Acts 20:28–38

28 cTake heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all dthe flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you eoverseers, dto feed the church of God, which he hath fpurchased gwith his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall hgrievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also iof your own selves shall men arise, speaking kperverse things, to draw away ldisciples after them. 31 Therefore mwatch, and remember, that by the space of nthree years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I ocommend you to God, and to pthe word of his grace, which is able to qbuild you up, and to give you ran inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 33 sI have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or tapparel. 34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that uthese hands have ministered unto my necessities, and xto them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that sso labouring ye ought to ysupport the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he zkneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and afell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words bwhich he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they caccompanied him unto the ship.
