Deeds (Act) of Apostles 20:28-38

²⁸Take ye attention to you, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set or hath put you, bishops to rule the church of God, which he purchased with his blood.

²⁹I know, that after my departing, ravening wolves shall enter into you, not sparing the flock;

³⁰and men speaking shrewd or wayward things shall rise of your-selves, that they lead away disciples after them.

³¹For which thing wake ye, holding in mind, that by three years night and day I ceased not, with tears, admon-ishing each of you.

³²And now I betake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is mighty to edify and give heritage in all that be made holy.

³³And of no man I coveted silver, and gold, either cloth,

³⁴as ye yourselves know; for to those things that were needful to me, and to these that be with me, these hands ministered.

³⁵All these things I showed to you, for so it behooveth men travailing to receive sick men, and to have mind of the word of the Lord Jesus; for he said, It is more blessful or more blessed to give, than to receive.

³⁶And when he had said these things, he kneeled, and prayed with all them.

³⁷And great weeping of all men was made; and they felled on the neck of Paul, and kissed him,

³⁸and sorrowed most in the word that he said, for they shall no more see his face. And they led him to the ship.
