Acts 20:13-16

New International Reader's Version

Paul Says Goodbye to the Ephesian Elders

¹³ We went on ahead to the ship. We sailed for Assos. There we were going to take Paul on board. He had planned it this way because he wanted to go to Assos by land. ¹⁴ So he met us there. We took him on board and went on to Mitylene. ¹⁵ The next day we sailed from there. We arrived near Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos. We arrived at Miletus the next day. ¹⁶ Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus. He didn’t want to spend time in Asia Minor. He was in a hurry to get to Jerusalem. If he could, he wanted to be there by the day of Pentecost.
