Paul Goes to Macedonia and Greece
20 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3 And there abode (stayed) three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode (stayed) seven days.
Paul Final Visit to Troas
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow (the next day); and continued his speech until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber (room), where they were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
Paul Meet the Ephesian Elders
13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 And we sailed thence (to there), and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried (stayed longer) at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted (he was in a hurry), if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

Michtam of David
16 Preserve me, O God: for in thee (You) do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast (You have) said unto the Lord, Thou art (You are) my Lord: my goodness extendeth (extends) not to thee (You);
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten (who have chosen) after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine (my) inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest (You maintain) my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea (yes), I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath (has) given me counsel: my reins (my heart (mind)) also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth (rejoice): my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt (You will) not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption (Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay).
11 Thou wilt shew (You will show) me the path of life: in thy (Your) presence is fulness of joy; at thy (Your) right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

A Prayer of David
17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips (Listen to my prayer, that comes from guileless lips).
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy (Your) presence; let thine (Your) eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast (You have) proved mine (my) heart; thou hast (You have) visited me in the night; thou hast tried me (You have tested me), and shalt (shall) find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress (sin).
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy (Your) lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy (Your) paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee (You), for thou wilt (You will) hear me, O God: incline thine (Your) ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy (Show Your) marvellous lovingkindness, O thou (You) that savest (save) by thy (Your) right hand them which put their trust in thee (You) from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy (Your) wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy (Your) sword:
14 From men which are thy (Your) hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest (You fill) with thy hid (Your hidden) treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes (And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children).
15 As for me, I will behold thy (Your) face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy (Your) likeness.

FOOTNOTES
THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH
The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-
VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW
In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach = Messiah (English) / Anointed One
In Hebrew (full name): יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.
NOTES:-
1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE: Mike is a shortened form of Michael, Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.
2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God / Yah saves.
3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).
4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 )
In Greek = Christos
In English = Christ = Messiah = Anointed One

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!
WARNING from God Himself: The Word of God warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-
John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
