25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom(A) will ever see me again.(B) 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.(C) 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.(D) 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock(E) of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.(F) Be shepherds of the church of God,[a](G) which he bought(H) with his own blood.[b](I) 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves(J) will come in among you and will not spare the flock.(K) 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples(L) after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years(M) I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.(N)
32 “Now I commit you to God(O) and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance(P) among all those who are sanctified.(Q) 33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.(R) 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.(S) 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support 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 kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
