Acts 20:1-10

Paul in Macedonia and Greece

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for 1the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he left 2to go to 3Macedonia.
2 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 4a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for 5Syria, he decided * to return through 6Macedonia.
4 And he was accompanied by Sopater of 7Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by 8Aristarchus and Secundus of the 9Thessalonians, and 10Gaius of 11Derbe, and 12Timothy, and 13Tychicus and 14Trophimus of 15Asia.
5 But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for 16us at 17Troas.
6 18We sailed from 19Philippi after 20the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at 21Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.
7 On 22the first day of the week, when 23we were gathered together to 24break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
8 There were many 25lamps in the 26upper room where we were gathered together.
9 And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.
10 But Paul went down and 27fell upon him, and after embracing him, he 28said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."
