12 of 38
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
13 of 38
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.
14 of 38
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
15 of 38
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.
16 of 38

22 of 38
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,
23 of 38
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:
24 of 38
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,
25 of 38
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
26 of 38
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
27 of 38
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
28 of 38
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.
29 of 38
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
30 of 38
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
31 of 38
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
32 of 38
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
33 of 38
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
34 of 38
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
35 of 38
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
36 of 38
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
37 of 38
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
38 of 38
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
39 of 38
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
40 of 38
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
41 of 38
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
42 of 38
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

  BIBLE CANON: 5
A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON 170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

It has 24-book Old Testament and 24-book New Testament which omits Jude and James, and perhaps Hebrews, and questions the epistles of John and Peter.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
