20 how I withdrew not or nought of profitable things to you, that I told not to you, and taught you openly, and by houses; (how I kept nothing profitable from you, yea, that I did not tell you, but rather, I taught you openly, or in public, and also in your homes;)
21 and I witnessed to Jews and to heathen men penance into God, and faith into our Lord Jesus Christ. (and I testified to Jews and to Gentiles alike, the need for repentance unto God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.)
22 And now lo! I am bound in spirit, and go into Jerusalem; and I know not what things shall come to me in it,
23 no but that the Holy Ghost by all cities witnesseth to me, and saith, that bonds and tribulations at Jerusalem abide me. (except that the Holy Spirit in every city testifieth to me, that bondage, or imprisonment, and troubles await me in Jerusalem.)
24 But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end, or fulfill, my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God. (But I fear none of that, nor do I make my life of any great value, I only desire that I fulfill my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, yea, to testify to the Gospel, or the Good News, of the grace of God.)
25 And now lo! I know, that ye shall no more see my face, all ye by which I passed (or all ye of whom I have been among), preaching the kingdom of God.
26 Wherefore I witness to you this day (or And so I testify to you this day), that I am clean of the blood of all men.
27 For I fled not away or For I flew not away, that I told not to you all the counsel of God. (For I did not fly away, or hold anything back, so that I did not tell you all of God’s plans.)
28 Take ye attention to you(rselves), and to all (of) the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set you, or hath put you, (as) bishops (or among whom the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers), to rule the church of God, which he purchased with his blood.
29 I know, that after my departing, ravening (or snatching) wolves shall enter into you, not sparing the flock;
30 and men speaking shrewd or wayward things shall rise (up out) of yourselves (or and men speaking depraved things shall rise up from among you), (so) that they lead away (the) disciples after them.
31 For which thing wake ye, holding in mind, (or For which thing be on watch, keeping in mind), that by three years night and day I ceased not, (along) with (my) tears, admonishing each of you.
