25And now, behold, f I know that none of you among whom I have gone about g proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26Therefore h I testify to you this day that i I am innocent of the blood of all, 27for j I did not shrink from declaring to you k the whole counsel of God. 28 l Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all m the flock, in which n the Holy Spirit has made you o overseers, p to care for q the church of God, [4] which he r obtained s with his own blood. [5] 29I r know that after my departure t fierce wolves will come in among you, u not sparing the flock; 30and v from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31Therefore w be alert, remembering that x for three years I did not cease night or day y to admonish every one z with tears. 32And now a I commend you to God and to b the word of his grace, which is able to c build you up and to give you d the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 e I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 f You yourselves know that g these hands ministered to my necessities and h to those who were with me.
