Acts 20:26-31
Authorized (King James) Version
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.

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.
