Bible: Acts 20:20-31

20:20 You know that I did not hold back from proclaiming 1  to you anything that would be helpful, 2  and from teaching you publicly 3  and from house to house, 20:21 testifying 4  to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. 5  20:22 And now, 6  compelled 7  by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem 8  without knowing what will happen to me there, 9  20:23 except 10  that the Holy Spirit warns 11  me in town after town 12  that 13  imprisonment 14  and persecutions 15  are waiting for me. 20:24 But I do not consider my life 16  worth anything 17  to myself, so that 18  I may finish my task 19  and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news 20  of God’s grace.

20:25 “And now 21  I know that none 22  of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom 23  will see me 24  again. 20:26 Therefore I declare 25  to you today that I am innocent 26  of the blood of you all. 27  20:27 For I did not hold back from 28  announcing 29  to you the whole purpose 30  of God. 20:28 Watch out for 31  yourselves and for all the flock of which 32  the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, 33  to shepherd the church of God 34  that he obtained 35  with the blood of his own Son. 36  20:29 I know that after I am gone 37  fierce wolves 38  will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 20:30 Even from among your own group 39  men 40  will arise, teaching perversions of the truth 41  to draw the disciples away after them. 20:31 Therefore be alert, 42  remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning 43  each one of you with tears.
