Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 20 : 7 - 16
Chapter 20
| 7 | Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.
|
| 8 | There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together.
|
| 9 | And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
|
| 10 | But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him."
|
| 11 | Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.
|
| 12 | And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.
|
| 13 | Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.
|
| 14 | And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
|
| 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 | For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
