Acts 20:12

And they brought the young man alive
Up into the upper room, and presented him alive to the disciples:

and were not a little comforted;

13 In the meantime, the rest of us had gone on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we planned to pick up Paul. Paul wanted to walk there, and so had made these arrangements earlier.

14 Things went according to plan: We met him in Assos, took him on board, and sailed to Mitylene.
