22} And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained ^(AE)by^[c] the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, ²³ except that ^(AF)the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that ^(AG)imprisonment and ^(AH)afflictions await me. ²⁴ But ^(AI)I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only ^(AJ)I may finish my course and ^(AK)the ministry ^(AL)that I received from the Lord Jesus, ^(AM)to testify to ^(AN)the gospel of ^(AO)the grace of God. ²⁵ And now, behold, ^(AP)I know that none of you among whom I have gone about ^(AQ)proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. ²⁶ Therefore ^(AR)I testify to you this day that ^(AS)I am innocent of the blood of all, ²⁷ for ^(AT)I did not shrink from declaring to you ^(AU)the whole counsel of God. ^28 (AV)Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all ^(AW)the flock, in which ^(AX)the Holy Spirit has made you ^(AY)overseers, ^(AZ)to care for ^(BA)the church of God,^[d] which he ^(BB)obtained ^(BC)with his own blood.^{[e] 29} I ^(BD)know that after my departure ^(BE)fierce wolves will come in among you, ^(BF)not sparing the flock; ³⁰ and ^(BG)from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore ^(BH)be alert, remembering that ^(BI)for three years I did not cease night or day ^(BJ)to admonish every one ^(BK)with tears. ³² And now ^(BL)I commend you to God and to ^(BM)the word of his grace, which is able to ^(BN)build you up and to give you ^(BO)the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. ^33 (BP)I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. ^34 (BQ)You yourselves know that ^(BR)these hands ministered to my necessities and ^(BS)to those who were with me. ³⁵ In all things ^(BT)I have shown you that ^(BU)by working hard in this way we must ^(BV)help the weak and ^(BW)remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^(BX)to give than to receive.’”

³⁶ And when he had said these things, ^(BY)he knelt down and prayed with them all. ³⁷ And ^(BZ)there was much weeping on the part of all; ^(CA)they embraced Paul and ^(CB)kissed him, ³⁸ being sorrowful most of all because of ^(CC)the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And ^(CD)they accompanied him to the ship.
