Paul is preparing to leave for Jerusalem and hopes to arrive there by Pentecost.
He is at Miletus and sends for the elders of the church of Ephesus. When they arrive, he gives an impassioned speech and states that many of them will never see him again. He also states that he has earned his entire way while he was with them. This is a common theme that comes out of his letters. Wherever he went, he worked with his own hands so that the local church would not have to financially support his existence.
