25 “And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. 26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am (A)innocent[a] of the blood of all men. 27 For I have not [b]shunned to declare to you (B)the whole counsel of God. 28 (C)Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit (D)has made you overseers, to shepherd the church [c]of God (E)which He purchased (F)with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure (G)savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also (H)from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking [d]perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that (I)for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
32 “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and (J)to the word of His grace, which is able (K)to build you up and give you (L)an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 [e]Yes, you yourselves know (M)that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. 35 I have shown you in every way, (N)by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

Death of Elisha
14 Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, (A)the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!”
15 And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So he took himself a bow and some arrows. 16 Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So he put his hand on it, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. 17 And he said, “Open the east window”; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot”; and he shot. And he said, “The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; for you must strike the Syrians at (B)Aphek till you have destroyed them.” 18 Then he said, “Take the arrows”; so he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; so he struck three times, and stopped. 19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it! (C)But now you will strike Syria only three times.”
