Acts 20:36 - Barnes' Notes

Acts 20:36

34 Yes, you yourselves know ^athat these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.

35 I have shown you in every way, ^aby laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

36 And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

37 Then they all ^awept freely, and ^bfell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

38 sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
