Acts 20:13-16
Christian Standard Bible
From Troas to Miletus
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul on board, because these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went on to Mitylene. 15 Sailing from there, the next day we arrived off Chios. The following day we crossed over to Samos, and[a] the day after, we came to Miletus.(A) 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, for the day of Pentecost.(B)

Troas to Miletus
13 But (A)we went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for that was what he had arranged, intending himself to go [a]by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15 Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day we came to (B)Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past (C)Ephesus so that he would not have to lose time in [b](D)Asia; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him (E)to be in Jerusalem (F)the day of Pentecost.
