Context of Acts 20:32
30and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them. 31Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears. And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified. 33I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one. 34Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.
