Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παύσασθαι τὸν θόρυβον, μεταπεμψάμενος ὁ Παῦλος τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ παρακαλέσας, ἀσπασάμενος, ἐξῆλθεν πορεύεσθαι εἰς Μακεδονίαν.

Ἐν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων, συνηγμένων ἡμῶν κλάσαι ἄρτον, ὁ Παῦλος διελέγετο αὐτοῖς, μέλλων ἐξιέναι τῇ ἐπαύριον· παρέτεινέν τε τὸν λόγον μέχρι μεσονυκτίου.

Acts 20:16
Κεκρίκει γὰρ ὁ Παῦλος παραπλεῦσαι τὴν Ἔφεσον, ὅπως μὴ γένηται αὐτῷ χρονοτριβῆσαι ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· ἔσπευδεν γὰρ, εἰ δυνατὸν εἴη αὐτῷ, τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς γενέσθαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.

Acts 20:18
Ὡς δὲ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας ἀφ’ ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν, πῶς μεθ’ ὑμῶν τὸν πάντα χρόνον ἐγενόμην,
Now when they came to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day from which I entered into Asia how I was with you the entire time.
Paraphrase: When they arrived, he addressed them: “You all know very well that from the time I set foot in Asia until now, I have not left your side. I have been with you the entire time.
Comments:

Acts 20:19
δουλεύων τῷ Κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης, καὶ δακρύων, καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων·
Serving the Lord with all humility and tears and trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews.
Paraphrase: I have poured out my life for you, humbly seeking to lead you in the right way, many times with tears. I’ve not been a tyrant or bully in these matters. I tried hard to be a shepherd who cares for the flock, like a nursing-mother (Numbers 11:12) tends to her infant. You all remember the wickedness of the Jews who laid elaborate schemes to try and catch me and to silence me.
Comments:
Acts 20:20
ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων, τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν, καὶ διδάξαι ὑμᾶς δημοσίᾳ καὶ κατ’ οἴκους,
how I never drew back to proclaim to you anything profitable and to teach you with supplications and to each house.
Paraphrase: I know you remember all the messages I delivered to you; I can say before God and my own conscience that I never held back anything which I thought might bring you some spiritual profit. But my ministry was not just public; I also ministered to you privately. You will remember all the pleasant visits we had when I visited your homes, and we all prayed that God would establish us in truth of the gospel.
Comments:
κατα has a distributive meaning when the OP is accusative.
ἀναγγεῖλαι and διδάξαι = complementary infinitives
Acts 20:21
διαμαρτυρόμενος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησιν, τὴν εἰς Θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν.
solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paraphrase: My message was simple and uncomplicated. I said the same thing to Jews and Gentiles; it made no difference to whom I was speaking. It was the message of repentance and faith. Nothing more; nothing less. Repentance is a turning away from sin and a coming to God; faith is a taking refuge in the person and work of Jesus. Everything else I said on any other topic was just supplementary to this grand message.
Comments:
The first εἰς is directional (also in v22) with the idea of moving towards; the second is also directional but is better translated into.
The two together [repentance & faith] constitute the whole of practical religion, and comprise all the lawful and obligatory themes of evangelical instruction. He who preaches the repentance and the faith here spoken of, in all their fulness and variety, will need to seek no other topics, and may humbly boast of having kept back nothing that was profitable to his hearers. source
repentance is used in Scripture much more comprehensively than saving faith. It is the whole conversion of the soul to God, the general acting in which faith is implicitly involved. When the Apostle calls for repentance, he virtually calls for faith; for as the actings of faith imply a penitent frame, so the exercise of repentance includes faith. It is therefore proper, that when a comprehensive answer is demanded to the question, “What must we do?” that answer should be generally, “Repent,” and that when the instrument of justification is inquired after specially, the answer should be, “Believe.” source
Acts 20:22
Καὶ νῦν, ἰδοὺ, δεδεμένος ἐγὼ τῷ πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι μὴ εἰδώς,
and now, behold, having been led by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem; the things happening to me in her, not knowing.
Paraphrase: Now the time has come for me to say good-bye. The Spirit of God is leading me to Jerusalem, and I must follow even though I have no idea what is going to happen to me there.
