Acts:20:18-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when they were come (
5633 )
to him ,
he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Ye know (
5736 ),
from the first day that I came (
5627 )
into Asia ,
after what manner I have been (
5633 )
with you at all seasons ,
*
Serving (
5723 )
the Lord with all humility of mind ,
and with many tears ,
and temptations ,
which befell (
5631 )
me by the lying in wait of the Jews :
*
And how I kept back (
5668 )
nothing that was profitable (
5723 )
unto you ,
but have shewed (
5658 )
you ,
and have taught (
5658 )
you publickly ,
and from house to house ,
*
Testifying (
5740 )
both to the Jews ,
and also to the Greeks ,
repentance toward God ,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
And now ,
behold (
5628 ),
I go (
5736 )
bound (
5772 )
in the spirit unto Jerusalem ,
not knowing (
5761 )
the things that shall befall (
5694 )
me there :
*
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth (
5736 )
in every city ,
saying (
5723 )
that bonds and afflictions abide (
5719 )
me .
*
But none of these things move me (
5731 ),
neither count I (
5719 )
my life dear unto myself ,
so that I might finish (
5658 )
my course with joy ,
and the ministry ,
which I have received (
5627 )
of the Lord Jesus ,
to testify (
5664 )
the gospel of the grace of God .
*
And now ,
behold (
5628 ),
I know (
5758 )
that ye all ,
among whom I have gone (
5627 )
preaching (
5723 )
the kingdom of God ,
shall see (
5695 )
my face no more .
*
Wherefore I take you to record (
5736 )
this day ,
that I am pure from the blood of all men .
*
For I have not shunned (
5668 )
to declare (
5658 )
unto you all the counsel of God .
*
Take heed (
5720 )
therefore unto yourselves ,
and to all the flock ,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made (
5639 )
you overseers ,
to feed (
5721 )
the church of God ,
which he hath purchased (
5668 )
with his own blood .
*
For I know (
5758 )
this ,
that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in (
5695 )
among you ,
not sparing (
5740 )
the flock .
*
Also of your own selves shall men arise (
5698 ),
speaking (
5723 )
perverse things (
5772 ),
to draw away (
5721 )
disciples after them .
*
Therefore watch (
5720 ),
and remember (
5723 ),
that by the space of three years I ceased (
5668 )
not to warn (
5723 )
every one night and day with tears .
*
And now ,
brethren ,
I commend (
5731 )
you to God ,
and to the word of his grace ,
which is able (
5740 )
to build you up (
5658 ),
and to give (
5629 )
you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (
5772 ).
*
I have coveted (
5656 )
no mans silver ,
or gold ,
or apparel .
*
Yea ,
ye yourselves know (
5719 ),
that these hands have ministered (
5656 )
unto my necessities ,
and to them that were (
5752 )
with me .
*
I have shewed (
5656 )
you all things ,
how that so labouring (
5723 )
ye ought (
5748 )
to support (
5738 )
the weak (
5723 ),
and to remember (
5721 )
the words of the Lord Jesus ,
how he said (
5627 ),
It is (
5748 )
more blessed to give (
5721 )
than to receive (
5721 ).
