DAY 21

AC-19:32  Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for

the

assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they

were come together.

AC-19:33  And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews

putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and

would

have made his defence unto the people.

AC-19:34  But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one

voice

about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the

Ephesians.

AC-19:35  And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he

said,

[Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that

the

city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana,

and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?

AC-19:36  Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against,

 ye

ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

AC-19:37  For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither

robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

AC-19:38  Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are

with

him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there

are

deputies: let them implead one another.

AC-19:39  But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters,

it

shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

AC-19:40  For we are in danger to be called in question for this

day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an

account of

this concourse.

AC-19:41  And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

*AC-20:1  And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto [him]

the disciples, and embraced [them], and departed for to go into

Macedonia.

AC-20:2  And when he had gone over those parts, and had given

them

much exhortation, he came into Greece,

AC-20:3  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.

AC-20:4  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.

AC-20:5  These going before tarried for us at Troas.

AC-20:6  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.

AC-20:7  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.

AC-20:8  And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where

they

were gathered together.

AC-20:9  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.

AC-20:10  And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing

[him]

said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

AC-20:11  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.

AC-20:12  And they brought the young man alive, and were not a

little comforted.

AC-20:13  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.

AC-20:14  And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and

came

to Mitylene.

AC-20:15  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.

AC-20:16  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.

AC-20:17  And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the

elders

of the church.

AC-20:18  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,

AC-20:19  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:

AC-20:20  [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto

you], but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from

house to house,

AC-20:21  Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,

repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

AC-20:22  And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto

Jerusalem,

not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

AC-20:23  Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,

saying

that bonds and afflictions abide me.

AC-20:24  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.
