---

← Acts 20:15	Acts 20:16 (KJV)	Acts 20:17 →
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.	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.	And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
