* [[ Acts 20:1 (PKJV) |1]]    After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.
-
     2  he said to them, “Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?” But they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
+
     2  Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece
-
     3  And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.
+
     3  and stayed there three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.
-
     4  Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
+
     4  And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia, also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.
-
     5  When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
+
     5  These, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.
-
     6  And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
+
     6  But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
-
     7  Now the men were about twelve in all.
+
     7  Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, preached to them and continued his message until midnight.
-
     8  And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
+
     8  There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together.
-
     9  But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
+
     9  And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was falling into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued preaching, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
-
     10  And this continued for the space of two years, so that all those who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
+
     10  But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, because his life is in him.
-
     11  Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
+
     11  Now when he had come up again, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even until daybreak, he departed.
-
     12  so that handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
+
     12  And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.
-
     13  Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
+
     13  Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; because he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.
-
     14  And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief priest, who did so.
+
     14  And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
-
     15  And the evil spirit replied and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
+
     15  We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.
-
     16  Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
+
     16  Because, Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; because he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.
-
     17  This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
+
     17  From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
-
     18  And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds.
+
     18  And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,
-
     19  Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of everyone. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.
+
     19  serving the Lord with all humility of mind, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;
-
     20  So the word of God grew mightily and prevailed.
+
     20  and how I kept back nothing that was helpful to you, but have shown you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
-
     21  When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
+
     21  testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
     22  So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
+
     22  And behold, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall happen to me there,
-
     23  And about that time there arose no small commotion about the Way.
+
     23  except that the Holy Spirit witnesses in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me.
-
     24  Because, a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen,
+
     24  But none of these things move me; nor do I count 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 testify the gospel of the grace of God.
-
     25  whom he called together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: “Men, you know that we have our wealth by this trade.
+
     25  “And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no longer.
-
     26  Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands.
+
     26  Therefore I want you to record this day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.
-
     27  So that not only is this trade of ours in danger of becoming disgraced, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence shall be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
+
     27  Because I have not shunned to declare to you the entire counsel of God.
-
     28  Now when they heard these words, they were full of wrath and shouted out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
+
     28  Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among whom the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
-
     29  So the entire city was filled with confusion, and having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions, they rushed into the theater with one accord.
+
     29  Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
-
     30  And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.
+
     30  Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after themselves.
-
     31  Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him begging him that he himself would not venture into the theater.
+
     31  Therefore watch, and remember that for the space of three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
-
     32  Some therefore shouted one thing and some another, because the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.
+
     32  “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

     33  And they drew Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.
+
     33  I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel.
-
     34  But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice shouted out for about the space of two hours, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
+
     34  Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.
-
     35  And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
+
     35  I have shown you in everything, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
-
     36  Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly.
+
     36  And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
-
     37  Because, you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
+
     37  Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

   2   Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece
   3   and stayed there three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.
   4   And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia, also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.
