let them sue one another.

But if ye would do otherwise, it may be done in a proper church.

For we are in danger of being accused for this present outrage, and yet there is no cause to excuse us for this outrage. And when he had said these things, he sent the congregation away.
(Acts)
Chapter 20
Paul’s journey to Troas and Miletus, and what he did there.

When the uproar was ceased, Paul called the disciples unto him, and blessed them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

And when he had passed through these countries, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece, and tarried there three months.

And when the Jews pursued him, as he was going into Syria, he was advised to turn again by the way of Macedonia.

And there went with him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of Thessalonica Aristarchus, and Secondus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and out of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.

These went on before, and harried us at Troas.

And we sailed from Philippi after the days of the passover unto the fifth day, and came unto them to Troas, and had our being there seven days.

Now on a sabbath day, when the disciples were come together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, and would have departed the next day, delaying the word until midnight.

And there were many torches in the upper chamber, when they were gathered together.

And there sat a certain young man named Eutychus in a window, and fell into a deep sleep, because Paul spake so long: and he was overcome with sleep, and fell down from the third storey, and was taken up dead.

And Paul went down, and fell upon him, and compassed him about, saying, Make no tumult: for his soul is in him.

And he went up, and brake bread, and did eat, and talked much with them, until the day dawned: and so he departed.

And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.

And we went forward in the ship, and sailed to Assos, and there would take Paul with us: for he had so commanded, and would go on foot.

And when he smote us at Assos, we took him, and came to Mitylene.

And from thence we sailed, and came the next day to Chios; and the next day we came to Samos, and stayed at Trogyllion; and the next day we came to Miletus.

For Paul had determined to pass by Ephesus, that he should not spend time in Asia: for he hasted to be at Jerusalem for the day of Pentecost, if it were possible for him.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, calling for the elders of the church.

And when they were come to him, he said unto them. Ye have known since the first day that I came into Asia, how that I have always been with you.

And served the LORD with all humility, and with many tears and temptations, which happened unto me of the Jews that followed me;

As I have not behaved any thing that is profitable, except I have preached unto you, and have taught you publicly and specially.

And have testified both to the Jews and to the Greeks of repentance toward God, and of faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, behold, I, being bound in the spirit, go unto Jerusalem, not knowing what shall
befall me there,

Without the Holy Ghost testifying in every city, saying, Trouble and anguish wait for me there.

But I regard none: neither do I count my life dear unto myself, that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the LORD JEsu, to testify of the gospel of the grace of GOD.

And now, behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, all they through whom I passed, preaching the kingdom of God.

Therefore I testify unto you this day, that I am clean from all blood; 27. For I have not behaved unto you, that I have not declared all the counsel of God.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and unto all the flock, among whom the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased by his own blood.

For this I know, that after my departure there shall come among you grievous wolves, which shall not spare the flock.

Even from among yourselves shall arise men speaking perverse doctrines, to draw the disciples unto themselves.

Wherefore be ye valiant, and remember that I have not ceased three years to warn every man with tears day and night.

And now, brethren, I commend you to GOD, and to the word of his grace, which is mighty to establish you, and to give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

I have not desired your silver, nor your gold, nor your raiment.

For ye yourselves know that these hands have ministered unto me for my need, and for them that were with me.

I have shewed you all things, that it is necessary to work, and to receive the weak, and to remember the word of JESUS the LORD, which he spake: It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And when he had said these things, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.

And there was much weeping among them all, and they fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38. Most grieved at the word which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And escorted him into the ship.
(Acts)
Chapter 21
Paul’s journey from Miletus to Jerusalem, and what he did and endured there.

And it came to pass, when we were turned from them, that we came running straightway to Kos, and the next day to Rhodus, and thence to Patara.

And when we found a ship going to Phoenicia, we got into it, and went.

And when we saw Cyprus, we left her on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and arrived at Tyre: for there the ship was to lay up the merchandise.

And when we had found disciples, we abode there seven days. And they told Paul by the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when we had spent the days, that we went out and walked. And they escorted us all, with wives and children, unto the uttermost part of the city, and kneeled down by the riverside, and prayed.

And when we had blessed one another, we entered into the ship: but they turned again to their own.

And we took ship from Tyre, and came to Ptolemais, and greeted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

And the next day we that were about Paul departed, and came to Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven, and abode with him.

The same had four daughters, which were virgins, and prophesied.

And it came to pass, as we tarried more days, that a prophet came down from Judaea, named Agabus, and came unto us.

And he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his hands and his feet, and said, These things saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle is this shall the Jews bind at Jerusalem, and deliver into the hands of the Gentiles.

And when we heard these things, we besought him, and they that were of the same place, that he would not go up to Jerusalem.

And Paul answered, Why do ye weep, and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

But when he would not be persuaded, we held our peace, and said: The will of the LORD be done.

And after those days we removed, and went up to Jerusalem.

And there came with us also certain disciples from Caesarea, and brought us unto one named Mnason, of Cyprus, which was an old disciple, with whom we lodged.

And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

And the next day Paul went in with us unto James, and the elders all came thither.

And when he had greeted them, he told them one by one what God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.

And when they heard it, they praised the LORD, and said unto him, Brother, thou seest how many thousands of the Jews there are which have believed, and are all zealous for the law.

And they were reported against thee, because thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to fall away from Moses, and sayest that they should not circumcise their children, neither walk after the same manner.

What is it then? The multitude must come together: for it shall come to pass before them, that thou art come.

Do therefore what we say unto thee:

We have four men, which have a vow upon them: take the same unto thee, and be cleansed with them, and bear the charge upon them, that they may give their head, and that they all may know that it is not what they have reported against thee, but that thou also wentest, and hadst the law.

For unto the Gentile believers we have written, and ordained that they should keep none of these things, but that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed unto idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.

Then Paul took the men, and was cleansed the next day with them, and went into the temple, and was seen how he endured the days of cleansing, until the sacrifice was offered for every one of them.

And when the seven days should be fulfilled, the Jews which were of Asia saw him in the temple, and
