Acts 20:33-38 ▼

33 I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes.

34 You yourselves know that these hands served my own needs and the men who were with me.

35 In everything I showed you that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

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

37 And they all began to weep aloud and embraced Paul, and repeatedly kissed him,

38 grieving especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship.
