ACTS CHAPTER 20
Act_20:1-6 Paul goeth to Macedonia, and having passed over
divers countries cometh to Troas.
Act_20:7-12 Where, as he preached long, Eutychus falleth out of a
window, and is taken up dead: Paul restoreth him to life.
Act_20:13-16 He continueth his travels.
Act_20:17-35 At Miletus he calleth to him the elders of the church
of Ephesus, and taketh a solemn and affectionate
leave of them, exhorting them to look well to their
charge, and commending them to God’s grace.
Act_20:36-38 He prayeth with them and departeth.
Embraced them; \ took his farewell of them, and, as the manner of those countries was in meeting and parting with friends, he kissed them: as Luk_7:45, and far more anciently, Gen_31:55. And this was the true ground of that kiss of peace, or the holy kiss, recommended Rom_16:16 1Co_16:20 2Co_13:12, and elsewhere, which was only a civility then in use.
Departed for to go into Macedonia; yielding to the present fury of Demetrius; not so much for his own safety, as for the good of the church, that it might not be further persecuted for his sake; and that elsewhere it might by his ministry be enlarged and built up.
