[16] For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. [17] And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. [18] And when they were come to him, he said unto them, know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with at all seasons, [19] Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and tears, and temptations, which befell by the lying in wait of the Jews: [20] And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed and have taught publickly, and from house to house, [21] Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward Lord Jesus Christ. [22] And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall there: [23] Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide [24] But none of these things move me, life dear unto myself, so that I might finish course and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. [25] And now, behold, I know that all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom face no more. [26] to record this day, that am pure from the blood of all [27] For not shunned to declare all the counsel of God. [28] Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. [29] I know that after departing shall grievous wolves enter in among not sparing the flock. [30] Also of own selves men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. [31] Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. [32] And I commend to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able and to give an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. [33] I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. [34] ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered necessities, and with [35] I have shewed all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, more blessed to give than to receive.
