保罗再访马其顿和希腊
1这场风波平息后，保罗召集众门徒勉励一番后，便辞别他们去了马其顿。 2他走遍那一带，用许多劝勉的话鼓励当地的门徒。之后，他又去希腊， 3在那里逗留了三个月。当保罗正要乘船去叙利亚时，听闻犹太人计划要害他，就决定经马其顿回去。 4同他到亚细亚去的人有庇哩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，还有特庇人该犹、提摩太、亚细亚人推基古和特罗非摩。 5他们先到特罗亚等候我们。 6除酵节过后，我们从腓立比启航，五天后在特罗亚和他们会合，大家同住了七天。
犹推古死而复活
7七日的第一日20:7 照犹太人的算法，太阳下山后为一日的开始，基督徒又以礼拜天为一周之始，所以七日的第一日很有可能是礼拜六晚上。，我们聚会掰饼，保罗因为次日要离开，就向他们讲道，直到深夜。 8我们聚会的楼上整夜灯火通明。 9有个名叫犹推古的青年坐在窗台上听道。保罗讲了许久，犹推古不胜困倦睡着了，竟从三楼掉了下去。别人将他抱起来时，他已经死了。 10保罗下去伏在他身上，抱着他对众人说：“不要惊慌，他还活着！” 11保罗说完就回到楼上，与大家一同掰饼、用餐，又谈了很久，直到天亮才离去。 12大家非常欣慰地把活过来的犹推古送回了家。
保罗告别以弗所的众长老
13我们照保罗的吩咐先乘船到亚朔预备在那里接他，他打算由陆路步行到那里。 14他到了亚朔，我们接他上船，一同前往米推利尼。 15我们从米推利尼启航，第二天到了基阿附近，第三天到达撒摩，第四天在米利都停泊。 16保罗急于赶回耶路撒冷，希望在五旬节前赶到，所以决定不去以弗所，免得在亚细亚境内耽误太久。
17保罗从米利都派人到以弗所请教会的长老前来与他相会。 18他们都来了，保罗说：“各位，自从我踏进亚细亚那天起，在你们当中为人如何，你们都很清楚。 19我含着眼泪谦卑地事奉主，又遭到犹太人的迫害，历尽艰辛。 20你们也知道，凡是对你们有益的事，我没有避而不宣，我总是在公开场合和各人家中教导你们。 21我劝犹太人和希腊人都要悔改，归向上帝，信靠主耶稣基督。 22现在，我在圣灵的催促下去耶路撒冷，不知道在那里会发生什么事， 23只知道圣灵在各城镇指示我，前面必有监禁和苦难等着我。 24不过，只要能跑完我当跑的路程，完成主耶稣交托给我的使命——为上帝充满恩典的福音做见证，就是牺牲性命，我也在所不惜。
25“我一向在你们中间传扬上帝的国，如今我知道，以后你们再也见不到我的面了。 26所以今天我向你们声明，将来你们有谁灭亡，与我无关。 27因为上帝的整个计划，我没有向你们避而不宣。 28你们要为自己，也要为教会的群羊警醒，因为圣灵已经任命你们做群羊的监督，牧养上帝的教会。教会是主用自己的血赎回来的。 29我知道，在我离开以后，一定会有凶恶的豺狼闯进你们中间，残害羊群。 30就是你们中间也会有人起来歪曲真理，引诱门徒跟随他们。 31所以你们一定要警醒，牢记这三年来我怎样昼夜不住地流着泪劝诫你们。
32“现在，我把你们交托给上帝和祂充满恩典的道，这道能造就你们，使你们与一切圣洁的人同得产业。 33我从未贪图别人的金银和衣服， 34你们都知道，我亲手做工养活自己和同工。 35我凡事以身作则，教导你们勤奋工作，帮助软弱的人，并牢记主耶稣的话，‘施比受更有福。’”
36保罗说完这番话，就和大家一同跪下祷告。 37众人都哭了，抱着保罗与他亲吻， 38最使他们伤心的就是他说“你们再也见不到我的面了”。最后，众人送他上了船。
1And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3And 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. 4And 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. 5These going before tarried for us at Troas. 6And 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. 7And 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. 8And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9And 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. 10And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11When 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. 12And 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. 14And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 15And 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. 16For 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. 18And 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, 19Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24But 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. 25And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27For 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. 29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32And 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. 33I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35I 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. 37And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
