| 20:1 | And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. |
| 20:2 | And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, |
| 20:3 | And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia. |
| 20:4 | And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. |
| 20:5 | These going before tarried for us at Troas. |
| 20:6 | And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. |
| 20:7 | And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. |
| 20:8 | And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. |
| 20:9 | And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. |
| 20:10 | And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. |
| 20:11 | When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. |
| 20:12 | And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. |
| 20:13 | And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. |
| 20:14 | And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. |
| 20:15 | And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. |
| 20:16 | For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. |
| 20:17 | And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. |
| 20:18 | And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, |
| 20:19 | Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: |
| 20:20 | And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, |
| 20:21 | Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 20:22 | And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: |
| 20:23 | Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. |
| 20:24 | But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. |
| 20:25 | And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. |
| 20:26 | Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. |
| 20:27 | For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. |
| 20:28 | Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. |
| 20:28 | 聖靈立你們作全群的監督、你們就當為自己謹慎、也為全群謹慎、牧養 神的教會、就是他用自己血所買來的。〔或作救贖的〕 |
| 20:28 | 圣灵立你们作全群的监督，你们就当为自己谨慎，也为全群谨慎，牧养神的教会，就是他用自己血所买来的。（或作救赎） |
| act:13:2 | As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. |
| 1co:12:8 | For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; |
| 1co:12:9 | To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; |
| luk:10:3 | Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. |
| act:20:29 | For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. |
| phl:1:1 | Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: |
| 1ti:3:1 | This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. |
| 1ti:3:2 | A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; |
| tit:1:7 | For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; |
| 1pe:2:25 | For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. |
| col:2:8 | Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. |
| 1ti:4:16 | Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. |
| jhn:21:16 | He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. |
| 1pe:5:2 | Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; |
| 1co:1:2 | Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: |
| 1co:10:32 | Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: |
| gal:1:13 | For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: |
| eph:1:7 | In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
| heb:9:12 | Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. |
| heb:9:13 | For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: |
| heb:9:14 | How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? |
| 1pe:1:18 | Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; |
| 1pe:1:19 | But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: |
| 1jn:1:7 | But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. |
| 2pe:2:1 | But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. |
| rev:5:9 | And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; |
| COBL | |
| 20:29 | For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. |
| 20:30 | Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. |
| 20:31 | Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. |
| 20:32 | And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. |
| 20:33 | I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. |
| 20:34 | Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. |
| 20:35 | I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. |
| 20:36 | And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. |
| 20:37 | And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, |
| 20:38 | Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship. |
