Paul in Macedonia and Greece
1 After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and
1departed for Macedonia.
2
When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.
3
There he spent three months, and when
2a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.
4
Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians,
3Aristarchus and Secundus; and
4Gaius of Derbe, and
5Timothy; and the Asians,
6Tychicus and
7Trophimus.
5
These went on ahead and were waiting for
8us at
9Troas,
6
but we sailed away from Philippi after
10the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Eutychus Raised from the Dead
7 11On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together
12to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.
8
There were many lamps in
13the upper room where we were gathered.
9
And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he
14fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
10
But Paul went down and
15bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said,
16"Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."
11
And when Paul had gone up and
17had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.
12
And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.
13
But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14
And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
15
And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus.
16
For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening
18to be at Jerusalem, if possible,
19on the day of Pentecost.
