Atos 20:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:25

And now behold
This is not only a note of asseveration, but of attention, stirring up to observe what is here asserted:

I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of
God, shall see my face no more;
the sense is, that none of them should ever see him again, none of the churches of Asia, or the members of them; among whom he had been some years preaching the Gospel, the things concerning the Messiah, his kingdom and glory, and the meetness of the saints for, and their right unto the heavenly inheritance, prepared by God, and given by him to all that love him: Beza's ancient copy reads, "the kingdom of Jesus": this the apostle knew by divine revelation, by the same spirit in which he was going bound to Jerusalem, though he knew not whether he should die there or elsewhere; however, he knew, and was persuaded, he should visit these parts no more.

Atos 20:25 In-Context

23 senão o que o Espírito Santo me testifica, de cidade em cidade, dizendo que me esperam prisões e tribulações.

24 mas em nada tenho a minha vida como preciosa para mim, contando que complete a minha carreira e o ministério que recebi do Senhor Jesus, para dar testemunho do evangelho da graça de Deus.

25 E eis agora, sei que nenhum de vós, por entre os quais passei pregando o reino de Deus, jamais tornará a ver o meu rosto.

26 Portanto, no dia de hoje, vos protesto que estou limpo do sangue de todos.

27 Porque não me esquivei de vos anunciar todo o conselho de Deus.
