I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may 

finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has 

given me. The task of testifying to the Gospel of God's 

grace. Now I know that none of you whom I have gone about 

preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore I 

declare to you that I am innocent of the blood of all men 

for I have not hesitated to proclaim the whole will of 

God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock to 

which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be 

shepherds of the church, of God, which He bought with His 

own blood. I know that when I leave savage wolves will 

come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from 

your own number men will arise and distort the truth in 

order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your 

guard. We are not the wolves at the gate, we are the ones 

who face them.
