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 Só sei que, em todas as cidades, o Espírito Santo me avisa que prisões e sofrimentos me esperam.

24 Todavia, não me importo, nem considero a minha vida de valor algum para mim mesmo, se tão somente puder terminar a corrida e completar o ministério que o Senhor Jesus me confiou, de testemunhar do evangelho da graça de Deus.

25 “Agora sei que nenhum de vocês, entre os quais passei pregando o Reino, verá novamente a minha face.

26 Portanto, eu declaro hoje que estou inocente do sangue de todos.

27 Pois não deixei de proclamar a vocês toda a vontade de Deus.
