33 I have desired no one's silver or gold or clothing!
34 You yourselves know that these hands served [to meet] my needs and [the needs of] those who were with me.
35 I have shown you [with respect to] all [things] that [by] working hard in this way it is necessary to help those who are in need, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
36 And [when he] had said these [things], he fell to his knees [and] prayed with them all.
37 And there was considerable weeping by all, and {hugging} Paul, they kissed him,
38 especially distressed at the statement that he had said, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
