Acts 20:17-35
17But from MiletusG3399 having sentG3992 to EphesusG2181, he calledG3333 over [to him] the eldersG4245 of the assemblyG1577.
18And whenG5613 they were comeG1096 to him, he saidG3004 to them, Ye knowG1987 howG4459 I was with you all the timeG5550 from the firstG4413 dayG2250 that I arrived in AsiaG773,
19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with all lowliness, and tearsG1144, and temptations, which happenedG4819 to me through the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453;
20howG5613 I held backG5288 nothing of what is profitableG4851, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teachG1321 you publiclyG1219 and in every houseG3624,
21testifyingG1263 to both JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672 repentanceG3341 towards 1GodG2316, and faithG4102 towards our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, boundG1210 in my spiritG4151 I goG4198 to JerusalemG2419, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;
23only that the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 testifiesG1263 to me in every cityG4172, sayingG3004 that bonds and tribulationsG2347 await me.
24But I makeG4160 no accountG3056 of [my] lifeG5590 [as] dear to myself, so that I finishG5048 my courseG1408, and the ministryG1248 which I have receivedG2983 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the glad tidings of the graceG5485 of 2GodG2316.
25And nowG3568, beholdG2400, I know that ye all, among whom I have goneG1330 about preachingG2784 the kingdomG932 [of 3God], shall seeG3708 my faceG4383 no more.
26Wherefore I witness to you this dayG2250, that I amG1510 cleanG2513 from the bloodG129 of all,
27for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counselG1012 of 4GodG2316.
28TakeG4337 heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flockG4168, wherein the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has setG5087 you as overseersG1985, to shepherdG4165 the assemblyG1577 of 5GodG2316, which he has purchased with the bloodG129 of his ownG2398.
29[For] I know [this,] that there will comeG1525 in amongst you after my departure grievous wolvesG3074, not sparingG5339 the flockG4168;
30and from among your ownG1438 selves shall riseG450 up menG435 speakingG2980 pervertedG1294 things to draw away the disciplesG3101 after them.
31Wherefore watchG1127, rememberingG3421 that for three years, nightG3571 and dayG2250, I ceasedG3973 not admonishingG3560 each oneG1520 [of you] with tearsG1144.
32And nowG3568 I commitG3908 you to 6GodG2316, and to the wordG3056 of his graceG5485, which is ableG1410 to buildG3618 [you] up and giveG1325 [to you] an inheritanceG2817 among all the sanctifiedG37.
33I have covetedG1937 [the] silverG694 or goldG5553 or clothingG2441 of no oneG3762.
34Yourselves knowG1097 that these handsG5495 have ministered to my wants, and to those who wereG1510 with me.
35I have shewed you all thingsG3956, that thusG3779 labouring [we] oughtG1163 to come in aid of the weakG770, and to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that he himself saidG3004, It isG1510 moreG3123 blessed to giveG1325 than to receiveG2983.
