1After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia.

2When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.

3There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

4Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas,

6but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

7On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

8There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

9And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

10But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

11And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.

12And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

13But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

14And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

15And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus.

16For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.
