Paul, after this uproar, heads through Macedonia and Greece, likely following the path Timothy and Erastus took. He teaches late into the night one night (and you thought my sermons were long!) and a young man falls out of the window and dies from the fall. Paul holds him and the life returns to him. Then they eat together and Paul heads back to Ephesus.

Here there is a tearful goodbye. You could imagine that after years of ministry, this was a hard goodbye! He reminds them of the purity of the ministry he did while there and for them not to doubt what has been taught. You can see why the letter to the Ephesian church is such a masterpiece later! There is a depth of discipleship here that he can draw from in the letter he later writes! He knew he would not return through Ephesus again, and they prayed together and cried together and he headed to Jerusalem.
