Acts 20:17-28

17But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.

18And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

19serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

20how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,

21testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards 1God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

23only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

24But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of 2God.

25And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of 3God], shall see my face no more.

26Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,

27for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of 4God.

28Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of 5God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own.
