New Testament in a Year

Paul Travels Through Macedonia and Greece

20 Now after the turmoil had ceased, Paul summoned^[a] the disciples, and after^[b] encouraging them,^[c] he said farewell and^[d] departed to travel to Macedonia. ² And after he^[e] had gone through those regions and encouraged them at length,^[f] he came to Greece ³ and stayed^[g] three months. Because^[h] a plot was made against him by the Jews as he^[i] was about to set sail for Syria, he came to a decision to return through Macedonia. ⁴ And Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, and Gaius from Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia, were accompanying him. ⁵ And these had gone on ahead and^[j] were waiting for us in Troas. ⁶ And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.

Eutychus Falls from a Window

⁷ And on the first day of the week, when^[k] we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing^[l] with them, because he^[m] was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his^[n] message until midnight. ⁸ Now there were quite a few lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered. ⁹ And a certain young man named^[o] Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while^[p] Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul went down and^[q] threw himself on him, and putting his arms around him,^[r] said, “Do not be distressed, for his life is in him.” ¹¹ So he went up and broke bread,^[s] and when he^[t] had eaten and talked for a long time, until dawn, then he departed. ¹² And they led the youth away alive, and were greatly^[u] comforted.

The Voyage to Miletus

¹³ But we went on ahead to the ship and^[v] 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^[w] went to Mitylene. ¹⁵ And we sailed from there on the next day, and^[x] 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.^[y] For he was hurrying if it could be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
