Acts 20:19-31

Murdock(i) 19 laboring for God, in great humility, and with tears, amid the trials which beset me from the plottings of Jews: 20 and I shunned not that which was advantageous to your souls, that I might preach to you, and teach in the streets and in houses, 21 while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah. 22 And now I am bound in spirit, and I go to Jerusalem; and I know not what will befall me there; 23 except that the Holy Spirit in every city, testifieth to me and saith: Bonds and afflictions await thee. 24 But my life is accounted by me as nothing, so that I may but finish my course, and the ministration which I have received from our Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, I know that ye will see my face no more, all of you among whom I have travelled and preached the kingdom of God. 26 I therefore protest to you, this day, that I am pure from the blood of you all. 27 For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will of God. 28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit hath established you bishops; that ye feed the church of God, which he hath acquired by his blood. 29 For I know, that after I am gone, fierce wolves will come in among you, and will have no mercy on the flock. 30 And also, from among yourselves, there will rise up men speaking perverse things, that they may turn away the disciples to go after them. 31 Therefore be ye vigilant; and remember, that for three years I ceased not to admonish each one of you, by day and by night, with tears.
