Deeds (Act) of Apostles 20:28-38

²⁸Take ye attention to you(rselves), and to all (of) the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set you, or hath put you, (as) bishops (or among whom the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers), to rule the church of God, which he purchased with his blood.

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

³⁰and men speaking shrewd or wayward things shall rise (up out) of yourselves (or and men speaking depraved things shall rise up from among you), (so) that they lead away (the) disciples after them.

³¹For which thing wake ye, holding in mind, (or For which thing be on watch, keeping in mind), that by three years night and day I ceased not, (along) with (my) tears, admonishing 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. (And now I deliver you unto God and unto the word of his grace, that is mighty to edify and to give you an inheritance among all those who be made holy.)

³³And of no man I coveted silver, and gold, either cloth (or cloak),

³⁴as ye yourselves know; for to those things that were needful to me, and to these that be with me, these hands ministered. (as you yourselves know; for my own hands served, or worked, to acquire those things that were needed by me, and by those who were with me.)

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 to give, than to receive, or It is more blessed to give, more than to receive. (I showed all of these things to you, because it behooveth all of us who labour, to accept, or to help, the frail or the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus; for he said, It is more blessed to give, than to receive.)

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

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

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