18and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye -- ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;
19serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];
20how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,
21testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22`And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,
23save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;
24but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.
