Acts 20:16-18

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁶ Paul decided not to stop at Ephesus. He did not want to spend time in Asia Minor. He kept going as fast as he could, because he hoped to be at the feast in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

¹⁷ He sent a message from Miletus to Ephesus to call the leaders of the church to come to him.

¹⁸ When they came, he said, `You know how I have lived all the time that I have been with you. I lived that way from the first day I came into Asia.
