Acts 20:33-38

33When I stayed among you, I did not ask you to give me money or clothes.

34You yourselves know that I worked with my hands. I did that to get money. Then my friends and I could have the things that we needed.

35In this way I have shown you how you should live. You should work well so that you may help sick or weak people. You should remember what Jesus himself said: “It may make you happy when you receive things. But it makes you more happy when you give things to someone.” ’

36Then Paul finished speaking. He went down on his knees together with the leaders of the believers. He prayed with them all.

37They all cried a lot, because Paul wanted to leave them. They hugged him and they kissed him to say ‘goodbye’.

38They were very sad because Paul had said, ‘I will never see you again.’ After that, they walked with Paul to the ship.
