Acts 20:27-37

Listen to Acts 20:27-37

27 For I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the whole plan of God.

28 "Watch out for yourselves, and for all the flock in which the Ruach HaKodesh has placed you as leaders, to shepherd God's Messianic community, which he won for himself at the cost of his own Son's blood.

29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you; and they won't spare the flock.

30 Even from among your own number, men will arise and teach perversions of the truth, in order to drag away the talmidim after themselves.

31 So stay alert! Remember that for three years, night and day, with tears in my eyes, I never stopped warning you!

32 "And now I entrust you to the care of the Lord and to the message of his love and kindness, for it can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who have been set apart for God.

33 "I have not wanted for myself anyone's silver or gold or clothing.

34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided not only for my own needs, but for the needs of my co-workers as well.

35 In everything I have given you an example of how, by working hard like this, you must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Yeshua himself, 'There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.'"

36 When he had finished speaking, Sha'ul kneeled down with them all and prayed.

37 They were all in tears as they threw their arms around his neck and kissed him farewell.
