                                                                                       Acts 20:25-38 And now, behold,   I know that none of you among whom I have gone about   proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again.   Therefore   I testify to you this day that   I am innocent of the blood of all,   for   I did not shrink from declaring to you   the whole counsel of God.   Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all   the flock, in which   the Holy Spirit has made you   overseers,   to care for   the church of God, which he   obtained   with his own blood. I   know that after my departure   fierce wolves will come in among you,   not sparing the flock;   and   from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.   Therefore   be alert, remembering that   for three years I did not cease night or day   to admonish every one   with tears.   And now   I commend you to God and to   the word of his grace, which is able to   build

                                                                             Acts 20:17-24 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called   the elders of the church to come to him.   And when they came to him, he said to them:   “You yourselves know   how I lived among you the whole time   from the first day that I set foot in Asia,   serving the Lord   with all humility and with   tears and with trials that happened to me through   the plots of the Jews;   how I   did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and   teaching you in public and from house to house,   testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of   repentance toward God and of   faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.  And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained   by   the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,   except that   the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that   imprisonment and   afflictions await me.   But   I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if

                                                                                       Acts 20:7-16 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together   to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.   There were many lamps in   the upper room where we were gathered.   And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he   fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.   But Paul went down and   bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said,   “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”   And when Paul had gone up and   had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.   And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.   But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending h

                                                                                  Acts 20:1-6 After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia.   When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.   There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews   as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.   Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.  These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas,   but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.   Paul’s mission to the nations was rich, productive, dangerous, and many other things, but it was never accomplished alone.  The ministry

                                                                             Acts 19:28-41 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out,   “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”   So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and   Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's   companions in travel.   But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. And even some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater.   Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together.   Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander,   motioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.   But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice,   “Great is Artemis of the
