After The Uproar, Paul Departs For Jerusalem Through Macedonia And Greece
20 And after the uproar ceased, Paul— having sent for the disciples and having encouraged them, having said-farewell— went forth to proceed[a] to Macedonia. 2 And having gone[b] through those regions, and having encouraged them with much speaking, he came to Greece[c]. 3 And having done three[d] months there, a plot having been made against him by the Jews while he was about to put-to-sea for Syria— he became of a mind that he should be returning through Macedonia[e]. 4 And Sopater, son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, was accompanying him; and Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; and Gaius, a Derbean; and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asians. 5 But these[f], having gone ahead, were awaiting us[g] in Troas. 6 And we sailed-off from Philippi after the days of the Feast of Unleavened-Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days, where we spent seven days.
While Paul Is Speaking In Troas, Eutychus Falls To His Death, And Is Raised
7 And on the first day of the week, we having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was speaking to them, being about to go away on the next day. And he was extending the message until midnight. 8 And there were many lamps in the upper-room where we had been gathered-together. 9 And a certain young-man, Eutychus by name, sitting on the window [sill], was being carried-away by a deep sleep while Paul was speaking further. Having been carried-away by the sleep, he fell down from the third floor, and was picked-up dead. 10 But having gone down, Paul fell upon him, and having embraced him, said, “Do not be thrown-into-a-commotion, for his life is in him!” 11 And Paul [h] having gone up, and having broken the bread and eaten and having conversed for a considerable time, until daybreak— in this manner he departed. 12 And they brought the boy [along][i] alive. And they were not moderately comforted.
In His Hurry To Reach Jerusalem By Pentecost, Paul Sails By Ephesus To Miletus
13 And we, having gone ahead to the ship, put-to-sea for Assos, intending from there to pick-up Paul. For thus having arranged it, he was intending to go-on-foot[j]. 14 And as he was meeting us in Assos, having picked him up, we came to Mitylene. 15 And having sailed-away from there on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And on another day we crossed-over to Samos. And on the next day, we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had determined to sail-by Ephesus so that it might not happen to him that he lose-time in Asia. For he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem— if it might be possible for him— the day of Pentecost.
In Simon’s Home That Night, Many Are Healed
38 And having arisen from the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon. Now the mother-in-law of Simon was being gripped[a] with a high fever. And they asked Him concerning her. 39 And having stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her. And having stood up at-once, she was serving them. 40 And while the sun was setting[b], all who were having ones being sick with various diseases brought them to Him. And the One, laying His hands on each one of them, was curing them. 41 And demons also were coming out from many, shouting, and saying that “You are the Son of God!” And rebuking them, He was not allowing them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ.
Jesus Proceeds On To Announce The Kingdom of God To Other Cities
42 And having become day, having gone out, He went to a desolate[c] place. And the crowds were seeking-for Him. And they came to Him and were holding[d] Him back that He might not proceed from them. 43 And the One said to them that “I must also announce the kingdom of God as good news to the other cities, because I was sent-forth for this purpose”.
