¹When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that after^G5613 we^G2248 were gotten^G645^(G5685) from^G575 them^G846, and had launched^G321^(G5683), we came^G2064^(G5627) with a straight course^G2113^(G5660) unto^G1519 Coos^G2972, and^G1161 the day following^G1836 unto^G1519 Rhodes^G4499, and from thence^G2547 unto^G1519 Patara^G3959:

² Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

KJVAnd^G2532 finding^G2147^(G5631) a ship^G4143 sailing over^G1276^(G5723) unto^G1519 Phenicia^G5403, we went aboard^G1910^(G5631), and set forth^G321^(G5681).

³ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.

KJVNow^G1161 when we had discovered^G398^(G5631) Cyprus^G2954,^G2532 we left^G2641^(G5631) it^G846 on the left hand^G2176, and sailed^G4126^(G5707) into^G1519 Syria^G4947, and^G2532 landed^G2609^(G5648) at^G1519 Tyre^G5184: for^G1063 there^G1566 the ship^G4143 was^G2258^(G5713) to unlade^G670^(G5740) her burden^G1117.

⁴ Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G2532 finding^G429^(G5631) disciples^G3101, we tarried^G1961^(G5656) there^G847 seven^G2033 days^G2250: who^G3748 said^G3004^(G5707) to Paul^G3972 through^G1223 the Spirit^G4151, that he should^G305 not^G3361 go up^G305^(G5721) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

⁵ When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 we^G2248 had^G1096^(G5633) accomplished^G1822^(G5658) those days^G2250, we departed^G1831^(G5631) and went our way^G4198^(G5711); and they all^G3956 brought^G4311 us^G2248 on our way^G4311^(G5723), with^G4862 wives^G1135 and^G2532 children^G5043, till^G2193 we were out of^G1854 the city^G4172: and^G2532 we kneeled down^G5087^(G5631)^G1119 on^G1909 the shore^G123, and prayed^G4336^(G5662).

⁶ After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

KJVAnd^G2532 when we had taken our leave^G782^(G5666) one of another^G240, we took^G1910^(G5627)^G1519 ship^G4143; and^G1161 they^G1565 returned^G5290^G1519 home^G2398 again^G5290^(G5656).

⁷ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.

KJVAnd^G1161 when we^G2249 had finished^G1274^(G5660) our course^G4144 from^G575 Tyre^G5184, we came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Ptolemais^G4424, and^G2532 saluted^G782^(G5666) the brethren^G80, and abode^G3306^(G5656) with^G3844 them^G846 one^G3391 day^G2250.

⁸ On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

KJVAnd^G1161 the next^G1887 day we that were of^G4012 Paul's^G3972 company^G4012 departed^G1831^(G5631), and came^G2064^(G5627)^(G5625)^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 Caesarea^G2542: and^G2532 we entered^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the house^G3624 of Philip^G5376 the evangelist^G2099, which was^G5607^(G5752) one of^G1537 the seven^G2033; and abode^G3306^(G5656) with^G3844 him^G846.

⁹ Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

KJVAnd^G1161 the same man^G5129 had^G2258^(G5713) four^G5064 daughters^G2364, virgins^G3933, which did prophesy^G4395^(G5723).

¹⁰ As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

KJVAnd^G1161 as we^G2257 tarried^G1961^(G5723) there many^G4119 days^G2250, there came down^G2718^(G5627) from^G575 Judaea^G2449 a certain^G5100 prophet^G4396, named^G3686 Agabus^G13.

¹¹ Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he was come^G2064^(G5631) unto^G4314 us^G2248,^G2532 he took^G142^(G5660) Paul's^G3972 girdle^G2223, and^G5037 bound^G1210^(G5660) his own^G846 hands^G5495 and^G2532 feet^G4228, and said^G2036^(G5627), Thus^G3592 saith^G3004^(G5719) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, So^G3779 shall^G1210 the Jews^G2453 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419 bind^G1210^(G5692) the man^G435 that^G3739 owneth^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778 girdle^G2223, and^G2532 shall deliver^G3860^(G5692) him into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of the Gentiles^G1484.

