Acts 20:25-31

25 "And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about ¹preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face.

26 "Therefore, I testify to you this day that ²I am innocent of the blood of all men.

27 "For I ³did not shrink from declaring to you the whole ⁴purpose of God.

28 "Be on guard for yourselves and for all ⁵the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd ⁶the church of God which ⁷He purchased with His own blood.

29 "I know that after my departure ⁸savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing ⁹the flock;

30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away ¹⁰the disciples after them.

31 "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of ¹¹three years I did not cease to admonish each one ¹²with tears.
