Acts 20:22-27
English Standard Version
22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained (A)by[a] the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that (B)the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that (C)imprisonment and (D)afflictions await me. 24 But (E)I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only (F)I may finish my course and (G)the ministry (H)that I received from the Lord Jesus, (I)to testify to (J)the gospel of (K)the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, (L)I know that none of you among whom I have gone about (M)proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26 Therefore (N)I testify to you this day that (O)I am innocent of the blood of all, 27 for (P)I did not shrink from declaring to you (Q)the whole counsel of God.

22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem,(A) not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me(B) that prison and hardships are facing me.(C) 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;(D) my only aim is to finish the race(E) and complete the task(F) the Lord Jesus has given me(G)—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.(H)
25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom(I) will ever see me again.(J) 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.(K) 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.(L)

Acts 20:22-27
King James Version
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
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.