¹² When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 we heard^G191^(G5656) these things^G5023, both^G5037 we^G2249, and^G2532 they of that place^G1786, besought^G3870^(G5707) him^G846 not^G3361 to go up^G305^(G5721) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

¹³ Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

KJVThen^G1161 Paul^G3972 answered^G611^(G5662), What^G5101 mean ye^G4160^(G5719) to weep^G2799^(G5723) and^G2532 to break^G4919^(G5723) mine^G3450 heart^G2588? for^G1063 I^G1473 am^G2192^(G5719) ready^G2093 not^G3756 to be bound^G1210^(G5683) only^G3440, but^G2532 also^G235 to die^G599^(G5629) at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419 for^G5228 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁴ When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 would^G3982 not^G3361 be persuaded^G3982^(G5746), we ceased^G2270^(G5656), saying^G2036^(G5631), The will^G2307 of the Lord^G2962 be done^G1096^(G5634).

¹⁵ After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 those^G5025 days^G2250 we took up our carriages^G643^(G5666), and went up^G305^(G5707) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

¹⁶ Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

KJV^G1161 There went^G4905^(G5627) with^G4862 us^G2254 also^G2532 certain of the disciples^G3101 of^G575 Caesarea^G2542, and brought^G71^(G5723) with them^G3844 one^G5100 Mnason^G3416 of Cyprus^G2953, an old^G744 disciple^G3101, with whom^G3739 we should lodge^G3579^(G5686).

¹⁷ When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

KJVAnd^G1161 when we^G2257 were come^G1096^(G5637) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, the brethren^G80 received^G1209^(G5662) us^G2248 gladly^G780.

¹⁸ The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

KJVAnd^G1161 the day following^G1966^(G5752) Paul^G3972 went in^G1524^(G5715) with^G4862 us^G2254 unto^G4314 James^G2385; and^G5037 all^G3956 the elders^G4245 were present^G3854^(G5633).

¹⁹ When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had saluted^G782^(G5666) them^G846, he declared^G1834^(G5711) particularly^G2596^G1520^G1538 what things^G3739 God^G2316 had wrought^G4160^(G5656) among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484 by^G1223 his^G846 ministry^G1248.

²⁰ They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) it, they glorified^G1392^(G5707) the Lord^G2962, and^G5037 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou seest^G2334^(G5719), brother^G80, how many^G4214 thousands^G3461 of Jews^G2453 there are^G1526^(G5748) which^G3588 believe^G4100^(G5761); and^G2532 they are^G5225^(G5719) all^G3956 zealous^G2207 of the law^G3551:

²¹ They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.

KJVAnd^G1161 they are informed^G2727^(G5681) of^G4012 thee^G4675, that^G3754 thou teachest^G1321^(G5719) all^G3956 the Jews^G2453 which are among^G2596 the Gentiles^G1484 to^G575 forsake^G646 Moses^G3475, saying^G3004^(G5723) that they^G846 ought^G4059 not^G3361 to circumcise^G4059^(G5721) their children^G5043, neither^G3366 to walk^G4043^(G5721) after the customs^G1485.

²² What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

KJVWhat^G5101 is it^G2076^(G5748) therefore^G3767? the multitude^G4128 must^G1163^(G5748) needs^G3843 come together^G4905^(G5629): for^G1063 they will hear^G191^(G5695) that^G3754 thou art come^G2064^(G5754).

²³ Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.

KJVDo^G4160^(G5657) therefore^G3767 this^G5124 that^G3739 we say^G3004^(G5719) to thee^G4671: We^G2254 have^G1526^(G5748) four^G5064 men^G435 which have^G2171^(G5723) a vow^G2192 on^G1909 them^G1438;

²⁴ Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

KJVThem^G5128 take^G3880^(G5631), and purify thyself^G48^(G5682) with^G4862 them^G846, and^G2532 be at charges^G1159^(G5657) with^G1909 them^G846, that^G2443 they may shave^G3587^(G5667) their heads^G2776: and^G2532 all^G3956 may know^G1097^(G5632) that those things^G3754, whereof^G3739 they were informed^G2727^(G5769) concerning^G4012 thee^G4675, are^G2076^(G5748) nothing^G3762; but^G235 that thou thyself^G846 also^G2532 walkest orderly^G4748^(G5719), and keepest^G5442^(G5723) the law^G3551.

