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.

The Voyage to Miletus
13 But we went on ahead to the ship and[a] put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For having made arrangements in this way, he himself was intending to travel by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and[b] went to Mitylene. 15 And we sailed from there on the next day, and[c] arrived opposite Chios. 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.
