Acts 20

1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced
ℵBA ⟨exhorted and embraced⟩
 them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3 And 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.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia
ℵB omit
 Sopater of
ℵBA ⟨the son of Pyrrhus of⟩
 Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 These
ℵBA ⟨Now these⟩
 going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 And 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.
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples
ℵBA ⟨we⟩
 came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they
ℵBA ⟨we⟩
 were gathered together.
9 And 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.
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11 When he therefore was come up again, and
B omit
 had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 And 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.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day
B ⟨in the evening⟩
 we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium
ℵBA omit
; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16 For 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.
18 And when they were come to him, he said
A ⟨and they were together, 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,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many
ℵBA omit
 tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
B omit
.
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall
A ⟨may⟩
 befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth
ℵBA ⟨witnesseth to me⟩
 in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But 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,
ℵB ⟨on no account do I hold my life dear unto myself, that I might finish my course, and the ministry,⟩; A ⟨none of these things move me, neither hold I my life so precious to me as the finishing of my course and of the ministry⟩
 which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God
ℵBA omit
, shall see my face no more
ℵ ⟨not see my face⟩
.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am
ℵB ⟨am⟩
 pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore
ℵBA omit
 unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God
A ⟨the Lord⟩
, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For
ℵA omit; B ⟨Because⟩
 I know this
ℵBA omit
, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves
B ⟨you⟩
 shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren,
ℵBA omit
 I commend you to God
B ⟨the Lord⟩
, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you
ℵBA omit
 an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea,
ℵBA omit
 ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus
A omit
, 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.
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

About the Pointing

The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
