Acts 20:13

PaulAssos

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

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.
