And when they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia,
19 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate et lacrimis et temptationibus quae mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Iudaeorum
19
serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;
20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium quo minus adnuntiarem vobis et docerem vos publice et per domos
20
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house,
21 testificans Iudaeis atque gentilibus in Deum paenitentiam et fidem in Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum
21
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound in the Spirit, not knowing what shall befall me there;
23 nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates protestatur mihi dicens quoniam vincula et tribulationes me manent
23
except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.
24 sed nihil horum vereor nec facio animam pretiosiorem quam me dummodo consummem cursum meum et ministerium quod accepi a Domino Iesu testificari evangelium gratiae Dei
24
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
25 et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes per quos transivi praedicans regnum Dei
25
And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more.
26 quapropter contestor vos hodierna die quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium
26
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you,
27 non enim subterfugi quo minus adnuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis
27
for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 adtendite vobis et universo gregi in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos regere ecclesiam Dei quam adquisivit sanguine suo
28
Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.
29 ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi graves in vos non parcentes gregi
29
I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;
30 et ex vobis ipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa ut abducant discipulos post se
30
and from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 propter quod vigilate memoria retinentes quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum
31
Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears.
32 et nunc commendo vos Deo et verbo gratiae ipsius qui potens est aedificare et dare hereditatem in sanctificatis omnibus
32
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33
I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.

34
You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.
35 omnia ostendi vobis quoniam sic laborantes oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Iesu quoniam ipse dixit beatius est magis dare quam accipere
35
In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
36 et cum haec dixisset positis genibus suis cum omnibus illis oravit
36
And when he had spoken thus, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 magnus autem fletus factus est omnium et procumbentes super collum Pauli osculabantur eum
37
And they all wept and embraced Paul and kissed him,
38 dolentes maxime in verbo quo dixerat quoniam amplius faciem eius non essent visuri et deducebant eum ad navem
38
sorrowing most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him to the ship.
