Acts 20:17-28
FromG575 MiletusG3399, Paul sentG3992 toG1519 EphesusG2181 for theG3588 eldersG4245 of theG3588 churchG1577.
WhenG5613 they cameG3854 toG4314 himG846, he saidG2036, “YouG4771 knowG1987 howG4459 I livedG1096 theG3588 wholeG3956 timeG5550 I was withG3326 youG4771, fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 I arrivedG1910 inG1519 the province of AsiaG773. 19I servedG1398 theG3588 LordG2962 withG3326 greatG3956 humilityG5012 andG2532 with tearsG1144, especiallyG2532 in the trialsG3986G3588 that came uponG4819 meG1473 throughG1722 theG3588 plotsG1917 of theG3588 JewsG2453. 20I did not shrink backG3361G5288 from declaringG312 anything thatG3588 was helpfulG4851 to youG4771 as I taughtG1321 youG4771 publiclyG1219 andG2532 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, 21testifyingG1263 to JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672 alikeG5037 about repentanceG3341 toG1519 GodG2316 andG2532 faithG4102 inG1519 ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.1
22AndG2532 nowG3568, compelledG2400G1210 by theG3588 SpiritG4151, IG1473 am goingG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, notG3361 knowingG1492 whatG3588 will happenG4876 to meG1473 there. 23I onlyG4133 know thatG3754 in town after townG2596G4172 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 warnsG1263 meG1473 thatG3004G3754 chainsG1199 andG2532 afflictionsG2347 awaitG3306 meG1473. 24ButG235 I considerG4160 myG3588 lifeG5590 of noG3762G3056 valueG5093 to meG1683, if onlyG5613 I may finishG5048 myG1473 courseG1408 andG2532 complete theG3588 ministryG1248 I have receivedG2983 fromG3844 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424—the ministry of testifyingG1263 to theG3588 good newsG2098 ofG3588 God’sG3588G2316 graceG5485.
NowG3568 IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 none of youG4771 amongG1722 whomG3739 I have preachedG1330G2784 theG3588 kingdomG932 will seeG3708 myG1473 faceG4383 again. 26ThereforeG1360 I testifyG3143 to youG4771 thisG4594 dayG2250 thatG3754 IG1510 am innocentG2513 ofG575 theG3588 bloodG129 of allG3956 men.2 27ForG1063 I did not shrink backG3756G5288 from declaringG3361G312 to youG4771 theG3588 wholeG3956 willG1012 of GodG2316.
28Keep watch overG4337 yourselvesG1438 andG2532 theG3588 entireG3956 flockG4168 ofG1722 whichG3739 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has madeG5087 youG4771 overseersG1985. Be shepherdsG4165 of theG3588 churchG1577 of GodG2316,3 whichG3739 He purchasedG4046 withG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129.4
