Context
14Alipotukuta huko Aso, tulimpakia melini, tukasafiri wote mpaka Mitilene. 15Kutoka huko tuliendelea kwa njia ya bahari, na kesho yake tukafika mahali panapokabili Kio. Siku iliyofuata tukavuka kwenda Samo, na kesho yake tukawasili Mileto. 16Paulo alikuwa ameamua tusipitie Efeso ili asitumie muda mwingi huko sehemu za Asia, kwa sababu alikuwa anatamani kama ikiwezekana kufika Yerusalemu kabla ya siku ya Pentekoste. 17Paulo akiwa Mileto, alituma mjumbe kwenda Efeso kuwaita wazee wa kanisa waje wakutane naye. 18Walipofika akawaambia, “Ninyi wenyewe mnajua jinsi nilivyoishi katikati yenu muda wote tangu siku ya kwanza nilipokanyaga hapa Asia.
