20 When the uproar had subsided, Paul sent for the disciples, and after he had encouraged them and said farewell, he began his journey to Mac·e·doʹni·a. 2 After going through those regions and giving many words of encouragement to the ones there, he arrived in Greece. 3 He spent three months there, but because a plot was hatched against him by the Jews+ when he was about to set sail for Syria, he made up his mind to return through Mac·e·doʹni·a. 4 He was accompanied by Sopʹa·ter the son of Pyrʹrhus of Be·roeʹa, Ar·is·tarʹchus+ and Se·cunʹdus of the Thes·sa·loʹni·ans, Gaʹius of Derʹbe, Timothy+ and, from the province of Asia, Tychʹi·cus+ and Trophʹi·mus.+ 5 These men went on ahead and were waiting for us in Troʹas; 6 but we put out to sea from Phi·lipʹpi after the days of the Unleavened Bread,+ and within five days we came to them in Troʹas, and there we spent seven days. 7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to have a meal, Paul began addressing them, as he was going to depart the next day; and he prolonged his speech until midnight. 8 So there were quite a few lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together. 9 Seated at the window, a young man named Euʹty·chus sank into a deep sleep while Paul kept talking, and overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. 10 But Paul went downstairs, threw himself on him and embraced him,+ and said: “Stop making a commotion, for he is alive.”*+ 11 He then went upstairs and began the meal* and ate. He continued conversing for quite a while, until daybreak, and then he departed. 12 So they took the boy away alive and were comforted beyond measure. 13 We now went ahead to the ship and set sail for Asʹsos, where we were intending to take Paul aboard, for after giving instructions to this effect, he was intending to go there on foot. 14 So when he caught up with us in Asʹsos, we took him aboard and went to Mit·y·leʹne. 15 And sailing away from there the next day, we arrived off Chiʹos, but the day after that, we touched at Saʹmos, and on the following day, we arrived at Mi·leʹtus. 16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephʹe·sus+ so as not to spend any time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to get to Jerusalem+ on the day of the Festival of Pentecost if he possibly could. 17 However, from Mi·leʹtus he sent word to Ephʹe·sus and called for the elders of the congregation. 18 When they came to him, he said to them: “You well know how I conducted myself among you from the first day I stepped into the province of Asia,+ 19 slaving for the Lord with all humility*+ and with tears and trials that befell me by the plots of the Jews, 20 while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable* nor from teaching you publicly+ and from house to house.+ 21 But I thoroughly bore witness both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance+ toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.+ 22 And now look! bound in* the spirit, I am traveling to Jerusalem, although not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that from city to city the holy spirit repeatedly bears witness to me, saying that imprisonment and tribulations are waiting for me.+ 24 Nevertheless, I do not consider my own life* of any importance to me,* if only I may finish my course+ and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear thorough witness to the good news of the undeserved kindness of God. 25 “And now look! I know that none of you among whom I preached the Kingdom will ever see my face again. 26 So I call you to witness this very day that I am clean from the blood of all men,+ 27 for I have not held back from telling you all the counsel* of God.+ 28 Pay attention to yourselves+ and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed you overseers,+ to shepherd the congregation of God,+ which he purchased with the blood of his own Son.+ 29 I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you+ and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30 and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.+ 31 “Therefore keep awake, and bear in mind that for three years,+ night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one of you with tears. 32 And now I entrust you to God and to the word of his undeserved kindness, which word can build you up and give you the inheritance among all the sanctified ones.+ 33 I have desired no man’s silver or gold or clothing.+ 34 You yourselves know that these hands have provided for my own needs+ and the needs of those with me. 35 I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way,+ you must assist those who are weak and must keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said: ‘There is more happiness in giving+ than there is in receiving.’” 36 And when he had said these things, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. 37 Indeed, quite a bit of weeping broke out among them all, and they embraced Paul* and affectionately* kissed him, 38 for they were especially pained at the word he had spoken that they would not see his face anymore.+ Then they accompanied him to the ship.

