26
Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men.
27
For I have not spread to declare unto you all, the counsel of God.
28
Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29
I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30
And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31
Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day.
32
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33
I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold or apparel, as
34
You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
36
And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
