Acts XX, 16, 31 — 'ἡμέραν' - 'emeran' - 'day'.
Acts XX, 18 — 'ἡμέρας' - 'emeras' - 'day'.
Acts XX, 34 — 'ἐμοῦ' - 'emou' - 'me' ((with) me).
Acts XX, 36 — 'προσηύξατο' - 'proseuksato' - 'prayed a high, spirited prayer' - from 'προσεύχομαι' - 'proseukhomai' - 'to pray a high, spirited prayer'. Kneeling as a sign of humility and humility itself do not prevent one from praying a high, spirited, uplifting or even exalted prayer. It is only important that the raising up in prayer is from God. Paul does speak of high things, in fact he prophesies, and therefore he cannot help but pray high and inspired prayer. But if a person prophesies and prays, this does not mean that they reject their limits and their nature. God acts in this case, but a person also acts humbly, truthfully, so as not to fall into arrogance.
John 17:11 — 'ἡμεῖς' - 'emeis' - 'We'.
John XVII, 12 — 'ἤμην' - 'emen' - 'was'.
