Acts 20:13-38

13But 1we wentG4281 aheadG4281 to the shipG4143 and setG321 sailG321 for AssosG789, intendingG3195 fromG1564 thereG1564 to takeG353 PaulG3972 on boardG353; for thatG3779 wasG3779 whatG3779 he had arrangedG1299, intendingG3195 himselfG846 to goG3978 2byG3978 landG3978. 14And whenG5613 he metG4820 us at AssosG789, we tookG353 him onG353 boardG353 and cameG2064 to MityleneG3412. 15SailingG636 fromG2547 thereG2547, we arrivedG2658 the followingG1897 day oppositeG481 ChiosG5508; and the nextG2087 day we crossedG3846 overG3846 to SamosG4544, and on the followingG2192 day we cameG2064 to 3MiletusG3399. 16For PaulG3972 had decidedG2919 to sailG3896 pastG3896 4EphesusG2181 soG3704 thatG3704 he wouldG1096 not have to loseG5551 timeG5551 in 56AsiaG773; for he was hurryingG4692, ifG1487 it might be possibleG1415 for him 7to be in JerusalemG2414 8the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.

17From MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 word to 9EphesusG2181 and calledG3333 toG3333 himselfG3333 10the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577. 18And whenG5613 they cameG3854 to him, he saidG3004 to them,

“You yourselvesG4771 knowG1987, 11from the firstG4413 dayG2250 that I setG1910 footG1910 in 12AsiaG773, howG4459 I was with you the wholeG3956 timeG5550, 19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with allG3956 humilityG5012 and with tearsG1144 and trialsG3986 which cameG4819 upon me 13throughG1722 14the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453; 20howG5613 I 15did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you anythingG3762 that wasG4851 beneficialG4851, and teachingG1321 you publiclyG1219 and 16from houseG3624 to houseG3624, 21solemnlyG1263 17testifyingG1263 to bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672 of 18repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316 and 19faithG4102 in our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, boundG1210 by the 20SpiritG4151, 21I amG4198 onG4198 my wayG4198 to JerusalemG2419, not knowingG3609 what will happenG4876 to me thereG1722G846, 23exceptG4133 that 22the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 solemnlyG1263 23testifiesG1263 to me in everyG2596 cityG4172, sayingG3004 that 24chainsG1199 and afflictionsG2347 awaitG3306 me. 24But 25I do not considerG4160 my lifeG5590 of anyG3762 accountG3056 as dearG5093 to myselfG1683, soG5613 thatG5613 I may 26finishG5048 my courseG1408 and 27the ministryG1248 whichG3739 I receivedG2983 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to 28testifyG1263 solemnlyG1263 of the gospelG2098 of 29God’sG2316 graceG5485.

25“And nowG3568 beholdG2400, I knowG3609 that allG3956 of you, amongG1722 whomG3739 I wentG1330 aboutG1330 30preachingG2784 the kingdomG932, will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG3708 my faceG4383. 26ThereforeG1360, I 31testifyG3143 to you thisG4594 dayG2250 that 32I amG1510 33innocentG2513 of the bloodG129 of allG3956 peopleG3956. 27For I 34did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you the wholeG3956 35purposeG1012 of GodG2316. 28BeG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 for yourselvesG1438 and for allG3956 36the flockG4168, amongG1722 whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has madeG5087 you 37overseersG1985, to shepherdG4165 38the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3739 39He 40purchasedG4046 41with His ownG2398 bloodG129. 29I knowG3609 that afterG3326 my departureG867 42savageG926 wolvesG3074 will comeG1525 inG1525 amongG1519 you, not sparingG5339 43the flockG4168; 30and from amongG1537 your own selvesG846 menG435 will ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverseG1294 thingsG1294 to drawG645 awayG645 44the disciplesG3101 afterG3694 them. 31ThereforeG1352, be on the alertG1127, rememberingG3421 that nightG3571 and dayG2250 for a periodG5148 ofG5148 45threeG5148 yearsG5148 I did not ceaseG3973 to admonishG3560 eachG1538 oneG1520 46with tearsG1144. 32And nowG3568 I 47entrustG3908 you to GodG2316 and to 48the wordG3056 of His graceG5485, which is ableG1410 to 49buildG3618 you upG3618 and to giveG1325 you 50the inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 allG3956 thoseG3588 who are sanctifiedG37. 3351I have covetedG1937 noG3762 one’sG3762 silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 orG2228 clothesG2441. 34You yourselvesG846 knowG1097 that 52theseG3778 handsG5495 servedG5256 my own needsG5532 and the 53men who were with me. 35In everythingG3956 I showedG5263 you that by workingG2872 hardG2872 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779 you mustG1163 helpG482 the weakG770 and rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that He HimselfG846 saidG3004, ‘It is moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.’”

36When he had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, he 54kneltG1119G5087 downG5087G1119 and prayedG4336 with them allG3956. 37And 55they allG3956 began to weepG2805 aloudG2425 and 5657embracedG1968G1909G5137 PaulG3972, and repeatedly kissedG2705 him, 3858grievingG3600 especiallyG3122 overG1909 59the wordG3056 whichG3739 he had spokenG3004, that they wouldG3195 not seeG2334 his faceG4383 againG3765. And they were 60accompanyingG4311 him to the shipG4143.
