Acts 20:28-38

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

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

³⁰Also from your own selves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

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

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

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

³⁴And ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.

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

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

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

³⁸Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
