Acts 20:22-32

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. ^28 (R)Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all ^(S)the flock, in which ^(T)the Holy Spirit has made you ^(U)overseers, ^(V)to care for ^(W)the church of God,^[b] which he ^(X)obtained ^(Y)with his own blood.^{[c] 29} I ^(Z)know that after my departure ^(AA)fierce wolves will come in among you, ^(AB)not sparing the flock; ³⁰ and ^(AC)from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore ^(AD)be alert, remembering that ^(AE)for three years I did not cease night or day ^(AF)to admonish every one ^(AG)with tears. ³² And now ^(AH)I commend you to God and to ^(AI)the word of his grace, which is able to ^(AJ)build you up and to give you ^(AK)the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
