- It is written: "And now, behold, I go bound
in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall
befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every
city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
- But none of these things move me, neither count I my life
dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy,
and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the gospel of the grace of God.
- And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have
gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from
the blood of all men.
- For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
counsel of God.
- Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves
enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
- Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and
remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn
every one night and day with tears." ( Acts
20:22-31KJV)."
