Acts 20:24–28

24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;n my only aim is to finish the raceo and complete the taskp the Lord Jesus has given meq—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.r

25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdoms will ever see me again.t 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.u 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.v 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flockw of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.x Be shepherds of the church of God,a y which he boughtz with his own blood.b a
