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 ahe was hurrying bto be at Jerusalem, if possible, on cthe Day of Pentecost.
The Ephesian Elders Exhorted
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
18 And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, afrom the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me aby the plotting of the Jews;
20 how aI kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
21 atestifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, brepentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And see, now aI go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
23 except that athe Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
