New Testament

Acts 20:21-31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

21. solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22. And now, behold, bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

23. except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24. But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.

25. "And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face.

26. Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

27. For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God.

28. Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

29. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

30. and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31. Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.
