1 По ᲂу҆тише́нїи же молвы̀, призва́въ па́ѵелъ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ, ᲂу҆тѣ́шивъ и҆ цѣлова́въ и҆̀хъ, и҆зы́де и҆тѝ въ македо́нїю.
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Проше́дъ же страны̑ ѡ҆́ны и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шивъ и҆̀хъ сло́вомъ мно́гимъ, прїи́де во є҆лла́дꙋ:
2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 пожи́въ же мцⷭ҇ы трѝ, бы́вшꙋ на́нь навѣ́тꙋ ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й, хотѧ́щꙋ ѿвезти́сѧ въ сѷрі́ю, бы́сть хотѣ́нїе возврати́тисѧ сквозѣ̀ македо́нїю.
3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 Послѣ́дова же є҆мꙋ̀ да́же до а҆сі́и сѡсїпа́тръ пѵ́рровъ бе́рѧнинъ, солꙋ́нѧне же а҆рїста́рхъ и҆ секꙋ́ндъ, и҆ га́їй де́рвѧнинъ и҆ тїмоѳе́й, а҆сі́ане же тѷхі́къ и҆ трофі́мъ.
4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 Сі́и предше́дше жда́хꙋ на́съ въ трѡа́дѣ.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 Мы́ же ѿвезо́хомсѧ по дне́хъ ѡ҆прѣсно́чныхъ ѿ фїлі̑ппъ и҆ прїидо́хомъ къ ни̑мъ въ трѡа́дꙋ во дне́хъ пѧтѝ, и҆дѣ́же пребы́хомъ дні́й се́дмь.
6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
7 Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ, собра́вшымсѧ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ преломи́ти хлѣ́бъ, па́ѵелъ бесѣ́доваше къ ни̑мъ, хотѧ̀ и҆зы́ти на ᲂу҆́трїи, простре́ же сло́во до полꙋ́нощи.
7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Бѧ́хꙋ же свѣщы̀ мнѡ́ги въ го́рницѣ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ́хомъ со́брани.
8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
9 Сѣдѧ́ же нѣ́кто ю҆́ноша, и҆́менемъ є҆ѵтѵ́хъ, во ѻ҆кнѣ̀, ѡ҆тѧгче́нъ сно́мъ глꙋбо́кимъ, глаго́лющꙋ па́ѵлꙋ ѡ҆ мно́зѣ, прекло́ньсѧ ѿ сна̀, падѐ ѿ трекро́вника до́лꙋ, и҆ взѧ́ша є҆го̀ ме́ртва.
9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
10 Соше́дъ же па́ѵелъ нападѐ на́нь, и҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь є҆го̀ речѐ: не мо́лвите, и҆́бо дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ въ не́мъ є҆́сть.
10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
11 Возше́дъ же и҆ прело́мль хлѣ́бъ и҆ вкꙋ́шь, дово́льнѡ же бесѣ́довавъ да́же до зарѝ, и҆ та́кѡ и҆зы́де.
11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12 Приведо́ша же ѻ҆́трока жи́ва и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шишасѧ не ма́лѡ.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 Мы́ же, прише́дше въ кора́бль, ѿвезо́хомсѧ во а҆́ссонъ, ѿтꙋ́дꙋ хотѧ́ще поѧ́ти па́ѵла: та́кѡ бо на́мъ бѣ̀ повелѣ́лъ, хотѧ̀ са́мъ пѣ́шь и҆тѝ.
13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14 И҆ ꙗ҆́коже сни́десѧ съ на́ми во а҆́ссонѣ, взе́мше є҆го̀ прїидо́хомъ въ мїтѷли́нъ.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
15 И҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ ѿве́зшесѧ, во ᲂу҆́трїе приста́хомъ проти́вꙋ хі́ю, въ дрꙋгі́й же ѿвезо́хомсѧ въ са́монъ, и҆ пребы́вше въ трѡгѷллі́и, въ грѧдꙋ́щїй же де́нь прїидо́хомъ въ мїли́тъ:
15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 сꙋди́ бо па́ѵелъ ми́мо и҆тѝ є҆фе́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀ закоснѣ́ти во а҆сі́и, тща́шебосѧ, а҆́ще возмо́жно бꙋ́детъ, въ де́нь пѧтьдесѧ́тный бы́ти во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Ѿ мїли́та же посла́въ во є҆фе́съ, призва̀ пресвѵ́теры цр҃кѡ́вныѧ,
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
18 и҆ ꙗ҆́коже прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: вы̀ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ пе́рвагѡ днѐ, ѿне́лиже прїидо́хъ во а҆сі́ю, ка́кѡ съ ва́ми всѐ вре́мѧ бы́хъ,
18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19 рабо́таѧ гдⷭ҇еви со всѧ́кимъ смиреномⷣрїемъ и҆ мно́гими слеза́ми и҆ напа́стьми, прилꙋчи́вшимисѧ мнѣ̀ ѿ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ навѣ̑тъ:
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 ꙗ҆́кѡ ни въ чесо́мъ ѿ поле́зныхъ ѡ҆бинꙋ́хсѧ, є҆́же сказа́ти ва́мъ и҆ наꙋчи́ти ва́съ пред̾ людьмѝ и҆ по домѡ́мъ,
20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 засвидѣ́тельствꙋѧ і҆ꙋде́ємъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ є҆́же къ бг҃ꙋ покаѧ́нїе и҆ вѣ́рꙋ ꙗ҆́же въ гдⷭ҇а на́шего і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 И҆ нн҃ѣ, сѐ, а҆́зъ свѧ́занъ дꙋ́хомъ грѧдꙋ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же въ не́мъ хотѧ̑щаѧ приключи́тисѧ мнѣ̀ не вѣ́дый:
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
23 то́чїю ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й по всѧ̑ гра́ды свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ, гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́зы менѐ и҆ скѡ́рби ждꙋ́тъ.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
24 Но ни є҆ди́но же попече́нїе творю̀, нижѐ и҆́мамъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ че́стнꙋ себѣ̀, ра́звѣ є҆́же сконча́ти тече́нїе моѐ съ ра́достїю и҆ слꙋ́жбꙋ, ю҆́же прїѧ́хъ ѿ гдⷭа і҆и҃са, засвидѣ́тельствовати є҆ѵⷢ҇лїе блгⷣти бж҃їѧ.
