[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.
