Acts:20:25-38

*
And now ,
behold ,
I know that ye all ,
among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God ,
shall see my face no more .
*
Wherefore I take you to record this day ,
that I am pure from the blood of all men .
*
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God .
*
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 .
*
For I know this ,
that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you ,
not sparing the flock .
*
Also of your own selves shall men arise ,
speaking perverse things ,
to draw away disciples after them .
*
Therefore watch ,
and remember ,
that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears .
*
And now ,
brethren ,
I commend you to God ,
and to the word of his grace ,
which is able to build you up ,
and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified .
*
I have coveted no man '
s silver ,
or gold ,
or apparel .
*
Yea ,
ye yourselves know ,
that these hands have ministered unto my necessities ,
and to them that were with me .
*
I have shewed you all things ,
how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak ,
and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus ,
how he said ,
It is more blessed to give than to receive .
*
And when he had thus spoken ,
he kneeled down ,
and prayed with them all .
*
And they all wept sore ,
and fell on Paul '
s neck ,
and kissed him ,
*
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake ,
that they should see his face no more .
And they accompanied him unto the ship .
