Acts 20:28-38

²⁸Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord, which he purchased with his own blood.

²⁹For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

³⁰And from among yourselves will men arise speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

³¹Therefore be watchful, and remember that for the space of three years, night and day, I ceased not to warn every one with tears.

³²And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.

³³I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

³⁴Ye yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

³⁵In all ways I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

³⁶And having thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

³⁷And they all wept sorely, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him;

³⁸sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they were to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
