“ And now I know that none of you will ever see my face again— everyone I went about preaching the kingdom to.Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone’s blood,for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock that the Holy Spirit has appointed you to as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.And men will rise up from your own number with deviant doctrines to lure the disciples into following them.Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.“ And now I commit you to God and to the message of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.You yourselves know that these hands have provided for my needs and for those who were with me.In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”After he said this, he knelt down and prayed with all of them.

Holy Father, protect them by Your name that You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are one.While I was with them, I was protecting them by Your name that You have given Me. I guarded them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.Now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have My joy completed in them.
