when{G5613} they were come{G3854}{(G5633)} to{G4314} him{G846}, he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Ye{G5210} know{G1987}{(G5736)}, from{G575} the first{G4413} day{G2250} that{G575}{G3739} I came{G1910}{(G5627)} into{G1519} Asia{G773}, after what manner{G4459} I have been{G1096}{(G5633)} with{G3326} you{G5216} at all{G3956} seasons{G5550}, 19 Serving{G1398}{(G5723)} the Lord{G2962} with{G3326} all{G3956} humility of mind{G5012}, and{G2532} with many{G4183} tears{G1144}, and{G2532} temptations{G3986}, which{G3588} befell{G4819}{(G5631)} me{G3427} by{G1722} the lying in wait{G1917} of the Jews{G2453}: 20 And how{G5613} I kept back{G5288}{(G5668)} nothing{G3762} that was profitable{G4851}{(G5723)} unto you, but{G3361} have shewed{G312}{(G5658)} you{G5213}, and{G2532} have taught{G1321}{(G5658)} you{G5209} publickly{G1219}, and{G2532} from{G2596} house to house{G3624}, 21 Testifying{G1263}{(G5740)} both{G5037} to the Jews{G2453}, and also{G2532} to the Greeks{G1672}, repentance{G3341} toward{G1519} God{G2316}, and{G2532} faith{G4102} toward{G1519} our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}. 22 And{G2532} now{G3568}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, I{G1473} go{G4198}{(G5736)} bound{G1210}{(G5772)} in the spirit{G4151} unto{G1519} Jerusalem{G2419}, not{G3361} knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} the things that shall befall{G4876}{(G5694)} me{G3427}

unto myself{G1683}, so{G5613} that I might finish{G5048}{(G5658)} my{G3450} course{G1408} with{G3326} joy{G5479}, and{G2532} the ministry{G1248}, which{G3739} I have received{G2983}{(G5627)} of{G3844}

more{G3765}. 26 Wherefore{G1352} I take{G3143} you{G5213} to record{G3143}{(G5736)} this{G1722}{G4594} day{G2250}, that{G3754} I{G1473} am pure{G2513} from{G575} the blood{G129} of all{G3956} men. 27 For{G1063} I have{G5288} not{G3756}{G3361} shunned{G5288}{(G5668)} to declare{G312}{(G5658)} unto you{G5213} all{G3956} the counsel{G1012} of God{G2316}. 28 Take heed{G4337}{(G5720)} therefore{G3767} unto yourselves{G1438}, and{G2532} to all{G3956} the flock{G4168}, over{G1722} the which{G3739} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} hath made{G5087}{(G5639)} you{G5209} overseers{G1985}, to feed{G4165}{(G5721)} the church{G1577} of God{G2316}, which{G3739} he hath purchased{G4046}{(G5668)} with{G1223} his own{G2398} blood{G129}. 29 For{G1063} I{G1473} know{G1492}{(G5758)} this{G5124}, that{G3754} after{G3326} my{G3450} departing{G867} shall grievous{G926} wolves{G3074} enter in{G1525}{(G5695)} among{G1519} you{G5209}, not{G3361} sparing{G5339}{(G5740)} the flock{G4168}. 30 Also{G2532} of{G1537} your{G5216} own selves{G846} shall{G450} men{G435} arise{G450}{(G5698)}, speaking{G2980}{(G5723)} perverse things{G1294}{(G5772)}, to draw away{G645}{(G5721)} disciples{G3101} after{G3694} them{G846}. 31 Therefore{G1352} watch{G1127}{(G5720)}, and remember{G3421}{(G5723)}, that{G3754} by the space of three years{G5148} I ceased{G3973}{(G5668)} not{G3756} to warn{G3560}{(G5723)} every{G1538} one{G1520} night{G3571} and{G2532} day{G2250} with{G3326} tears{G1144}. 32 And{G2532} now{G3569}, brethren{G80}, I commend{G3908}{(G5731)} you{G5209} to God{G2316}, and{G2532} to the word{G3056} of his{G846} grace{G5485}, which{G3588} is able{G1410}{(G5740)} to build you up{G2026}{(G5658)}, and{G2532} to give{G1325}{(G5629)} you{G5213} an inheritance{G2817} among{G1722} all{G3956} them which are sanctified{G37}{(G5772)}. 33 I have coveted{G1937}{(G5656)} no man's{G3762} silver{G694}, or{G2228} gold{G5553}, or{G2228} apparel{G2441}. 34 Yea{G1161}, ye yourselves{G846} know{G1097}{(G5719)}, that{G3754} these{G3778} hands{G5495} have ministered{G5256}{(G5656)} unto my{G3450} necessities{G5532}, and{G2532} to them that were{G5607}{(G5752)} with{G3326} me{G1700}. 35 I have shewed{G5263}{(G5656)} you{G5213} all things{G3956}, how that{G3754} so{G3779} labouring{G2872}{(G5723)} ye ought{G1163}{(G5748)} to support{G482}{(G5738)} the weak{G770}{(G5723)}, and{G5037} to remember{G3421}{(G5721)} the words{G3056} of the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424}, how{G3754} he{G846} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, It is{G2076}{(G5748)} more{G3123} blessed{G3107} to give{G1325}{(G5721)} than{G2228} to receive{G2983}{(G5721)}.
