Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders

13 But (A)we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, 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 And sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to (B)Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past (C)Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in [b](D)Asia; for he was hurrying (E)to be in Jerusalem, if possible, (F)on the day of Pentecost.

And on the next day we approached Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not be having to spend time in Asia.[d] For he was hurrying if it could be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
