The Acts 20:9-24 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

9. And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.

10. But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding him in his arms, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

11. And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

12. And they brought away the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

13. And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.

14. And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

15. and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:

16. for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17. But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over to him the elders of the assembly.

18. And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

19. serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

20. how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce it to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,

21. testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22. And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

23. only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

24. But I make no account of my life as dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.
