Acts 20:21-30

21I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

22“And now I am on my way to Jerusalem, compelled by the Spirit, not knowing what I will encounter there,

23except that in every town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions are waiting for me.

24But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.

25“And now I know that none of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will ever see me again.

26Therefore I declare to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you,

27because I did not avoid declaring to you the whole plan of God.

28Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

29I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

30Men will rise up even from your own number and distort the truth to lure the disciples into following them.