²⁵ But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

KJVAs^G1161 touching^G4012 the Gentiles^G1484 which believe^G4100^(G5761), we^G2249 have written^G1989^(G5656) and concluded^G2919^(G5660) that they^G846 observe^G5083^(G5721) no^G3367 such thing^G5108, save only^G1508 that they keep^G5442^(G5733) themselves^G846 from^G5037 things offered to idols^G1494, and^G2532 from blood^G129, and^G2532 from strangled^G4156, and^G2532 from fornication^G4202.

²⁶ Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

KJVThen^G5119 Paul^G3972 took^G3880^(G5631) the men^G435, and the next^G2192^(G5746) day^G2250 purifying himself^G48^(G5685) with^G4862 them^G846 entered^G1524^(G5715) into^G1519 the temple^G2411, to signify^G1229^(G5723) the accomplishment^G1604 of the days^G2250 of purification^G49, until^G2193 that^G3739 an offering^G4376 should be offered^G4374^(G5681) for^G5228 every^G1538 one^G1520 of them^G846.

²⁷ When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 the seven^G2033 days^G2250 were almost^G3195^(G5707) ended^G4931^(G5745), the Jews^G2453 which were of^G575 Asia^G773, when they saw^G2300^(G5666) him^G846 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, stirred up^G4797^(G5707) all^G3956 the people^G3793, and^G2532 laid^G1911^(G5627) hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846,

²⁸ crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”

KJVCrying out^G2896^(G5723), Men^G435 of Israel^G2475, help^G997^(G5720): This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the man^G444, that teacheth^G1321^(G5723) all^G3956 men every where^G3837 against^G2596 the people^G2992, and^G2532 the law^G3551, and^G2532 this^G5126 place^G5117: and^G5037 further^G2089 brought^G1521^(G5627) Greeks^G1672 also^G2532 into^G1519 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 hath polluted^G2840^(G5758) this^G5127 holy^G40 place^G5117.

²⁹ For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

KJV(For^G1063 they had^G2258^(G5713) seen before^G4308^(G5761) with^G4862 him^G846 in^G1722 the city^G4172 Trophimus^G5161 an Ephesian^G2180, whom^G3739 they supposed^G3543^(G5707) that^G3754 Paul^G3972 had brought^G1521^(G5627) into^G1519 the temple^G2411.)

³⁰ All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

KJVAnd^G5037 all^G3650 the city^G4172 was moved^G2795^(G5681), and^G2532 the people^G2992 ran together^G1096^(G5633)^G4890: and^G2532 they took^G1949^(G5637) Paul^G3972, and drew^G1670^(G5707) him^G846 out of^G1854 the temple^G2411: and^G2532 forthwith^G2112 the doors^G2374 were shut^G2808^(G5681).

³¹ As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

KJVAnd^G1161 as they went about^G2212^(G5723) to kill^G615^(G5658) him^G846, tidings^G5334 came^G305^(G5627) unto the chief captain^G5506 of the band^G4686, that^G3754 all^G3650 Jerusalem^G2419 was in an uproar^G4797^(G5769).

³² Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

KJVWho^G3739 immediately^G1824 took^G3880^(G5631) soldiers^G4757 and^G2532 centurions^G1543, and ran down^G2701^(G5627) unto^G1909 them^G846: and^G1161 when they saw^G1492^(G5631) the chief captain^G5506 and^G2532 the soldiers^G4757, they left^G3973^(G5668) beating^G5180^(G5723) of Paul^G3972.

³³ Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

KJVThen^G5119 the chief captain^G5506 came near^G1448^(G5660), and took^G1949^(G5633) him^G846, and^G2532 commanded^G2753^(G5656) him to be bound with^G1210^(G5683) two^G1417 chains^G254; and^G2532 demanded^G4441^(G5711) who^G5101 he was^G302^G1498^(G5751), and^G2532 what^G5101 he had^G2076^(G5748) done^G4160^(G5761).

