25
And now lo! I know, that ye shall no more see my face, all ye by which I passed [all ye by whom I passed], preaching the kingdom of God.
26
Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean of the blood of all men.
27
For I fled not away [For I flew not away], that I told not to you all the counsel of God.
28
Take ye attention to you [Take attention to you], and to all the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he [hath] purchased with his blood.
29
I know, that after my departing, ravening wolves [snatching wolves] shall enter into you, not sparing the flock;
30
and men speaking depraved things shall rise of yourselves [and of yourselves men speaking wayward things shall rise], that they lead away disciples after them.
31
For which thing wake ye, holding in mind that by three years night and day I ceased not with tears admonishing each of you.
32
And now I betake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is mighty to edify and give heritage in all that be made holy.
33
And of no man I coveted silver, and gold, either cloak [or cloth],
34
as [ye] yourselves know; for to those things that were needful to me, and to these that be with me, these hands ministered. [+as ye yourselves know; for to those things that were needful to me, and to those that be with me, these hands ministered.]
35
All these things I showed to you, for so it behooveth men travailing to receive frail men [to receive the sick], and to have mind of the word of the Lord Jesus; for he said, It is more blessful to give, than to receive [for he said, It is more blessed to give, more than to receive].
