Acts 20:17–28

¹⁷And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called ^hthe elders of the church. ¹⁸And when they were come to him, he said unto them,

Ye know, ⁱfrom the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, ¹⁹Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me ^kby the lying in wait of the Jews: ²⁰And how ^lI kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, ^lbut have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, ^21mTestifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, ^norepentance toward God, and ⁿfaith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. ²²And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: ²³Save that ^pthe Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, ^qsaying that bonds and afflictions ^||abide me. ²⁴But ^rnone of these things move me, neither ^scount I my life dear unto myself, so that I might ^tfinish my course with joy, and ^uthe ministry, which I have received ^wof the Lord Jesus, to ^mtestify the gospel of the grace of God. ²⁵And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone ^xpreaching the kingdom of God, ^yshall see my face no more. ²⁶Wherefore I take you to record this day, that ^zI am pure from the blood of all men. ²⁷For ^aI have not shunned to declare unto you all ^bthe counsel of God. ^28cTake 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.
