Acts 20:17–27 · BSB
20:17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
20:18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
20:19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
20:20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
20:21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
20:23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
20:24 But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
20:25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
20:26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
20:27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
