1599 Geneva Bible
27 [a]For I have kept nothing back, but have showed you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Overseers to [b]feed the Church of God which [c]he hath purchased with [d]that his own blood.
29 [e]For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
