Luke 22

1	Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2	And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3	Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4	And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5	And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6	And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7	Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8	And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9	And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10	And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11	And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12	And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13	And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14	And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15	And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16	For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17	And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18	For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19	And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20	Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21	But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22	And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23	And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24	And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25	And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26	But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27	For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28	Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29	And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30	That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31	And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32	But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33	And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34	And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35	And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36	Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37	For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38	And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
39	And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40	And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41	And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42	saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43	And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44	And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45	And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46	And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47	And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48	But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49	When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50	And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51	And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52	Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53	When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54	Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
55	And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
56	But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
57	And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58	And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59	And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
60	And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61	And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62	And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63	And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
64	And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65	And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
66	And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
67	Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68	And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69	Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70	Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71	And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Exodus 7

1	And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2	Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3	And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4	But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5	And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6	And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7	And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8	And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9	When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10	And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11	Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12	For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13	And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
14	And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15	Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16	And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17	Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18	And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.
19	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20	And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21	And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22	And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
23	And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24	And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25	And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.

Romans 10

1	Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2	For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3	For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4	For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5	For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6	But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above: )
7	Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8	But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9	That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10	For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11	For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12	For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13	For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14	How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15	And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16	But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17	So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18	But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19	But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20	But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21	But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

Revelation 6

1	And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2	And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3	And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4	And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5	And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6	And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7	And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8	And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9	And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10	And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11	And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12	And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13	And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14	And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15	And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16	And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17	For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Song of Solomon 4

1	Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2	Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3	Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4	Thy neck is like the tower of David built for an armory, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5	Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6	Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7	Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8	Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9	Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10	How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11	Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12	A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13	Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14	Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15	A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16	Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Psalms 94

1	O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2	Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3	LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4	How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5	They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6	They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7	Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8	Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9	He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10	He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11	The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12	Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13	That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14	For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15	But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16	Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17	Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18	When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19	In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20	Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21	They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22	But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23	And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

Proverbs 27

1	Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2	Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3	A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4	Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5	Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6	Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7	The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8	As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9	Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10	Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
11	My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12	A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13	Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14	He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15	A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16	Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which betrayeth itself.
17	Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18	Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored.
19	As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20	Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21	As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22	Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23	Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24	For riches are not forever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25	The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26	The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27	And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Esther 5

1	Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
2	And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
3	Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
4	And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
5	Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6	And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
7	Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
8	If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king hath said.
9	Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
10	Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
11	And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
12	Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
13	Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
14	Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

Zechariah 12

1	The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2	Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3	And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4	In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5	And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6	In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7	The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8	In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10	And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11	In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12	And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13	The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14	All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

Acts 20

1	And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, 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 Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5	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 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 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 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 we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; 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 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 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 showed you, and have taught you publicly, 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.
22	And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23	Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth 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, 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, shall see my face no more.
26	Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I 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 unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29	For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30	Also of your own selves 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, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33	I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34	Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35	I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, 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.
