Acts 20:26

Read in context

Acts 20:24–28 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.

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

27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.

28 Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
