Acts 20:21-30
21solemnly 1testifying to both Jews and Greeks of 2repentance toward God and 3faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, behold, bound by the 4Spirit, 5I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23except that 6the Holy Spirit solemnly 7testifies to me in every city, saying that 8chains and afflictions await me. 24But 9I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may 10finish my course and 11the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to 12testify solemnly of the gospel of 13God’s grace.
25“And now behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about 14preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face. 26Therefore, I 15testify to you this day that 16I am 17innocent of the blood of all people. 27For I 18did not shrink from declaring to you the whole 19purpose of God. 28Be on guard for yourselves and for all 20the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you 21overseers, to shepherd 22the church of God which 23He 24purchased 25with His own blood. 29I know that after my departure 26savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing 27the flock; 30and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things to draw away 28the disciples after them.