24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
25 И҆ нн҃ѣ, сѐ, а҆́зъ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ктомꙋ̀ не ᲂу҆́зрите лица̀ моегѡ̀ вы̀ всѝ, въ ни́хже проидо́хъ проповѣ́дꙋѧ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Тѣ́мже свидѣ́тельствꙋю ва́мъ во дне́шнїй де́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ чи́стъ а҆́зъ ѿ кро́ве всѣ́хъ,
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
27 не ѡ҆бинꙋ́хсѧ бо сказа́ти ва́мъ всю̀ во́лю бж҃їю.
27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Внима́йте ᲂу҆̀бо себѣ̀ и҆ всемꙋ̀ ста́дꙋ, въ не́мже ва́съ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й поста́ви є҆пі́скопы, пастѝ цр҃ковь гдⷭ҇а и҆ бг҃а, ю҆́же стѧжа̀ кро́вїю свое́ю.
28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
29 А҆́зъ бо вѣ́мъ сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ по ѿше́ствїи мое́мъ вни́дꙋтъ во́лцы тѧ́жцы въ ва́съ, не щадѧ́щїи ста́да:
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 и҆ ѿ ва́съ самѣ́хъ воста́нꙋтъ мꙋ́жїе глаго́лющїи развращє́наѧ, є҆́же ѿторга́ти ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ в̾слѣ́дъ себє̀.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди бди́те, помина́юще, ꙗ҆́кѡ трѝ лѣ̑та но́щь и҆ де́нь не престаѧ́хъ ᲂу҆чѧ̀ со слеза́ми є҆ди́наго кого́ждо ва́съ.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
32 И҆ нн҃ѣ предаю̀ ва́съ, бра́тїе, бг҃ови и҆ сло́вꙋ блгⷣти є҆гѡ̀, могꙋ́щемꙋ назда́ти и҆ да́ти ва́мъ наслѣ́дїе во ѡ҆сщ҃е́нныхъ всѣ́хъ.
32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 Сребра̀ и҆лѝ зла́та и҆лѝ ри́зъ ни є҆ди́нагѡ возжела́хъ:
33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
34 са́ми вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ тре́бованїю моемꙋ̀ и҆ сꙋ́щымъ со мно́ю послꙋжи́стѣ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ сі́и.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
35 Всѧ̑ сказа́хъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ трꙋжда́ющымсѧ подоба́етъ застꙋпа́ти немощны́ѧ, помина́ти же сло́во гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, ꙗ҆́кѡ са́мъ речѐ: бл҃же́ннѣе є҆́сть па́че даѧ́ти, не́жели прїима́ти.
35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, прекло́нь кѡлѣ́на своѧ̑, со всѣ́ми и҆́ми помоли́сѧ.
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Мно́гъ же бы́сть пла́чь всѣ̑мъ: и҆ напа́дше на вы́ю па́ѵловꙋ, ѡ҆блобыза́хꙋ є҆го̀,
37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
38 скорбѧ́ще наипа́че ѡ҆ словесѝ, є҆́же речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ктомꙋ̀ не и҆́мꙋтъ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆зрѣ́ти. Провожда́хꙋ же є҆го̀ въ кора́бль.
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 20:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XLIII)

    There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece. For, it says, "when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, and there abode three months.

    Moreover, ye were all distinguished by humility, and were in no respect puffed up with pride, but yielded obedience rather than extorted it, and were more willing to give than to receive. Content with the provision which God had made for you, and carefully attending to His words, ye were inwardly filled with His doctrine, and His sufferings were before …
