Acts 20:19-31

Thomson(i) 19 serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials which befel me by the insidious practices of the Jews; 20 how I have never shrunk from those things which are advantageous; from announcing to you and teaching you publicly and privately, 21 attesting both to Jews and Greeks the turning of the mind to God, and the belief in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 Now behold I am going up to Jerusalem, bound by the spirit, not knowing the things which shall befal me there, 23 save only that the Holy spirit testifieth in every city, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me. 24 But I make no account of any of these, nor is this life of mine so much my concern as to finish with joy my course; even the office which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the favour of God. 25 And now behold I know that all you among whom I have gone proclaiming the reign of God, shall no more see my face; 26 therefore I testify to you this day that I am clear from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shrunk from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore to yourselves and to the whole flock among which the holy spirit hath made you overseers to tend the congregation of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For this I know, that after my departure there will enter in among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock. 30 Yes, even from among yourselves men will start up, speaking perverse things to draw the disciples after them. 31 Watch therefore, remembering that for the space of three years I did not cease, night nor day, with tears to warn every one.