Kad se metež stišao, Pavao je poslao po učenike. Ohrabrio ih je i pozdravio se s njima,+ a potom je krenuo na put u Makedoniju.+2 Prošavši te krajeve i hrabreći braću mnogim riječima,+ došao je u Grčku.3 Ondje je proveo tri mjeseca, a zatim je htio otploviti u Siriju. No kako su Židovi skovali zavjeru+ protiv njega, odlučio se vratiti preko Makedonije.4 Pratili su ga Pirov sin Sopater+ iz Bereje, Solunjani Aristarh+ i Sekund, Gaj iz Derbe, Timotej+ te Tihik+ i Trofim+ iz pokrajine Azije.5 Oni su otišli prije nas i čekali nas u Troadi,+6 a mi smo isplovili iz Filipa kad su prošli dani beskvasnih kruhova+ i za pet dana došli smo k njima u Troadu.+ Ondje smo proveli sedam dana.7 A prvog dana+ u tjednu, kad smo se skupili na obrok, Pavao je počeo držati govor okupljenima, jer je sutradan namjeravao otići, i produžio je govor sve do ponoći.8 Stoga je u gornjoj sobi+ gdje smo se skupili bilo mnogo svjetiljki.9 A neki mladić po imenu Eutih sjedio je na prozoru. Kako je Pavao dugo govorio, on je utonuo u dubok san. Svladan snom, pao je s drugog kata. Kad su ga dignuli, bio je mrtav.10 A Pavao je sišao, nadvio se nad njega,+ zagrlio ga i rekao: “Ne vičite, jer je živ!”*+11 Zatim je otišao gore te razlomio kruh i počeo jesti. I još je dugo razgovarao s njima, sve do zore, a potom je otputovao.12 A dječaka su odveli živog, neizmjerno utješeni.13 A mi smo pošli na brod i otplovili u Asos, gdje smo trebali uzeti Pavla na brod. Naime, on je bio tako odredio jer je namjeravao poći pješice.14 Kad smo se našli s njim u Asosu, uzeli smo ga na brod i otišli u Mitilenu.15 Sutradan smo otplovili odande i stigli nadomak Hiosa, narednog dana nakratko smo pristali u Samosu, a idućeg dana stigli smo u Milet.16 Pavao je naime odlučio mimoići Efez+ da se ne bi zadržao u Aziji, jer se žurio da, ako mu bude moguće, dođe u Jeruzalem+ do dana Pedesetnice.17 A iz Mileta je poslao poruku skupštinskim starješinama+ u Efezu da dođu k njemu.18 Kad su stigli, rekao im je: “Vi znate kako sam se sve vrijeme, od prvog dana kad sam stupio u Aziju,+ ponašao među vama.+19 Robovao+ sam Gospodinu sa svom poniznošću,+ u suzama i kušnjama koje su me zadesile zbog zavjera+ židovskih.20 I ništa korisno nisam propustio reći vam i poučavati vas+ javno i idući od kuće do kuće.+21 Nego sam temeljito svjedočio+ i Židovima i Grcima o pokajanju+ pred Bogom i o vjeri u našeg Gospodina Isusa.22 A sad me, evo, duh potiče da idem u Jeruzalem,+ iako ne znam što će mi se u njemu dogoditi,23 osim što mi u svakom gradu sveti duh+ svjedoči da me čekaju okovi i nevolje.+24 Ali ni najmanje ne marim za svoj život,*+ samo želim dovršiti svoju trku+ i službu+ koju sam primio od Gospodina Isusa:+ temeljito svjedočiti za dobru vijest o Božjoj nezasluženoj dobroti.+25 I sad, evo, znam da svi vi među kojima sam propovijedao kraljevstvo nećete više vidjeti lice moje.26 Stoga vas pozivam da na današnji dan posvjedočite da sam čist od krvi+ sviju,27 jer nisam propustio u potpunosti objaviti vam naum Božji.+28 Pazite+ na sebe+ i na sve stado+ u kojem vas je sveti duh postavio nadglednicima,+ da pasete Božju skupštinu+ koju je kupio krvlju+ svojega Sina!29 Ja znam da će nakon mog odlaska među vas ući okrutni vukovi+ koji neće imati obzira prema stadu.30 I između vas samih dići će se ljudi koji će iznositi iskrivljena učenja+ da bi odvukli učenike za sobom.+31 Zato bdijte imajući na umu da tri godine+ noću i danju nisam prestajao sa suzama opominjati+ svakoga od vas!32 I sada vas povjeravam Bogu+ i poruci o njegovoj nezasluženoj dobroti, poruci koja vas može izgraditi+ i dati vam nasljedstvo među svima posvećenima.+33 Ničijeg srebra ni zlata ni odjeće nisam poželio.+34 Sami znate da su ove ruke poslužile mojim potrebama+ i potrebama onih koji su bili sa mnom.35 U svemu sam vam pokazao da takvim napornim radom+ morate pomagati slabima+ i imati na umu riječi Gospodina Isusa, koji je rekao: ‘Više usrećuje davati+ nego primati.’”36 Rekavši to, kleknuo+ je sa svima njima i pomolio se.37 Tada su svi briznuli u velik plač i izgrlili+ su Pavla i žarko ga izljubili,+38 jer ih je jako zaboljelo to što je rekao da više neće vidjeti lice njegovo.+ Zatim su ga otpratili+ na brod.
