Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Acts 20:20-27

20I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
21testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
23I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
24But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus — the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
25Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
26Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
27For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