³⁴ Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G243 cried^G994^(G5707) one thing^G5100, some another^G243, among^G1722 the multitude^G3793: and^G1161 when he could^G1410^(G5740) not^G3361 know^G1097^(G5629) the certainty^G804 for^G1223 the tumult^G2351, he commanded^G2753^(G5656) him^G846 to be carried^G71^(G5745) into^G1519 the castle^G3925.

³⁵ When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 he came^G1096^(G5633) upon^G1909 the stairs^G304, so it was^G4819^(G5627), that he was borne^G941^(G5745) of^G5259 the soldiers^G4757 for^G1223 the violence^G970 of the people^G3793.

³⁶ for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

KJVFor^G1063 the multitude^G4128 of the people^G2992 followed after^G190^(G5707), crying^G2896^(G5723), Away^G142^(G5720) with him^G846.

³⁷ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

KJVAnd^G5037 as Paul^G3972 was to be^G3195^(G5723) led^G1521^(G5745) into^G1519 the castle^G3925, he said^G3004^(G5719) unto the chief captain^G5506, May^G1487^G1832^(G5748) I^G3427 speak^G2036^(G5629)^G5100 unto^G4314 thee^G4571?^G1161 Who^G3588 said^G5346^(G5713), Canst thou speak^G1097^(G5719) Greek^G1676?

³⁸ Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

KJVArt^G1488^(G5748) not^G3756 thou^G4771^G686 that Egyptian^G124, which before^G4253 these^G5130 days^G2250 madest an uproar^G387^(G5660), and^G2532 leddest out^G1806^(G5631) into^G1519 the wilderness^G2048 four thousand^G5070 men^G435 that were murderers^G4607?

³⁹ But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

KJVBut^G1161 Paul^G3972 said^G2036^(G5627), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748)^G3303 a man^G444 which am a Jew^G2453 of Tarsus^G5018, a city in Cilicia^G2791, a citizen^G4177 of no^G3756 mean^G767 city^G4172: and^G1161, I beseech^G1189^(G5736) thee^G4675, suffer^G2010^(G5657) me^G3427 to speak^G2980^(G5658) unto^G4314 the people^G2992.

⁴⁰ When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

KJVAnd^G1161 when he had given^G2010 him^G846 licence^G2010^(G5660), Paul^G3972 stood^G2476^(G5761) on^G1909 the stairs^G304, and beckoned^G2678^(G5656) with the hand^G5495 unto the people^G2992. And^G1161 when there was made^G1096^(G5637) a great^G4183 silence^G4602, he spake^G4377^(G5656) unto them in the Hebrew^G1446 tongue^G1258, saying^G3004^(G5723),

³ When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

KJVAnd^G5037 there abode^G4160^(G5660) three^G5140 months^G3376.

KJVThese^G3778 going before^G4281^(G5631) tarried^G3306^(G5707) for us^G2248 at^G1722 Troas^G5174.

⁹ A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

KJVAnd^G1161 there sat^G2521^(G5740) in^G1909 a window^G2376 a certain^G5100 young man^G3494 named^G3686 Eutychus^G2161, being fallen^G2702^(G5746) into a deep^G901 sleep^G5258: and as Paul^G3972 was long^G1909^G4119 preaching^G1256^(G5740), he sunk down^G2702^(G5685) with^G575 sleep^G5258, and fell down^G2736^G4098^(G5627) from^G575 the third loft^G5152, and^G2532 was taken up^G142^(G5681) dead^G3498.

¹⁰ Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 went down^G2597^(G5631), and fell on^G1968^(G5627) him^G846, and^G2532 embracing^G4843^(G5631) him said^G2036^(G5627), Trouble^G2350 not^G3361 yourselves^G2350^(G5744); for^G1063 his^G846 life^G5590 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 him^G846.

¹¹ When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

KJVWhen^G1161 he^G305 therefore was come up again^G305^(G5631), and^G2532 had broken^G2806^(G5660) bread^G740, and^G2532 eaten^G1089^(G5666), and^G5037 talked^G3656^(G5660)^G1909 a long while^G2425, even till^G891 break of day^G827, so^G3779 he departed^G1831^(G5627).

