44:020:015 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.
44:020:016 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.
44:020:017 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
44:020:018 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,
44:020:019 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:
44:020:020 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,
44:020:021 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
44:020:022 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
knowing the things that shall befall me there:
44:020:023 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
bonds and afflictions abide me.
44:020:024 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.
