Acts 20:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 20:26

24 But ^anone of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, ^bso that I may finish my race with joy, ^cand the ministry ^dwhich I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

25 “And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am ^ainnocent of the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare to you ^athe whole counsel of God.

28 ^aTherefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit ^bhas made you overseers, to shepherd the church¹ of God ^cwhich He purchased ^dwith His own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departure ^asavage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also ^afrom among yourselves men will rise up, speaking¹ perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

31 Therefore watch, and remember that ^afor three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