KJVAnd^G1161 we^G2249 went before^G4281^(G5631) to^G1909 ship^G4143, and sailed^G321^(G5681) unto^G1519 Assos^G789, there^G1564 intending^G3195^(G5723) to take in^G353^(G5721) Paul^G3972: for^G1063 so^G3779 had he^G2258^(G5713) appointed^G1299^(G5772), minding^G3195^(G5723) himself^G846 to go afoot^G3978^(G5721).

¹⁴ When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 he met^G4820^(G5627) with us^G2254 at^G1519 Assos^G789, we took^G353 him^G846 in^G353^(G5631), and came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Mitylene^G3412.

¹⁵ Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

KJVAnd^G2547 we sailed^G636^(G5660) thence^G2547, and came^G2658^(G5656) the next^G1966^(G5752) day over against^G481 Chios^G5508; and^G1161 the next^G2087 day we arrived^G3846^(G5627) at^G1519 Samos^G4544, and^G2532 tarried^G3306^(G5660) at^G1722 Trogyllium^G5175; and the next^G2192^(G5746) day we came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Miletus^G3399.

¹⁶ For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

KJVFor^G1063 Paul^G3972 had determined^G2919^(G5656) to sail by^G3896^(G5658) Ephesus^G2181, because^G3704 he^G846 would^G1096^(G5638) not^G3361 spend the time^G5551^(G5658) in^G1722 Asia^G773: for^G1063 he hasted^G4692^(G5707), if^G1487 it were^G2258^(G5713) possible^G1415 for him^G846, to be^G1096^(G5635) at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 the day^G2250 of Pentecost^G4005.

KJVAnd^G1161 from^G575 Miletus^G3399 he sent^G3992^(G5660) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181, and called^G3333^(G5668) the elders^G4245 of the church^G1577.

¹⁸ When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 they were come^G3854^(G5633) to^G4314 him^G846, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 know^G1987^(G5736), from^G575 the first^G4413 day^G2250 that^G575^G3739 I came^G1910^(G5627) into^G1519 Asia^G773, after what manner^G4459 I have been^G1096^(G5633) with^G3326 you^G5216 at all^G3956 seasons^G5550,

¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

KJVServing^G1398^(G5723) the Lord^G2962 with^G3326 all^G3956 humility of mind^G5012, and^G2532 with many^G4183 tears^G1144, and^G2532 temptations^G3986, which^G3588 befell^G4819^(G5631) me^G3427 by^G1722 the lying in wait^G1917 of the Jews^G2453:

²⁰ how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

KJVAnd how^G5613 I kept back^G5288^(G5668) nothing^G3762 that was profitable^G4851^(G5723) unto you, but^G3361 have shewed^G312^(G5658) you^G5213, and^G2532 have taught^G1321^(G5658) you^G5209 publickly^G1219, and^G2532 from^G2596 house to house^G3624,

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

KJVTestifying^G1263^(G5740) both^G5037 to the Jews^G2453, and also^G2532 to the Greeks^G1672, repentance^G3341 toward^G1519 God^G2316, and^G2532 faith^G4102 toward^G1519 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

²² Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568, behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 go^G4198^(G5736) bound^G1210^(G5772) in the spirit^G4151 unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, not^G3361 knowing^G1492^(G5761) the things that shall befall^G4876^(G5694) me^G3427 there^G1722^G846:

²³ except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

KJVSave^G4133 that^G3754 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 witnesseth^G1263^(G5736) in every^G2596 city^G4172, saying^G3004^(G5723) that^G3754 bonds^G1199 and^G2532 afflictions^G2347 abide^G3306^(G5719) me^G3165.

²⁴ But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

KJVBut^G235 none^G3762 of these things^G3056 move me^G4160^(G5731), neither^G3761 count I^G2192^(G5719) my^G3450 life^G5590 dear^G5093 unto myself^G1683, so^G5613 that I might finish^G5048^(G5658) my^G3450 course^G1408 with^G3326 joy^G5479, and^G2532 the ministry^G1248, which^G3739 I have received^G2983^(G5627) of^G3844 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, to testify^G1263^(G5664) the gospel^G2098 of the grace^G5485 of God^G2316.

