Acts 20:6-16
20:6 We
sailed away from Philippi
after the days of Unleavened Bread,
and within five days
we came to the others
in Troas,
where we stayed for seven days.
20:7 On the first day
of the week, when we met
to break bread, Paul began to speak
to the people, and because he intended
to leave the next day, he extended
his message until midnight.
20:8 (Now there were many lamps
in the upstairs room where we were meeting.)
20:9 A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window,
was sinking
into a deep sleep while Paul continued to speak
for a long time. Fast asleep,
he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
20:10 But Paul went down,
threw himself
on the young man,
put his arms around him,
and said, “Do not be distressed, for he is still alive!”
20:11 Then Paul
went back upstairs,
and after he had broken bread and eaten, he talked with them
a long time, until dawn. Then he left.
20:12 They took the boy home alive and were greatly
comforted.
The Voyage to Miletus
20:13 We went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had arranged it this way. He himself was intending to go there by land.
20:14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went to Mitylene.
20:15 We set sail from there, and on the following day we arrived off Chios. The next day we approached Samos, and the day after that we arrived at Miletus.
20:16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
