Acts 20:22-38

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.

36And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downG5087 and prayedG4336 with them all. 37And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neckG5137 and kissed him, 38sorrowing most of all for the wordG3056 which he had spoken, that they should behold his faceG4383 no more. And they brought him on his way unto the shipG4143.