²⁵ “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568, behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye^G5210 all^G3956, among^G1722 whom^G3739 I have gone^G1330^(G5627) preaching^G2784^(G5723) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, shall see^G3700^(G5695) my^G3450 face^G4383 no more^G3765.

²⁶ Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

KJVWherefore^G1352 I take^G3143 you^G5213 to record^G3143^(G5736) this^G1722^G4594 day^G2250, that^G3754 I^G1473 am pure^G2513 from^G575 the blood^G129 of all^G3956 men.

²⁷ for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

KJVFor^G1063 I have^G5288 not^G3756^G3361 shunned^G5288^(G5668) to declare^G312^(G5658) unto you^G5213 all^G3956 the counsel^G1012 of God^G2316.

²⁸ Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

KJVTake heed^G4337^(G5720) therefore^G3767 unto yourselves^G1438, and^G2532 to all^G3956 the flock^G4168, over^G1722 the which^G3739 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 hath made^G5087^(G5639) you^G5209 overseers^G1985, to feed^G4165^(G5721) the church^G1577 of God^G2316, which^G3739 he hath purchased^G4046^(G5668) with^G1223 his own^G2398 blood^G129.

²⁹ For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

KJVFor^G1063 I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) this^G5124, that^G3754 after^G3326 my^G3450 departing^G867 shall grievous^G926 wolves^G3074 enter in^G1525^(G5695) among^G1519 you^G5209, not^G3361 sparing^G5339^(G5740) the flock^G4168.

³⁰ Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

KJVAlso^G2532 of^G1537 your^G5216 own selves^G846 shall^G450 men^G435 arise^G450^(G5698), speaking^G2980^(G5723) perverse things^G1294^(G5772), to draw away^G645^(G5721) disciples^G3101 after^G3694 them^G846.

³¹ Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

KJVTherefore^G1352 watch^G1127^(G5720), and remember^G3421^(G5723), that^G3754 by the space of three years^G5148 I ceased^G3973^(G5668) not^G3756 to warn^G3560^(G5723) every^G1538 one^G1520 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250 with^G3326 tears^G1144.

³² Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3569, brethren^G80, I commend^G3908^(G5731) you^G5209 to God^G2316, and^G2532 to the word^G3056 of his^G846 grace^G5485, which^G3588 is able^G1410^(G5740) to build you up^G2026^(G5658), and^G2532 to give^G1325^(G5629) you^G5213 an inheritance^G2817 among^G1722 all^G3956 them which are sanctified^G37^(G5772).

³³ I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

KJVI have coveted^G1937^(G5656) no man's^G3762 silver^G694, or^G2228 gold^G5553, or^G2228 apparel^G2441.

³⁴ You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

KJVYea^G1161, ye yourselves^G846 know^G1097^(G5719), that^G3754 these^G3778 hands^G5495 have ministered^G5256^(G5656) unto my^G3450 necessities^G5532, and^G2532 to them that were^G5607^(G5752) with^G3326 me^G1700.

³⁵ In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

KJVI have shewed^G5263^(G5656) you^G5213 all things^G3956, how that^G3754 so^G3779 labouring^G2872^(G5723) ye ought^G1163^(G5748) to support^G482^(G5738) the weak^G770^(G5723), and^G5037 to remember^G3421^(G5721) the words^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, how^G3754 he^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), It is^G2076^(G5748) more^G3123 blessed^G3107 to give^G1325^(G5721) than^G2228 to receive^G2983^(G5721).

³⁶ When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he^G846 kneeled^G1119 down^G5087^(G5631), and prayed^G4336^(G5662) with^G4862 them^G846 all^G3956.

³⁷ They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

KJVAnd^G1161 they all^G3956 wept^G2805^G1096^(G5633) sore^G2425, and^G2532 fell^G1968^(G5631) on^G1909 Paul's^G3972 neck^G5137, and kissed^G2705^(G5707) him^G846,

³⁸ sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

KJVSorrowing^G3600^(G5746) most of all^G3122 for^G1909 the words^G3056 which^G3739 he spake^G2046^(G5715), that^G3754 they should^G3195^(G5719) see^G2334^(G5721) his^G846 face^G4383 no more^G3765. And^G1161 they accompanied^G4311^(G5707) him^G846 unto^G1519 the ship^G4143.
