1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia. 4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5 These going before tarried for us at Troas. 6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. 14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
1 骚乱平息以后， 保罗派人把门徒请了来， 劝勉一番， 就辞别起行， 往马其顿去。
2 他走遍那一带地方， 用许多话劝勉众人， 然后来到希腊。
3 他在那里住了三个月， 正要坐船往叙利亚去的时候， 有些犹太人设计要害他， 他就决意路经马其顿回去。
4 与他同行的有比里亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特， 帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都， 特庇人该犹和提摩太， 亚西亚人推基古和特罗非摩。
5 这些人先走， 在特罗亚等候我们。
6 至于我们， 过了除酵节才从腓立比开船， 五天后到特罗亚他们那里， 逗留了七天。
7 礼拜日， 我们聚会擘饼的时候， 保罗对大家讲道， 他因第二天就要起行， 就一直讲到半夜。
8 我们聚会的那座楼上， 有许多灯火。
9 有一个少年人， 名叫犹推古， 坐在窗台上， 因为保罗讲得很长， 他很困倦， 沉沉地睡着了， 就从三楼跌下来； 把他扶起来的时候， 已经死了。
10 保罗走下去， 伏在他身上； 把他抱住， 说： "你们不要惊慌， 他还活着。"
11 随即回到楼上， 擘饼吃了， 又讲了很久， 直到天亮才走。
12 他们把活着的孩子带走， 得到很大的安慰。
13 我们先上船， 开往亚朔， 照着保罗的安排， 要在那边接他， 因为他自己要走陆路去。
14 他在亚朔与我们会合， 我们接他上船， 去到米推利尼。
15 从那里开船， 第二天到了基阿对面， 过了一天就在撒摩靠岸， 再过一天到了米利都。
16 原来保罗决定越过以弗所， 免得在亚西亚耽搁时间， 因为他希望能在五旬节赶到耶路撒冷。
17 他从米利都派人去以弗所， 请教会的长老来。
18 他们到了， 保罗说： "你们知道， 自从我到了亚西亚的第一天， 我一直怎样跟你们相处， 怎样服事主，
19 凡事谦卑， 常常流泪， 忍受犹太人谋害的试炼。
20 你们也知道， 我从来没有留下一件有益的事， 不在众人面前或在家里告诉你们， 教导你们。
21 我对犹太人和希腊人都作过见证， 要他们悔改归向 神， 信靠我们的主耶稣。
22 现在， 我的心灵受到催逼， 要去耶路撒冷， 我不知道在那里会遭遇什么事，
23 只知道在各城里圣灵都向我指明， 说有捆锁和患难在等着我。
24 但我并不珍惜自己的性命， 只求跑完我的路程， 完成我从主耶稣所领受的职分， 为 神恩惠的福音作见证。
25 "我曾在你们那里走遍各地， 宣扬 神的国。现在， 我知道你们众人不会再见我的面了。
26 所以我今天向你们作证， 我是清白的， 与众人的罪（"罪"原文作"血"）无关。
27 因为 神的全部计划， 我已经毫无保留地传给你们了。
28 圣灵既然立你们为全群的监督， 牧养 神用自己的血所赎来的教会， 你们就应当为自己谨慎， 也为全群谨慎。
29 我知道在我离开之后， 必有凶暴的豺狼进入你们中间， 不顾惜羊群。
30 你们自己中间也必有人起来， 讲些歪曲悖谬的话， 引诱门徒跟从他们。
31 所以你们应当警醒， 记念我三年之久， 昼夜不停地带着眼泪劝戒你们各人。
32 现在我把你们交托给 神和他恩惠的道； 这道能建立你们， 也能在所有成圣的人中赐基业给你们。
33 我从来没有贪图任何人的金银或衣服。
34 我这两只手， 供应了我和同伴的需要， 这是你们自己知道的。
35 我凡事以身作则， 你们必须照样辛劳， 扶助软弱的人， 并且记念主耶稣的话： ‘施比受更为有福。’"
36 他说了这些话， 就跪下来同大家一起祷告。
37 众人都痛哭， 伏在保罗的颈上， 与他亲嘴。
38 他们最伤心的， 是保罗说他们不会再见他的面那句话。最后他们送他上了船。
