Acts 20:9-20

English Standard Version

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 ^(A)fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul went down and ^(B)bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, ^(C)“Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” ¹¹ And when Paul had gone up and ^(D)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 ^(E)to be at Jerusalem, if possible, ^(F)on the day of Pentecost.

Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders

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

^(H)“You yourselves know ^(I)how I lived among you the whole time ^(J)from the first day that I set foot in Asia, ^19 (K)serving the Lord ^(L)with all humility and with ^(M)tears and with trials that happened to me through ^(N)the plots of the Jews; ²⁰ how I ^(O)did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and ^(P)teaching you in public and from house to house,
