At Miletus: Paul speaks to the elders of the assembly he called from Ephesus, and they accompany him to the ship

밀레도에서 바울이 에베소로 사람을 보내어 청한 교회 장로들에게 말하고 배에까지 전송을 받음

Acts 20:17–38: from Miletus Paul sends to Ephesus and calls to himself the elders of the assembly. When they have come to him, he says to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews; how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus. Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there; except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me. But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God. Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more. Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men, for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood. For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears. Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing. You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me. In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” When he has spoken these things, he kneels down and prays with them all. They all weep freely, and fall on Paul’s neck and kiss him, sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompany him to the ship.

    17From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

    18When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

    19serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

    20how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

    21testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

    22Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

    23except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

    24But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

    25“Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

    26Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

    27for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

    28Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

    29For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

    30Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

    31Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

    32Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

    33I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

    34You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

    35In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

    36When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

    37They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

    38sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
