Acts 20:23-33

23 except that ¹the Holy Spirit solemnly ²testifies to me in every city, saying that ³bonds and afflictions await me.

24 "But ⁴I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ⁵finish my course and ⁶the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ⁷testify solemnly of the gospel of ⁸the grace of God.

25 "And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about ⁹preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face.

26 "Therefore, I testify to you this day that ¹⁰I am innocent of the blood of all men.

27 "For I ¹¹did not shrink from declaring to you the whole ¹²purpose of God.

28 "Be on guard for yourselves and for all ¹³the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd ¹⁴the church of God which ¹⁵He purchased with His own blood.

29 "I know that after my departure ¹⁶savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing ¹⁷the flock;

30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away ¹⁸the disciples after them.

31 "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of ¹⁹three years I did not cease to admonish each one ²⁰with tears.

32 "And now I ²¹commend you to God and to ²²the word of His grace, which is able to ²³build you up and to give you ²⁴the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 "²⁵I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes.
