Acts 20:17 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 20.

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.

15 Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.

16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.

18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.

19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.

20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,

21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
