Acts 20:18-35
18And whenG5613 they were comeG1096 to him, he saidG3004 unto them,
Ye yourselves knowG1987, from the firstG4413 dayG2250 that I set foot in AsiaG773, after what manner I was with you all the timeG5550, 19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with all lowliness of mind, and with tearsG1144, and with trialsG3986 which befell me by the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453; 20howG5613 I shrank not from declaringG312 unto you anything that was profitableG4851, and teachingG1321 you publiclyG1219, and from houseG3624 to houseG3624, 21testifyingG1263 both to JewsG2453 and to GreeksG1672 repentanceG3341 toward GodG2316, and faithG4102 toward our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, I goG4198 boundG1210 in the spiritG4151 unto JerusalemG2419, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23save that the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 testifieth unto me in every cityG4172, sayingG3004 that bonds and afflictionsG2347 abideG3306 me. 24But I hold not my lifeG5590 of any accountG3056 as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my courseG1408, and the ministryG1248 which I receivedG2983 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG2098 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316. 25And nowG3568, beholdG2400, I know that ye all, among whom I wentG1330 about preachingG2784 the kingdomG932, shall seeG3708 my faceG4383 no more. 26Wherefore I testifyG3143 unto you this dayG2250, that I amG1510 pureG2513 from the bloodG129 of all men. 27For I shrank not from declaringG312 unto you the whole counselG1012 of GodG2316. 28TakeG4337 heed unto yourselves, and to all the flockG4168, in which the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 hath made you bishops, to feed the churchG1577 of the LordG2962 which he purchased with his ownG2398 bloodG129. 29I know that after my departing grievous wolvesG3074 shall enterG1525 in among you, not sparingG5339 the flockG4168; 30and from among your ownG1438 selves shall menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse things, to draw away the disciplesG3101 after them. 31Wherefore watchG1127 ye, rememberingG3421 that by the space of three years I ceasedG3973 not to admonishG3560 every oneG1520 nightG3571 and dayG2250 with tearsG1144. 32And nowG3568 I commend you to GodG2316, and to the wordG3056 of his graceG5485, which is ableG1410 to buildG3618 you up, and to giveG1325 you the inheritanceG2817 among all them that are sanctifiedG37. 33I covetedG1937 no man’s silverG694, or goldG5553, or apparel. 34Ye yourselves knowG1097 that these handsG5495 ministered unto my necessities, and to them that wereG1510 with me. 35In all thingsG3956 I gaveG1325 you an example, that soG3779 laboring ye oughtG1163 to helpG482 the weakG770, and to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that he himself saidG3004, It isG1510 moreG3123 blessed to giveG1325 than to receiveG2983.
