Acts 20:17-28

17From MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 word to 1EphesusG2181 and calledG3333 toG3333 himselfG3333 2the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577. 18And whenG5613 they cameG3854 to him, he saidG3004 to them,

“You yourselvesG4771 knowG1987, 3from the firstG4413 dayG2250 that I setG1910 footG1910 in 4AsiaG773, howG4459 I was with you the wholeG3956 timeG5550, 19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with allG3956 humilityG5012 and with tearsG1144 and trialsG3986 which cameG4819 upon me 5throughG1722 6the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453; 20howG5613 I 7did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you anythingG3762 that wasG4851 beneficialG4851, and teachingG1321 you publiclyG1219 and 8from houseG3624 to houseG3624, 21solemnlyG1263 9testifyingG1263 to bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672 of 10repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316 and 11faithG4102 in our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, boundG1210 by the 12SpiritG4151, 13I amG4198 onG4198 my wayG4198 to JerusalemG2419, not knowingG3609 what will happenG4876 to me thereG1722G846, 23exceptG4133 that 14the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 solemnlyG1263 15testifiesG1263 to me in everyG2596 cityG4172, sayingG3004 that 16chainsG1199 and afflictionsG2347 awaitG3306 me. 24But 17I do not considerG4160 my lifeG5590 of anyG3762 accountG3056 as dearG5093 to myselfG1683, soG5613 thatG5613 I may 18finishG5048 my courseG1408 and 19the ministryG1248 whichG3739 I receivedG2983 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to 20testifyG1263 solemnlyG1263 of the gospelG2098 of 21God’sG2316 graceG5485.

25“And nowG3568 beholdG2400, I knowG3609 that allG3956 of you, amongG1722 whomG3739 I wentG1330 aboutG1330 22preachingG2784 the kingdomG932, will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG3708 my faceG4383. 26ThereforeG1360, I 23testifyG3143 to you thisG4594 dayG2250 that 24I amG1510 25innocentG2513 of the bloodG129 of allG3956 peopleG3956. 27For I 26did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you the wholeG3956 27purposeG1012 of GodG2316. 28BeG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 for yourselvesG1438 and for allG3956 28the flockG4168, amongG1722 whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has madeG5087 you 29overseersG1985, to shepherdG4165 30the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3739 31He 32purchasedG4046 33with His ownG2398 bloodG129.
