New Testament in a Year

Through Macedonia and Greece

20 Now after the uproar had ceased, Paul having summoned and exhorted ^(A)the disciples, said farewell and left ^(B)to go to ^(C)Macedonia. ² And when he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece. ³ And there he spent three months, and when ^(D)a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for ^(E)Syria, he decided to return through ^(F)Macedonia. ⁴ And he was accompanied by Sopater of ^(G)Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by ^(H)Aristarchus and Secundus of the ^(I)Thessalonians, and ^(J)Gaius of ^(K)Derbe, and ^(L)Timothy, and ^(M)Tychicus and ^(N)Trophimus of ^[a](O)Asia. ⁵ But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for ^(P)us at ^(Q)Troas. ^6 (R)And we sailed from ^(S)Philippi after ^(T)the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at ^(U)Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.

Eutychus Raised from the Dead in Troas

⁷ And on ^(V)the first day of the week, when ^(W)we were gathered together to ^(X)break bread, Paul began speaking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his ^[b]message until midnight. ⁸ Now there were many ^(Y)lamps in the ^(Z)upper room where we were gathered together. ⁹ And there was a young man named ^[c]Eutychus sitting on the windowsill, sinking into a deep sleep. And as Paul kept on talking, he sunk into that sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul went down and ^(AA)fell upon him, and after embracing him, he ^(AB)said, “^[d]Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.” ¹¹ And when he had gone back up and had ^(AC)broken the bread and ^[e]eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. ¹² And they took away the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.

Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders

¹³ But ^(AD)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 ^[f]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 ^(AE)Miletus. ¹⁶ For Paul had decided to sail past ^(AF)Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in ^[g](AG)Asia; for he was hurrying ^(AH)to be in Jerusalem, if possible, ^(AI)on the day of Pentecost.
