What happensPermalink
Paul leaves Ephesus for Corinth, where he spends three months until he is threatened and returns to Troas. While there, one of Paul’s sermons goes so long a man falls asleep, falls three stories, dies, and is revived by Paul. Paul continues his journey to Jerusalem.
Why it mattersPermalink
Paul’s address to the Ephesian elders at Miletus shows first that he knew he had to get to Jerusalem and could not get caught up in farewells at Ephesus, and second that he knew he was heading into trials. This speech is the only one in Acts addressed to Christians.
Key versePermalink
“And now, behold, I [Paul] am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there…”
