Acts 20:30-38
20:30 Even from among your own group
men
will arise, teaching perversions of the truth
to draw the disciples away after them.
20:31 Therefore be alert,
remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning
each one of you with tears.
20:32 And now I entrust
you to God and to the message
of his grace. This message
is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
20:33 I have desired
no one’s silver or gold or clothing.
20:34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine
provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.
20:35 By all these things,
I have shown you that by working in this way we must help
the weak,
and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
20:36 When he had said these things, he knelt down with them all and prayed.
20:37 They all began to weep loudly, and hugged Paul and kissed him,
20:38 especially saddened by what he had said, that they were not going to see him again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
