24But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
25Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.
26So I declare to you today that I am not responsible if anyone is lost.
27I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.
28Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.
29I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.
