24But I count myself as nothing; nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, so that I may complete my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear solemn testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.
25“And now behold, now I know that you all, among whom I have passed through preaching the kingdom of God, will no longer see my face.
26Therefore I testify to you this very day, that I am innocent of all blood.
27For I did not draw back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of the Lord, and of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
29For I know this, that savage wolves will come in after my departure, not sparing the flock.
