Read in context

Acts 20:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
