3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. WEB — Acts 20:3

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the assembly. WEB — Acts 20:17

19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews; WEB — Acts 20:19
20 how I didn't shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, WEB — Acts 20:20
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. WEB — Acts 20:21
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there; WEB — Acts 20:22
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me. WEB — Acts 20:23
24 But these things don't count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the gospel of the grace of God. WEB — Acts 20:24
25 Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. WEB — Acts 20:25
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men, WEB — Acts 20:26
27 for I didn't shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. WEB — Acts 20:27
28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood. WEB — Acts 20:28
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. WEB — Acts 20:29
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. WEB — Acts 20:30

32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. WEB — Acts 20:32
33 I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing. WEB — Acts 20:33
34 You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me. WEB — Acts 20:34
35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” WEB — Acts 20:35
36 When he had spoken these things, he kneeled down and prayed with them all. WEB — Acts 20:36
37 They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, WEB — Acts 20:37
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. They brought him on his way to the ship. WEB — Acts 20:38
