Acts20.13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot. > Paul walked - Luke and other sailed - detail again, would never be in a legend like this(at least i think)
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. > together
15 The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Kios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus.  > Sailing day by day, distances we do today in hours. How did they feel about time? People became christians like in an instance. But travelling was slow. What did they do all this time sitting on a boat - day by day. 
16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, for he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost. > Paul was in a hurry: this is almost funny, when we read this verses before.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.  > Paul still wants to make it possible to see the Elders from Ephesus!
18 When they arrived, he said to them: You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia.  > What is Paul telling them:
<> You know how i lifed >> FIRST THING: YOU KNOW HOW I LIFED, not what i preached or what i know. FROM THE FIRST DAY ... Paul was so very open!19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews.  > I SERVED THE LORD! >> WHOM I SERVING?
HOW - PAUL SERVED THE LORD WITH GREAT HUMILIY - i would not even say a sentance like this! Paul was so sure about who he is and what he is doing.
HOW - PAUL SERVED WITH TEARS - Is my service to the church bringing me to tears?
Why tears - hurt, love, joy, paission in what he is doing, he lifed it out to the full! - Also; i could never say a sentance like this, because it is not true in my case!
But i feel it is changing more in this direction: I have more tears. I am thankful that i am less numb....
SEVERELY TESTED - i am not tested like this - Paul was so outstanding, that the persection was always focused on him.
20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. > NOT HESITATED TO PREACH ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOU: What did i not preach so far - why not? Do i know what is helpful - often i do not know, what is the right thing to say to a situation.?.
 > PREACHED PUBLICLY AND FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE - the ministry of Paul was all the time going on - he was ready to preach / proclaim / teach / explane /// Paul was full of God!
21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. > The simple message of Paul: TURN TO GOD, IN REPENTANCE & HAVE FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS:
This is so cool:
1. turn to God
2. in repentance - > when i see God, i repent - i see love, truth, hope, joy, live
3. have faith in our Lord Jesus - > faith & the Lord - it is not just believing, that their is a God, but believing in a Lord - A Lord expect obidience22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.  > compelled by the Spirit = when was i the last time compelled by the spirit? What have i done?
23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.  > this is a perspective - and still he is going.
24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.  > What would i say about my life? Am i realizing that i am in a race? Do i know my taks, do i have the expectation to complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - THE TAKS OF TESTIFYING TO THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S GRACE.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. > 
26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men.  > Why is he saying that?
27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.  > Who else would say a thing like this?
