Acts 20:28-30
New Testament for Everyone
Watch out for yourselves, the flock and the wolves
28 “Watch out for yourselves,” Paul continued, “and for the whole flock, in which the holy spirit has appointed you as guardians, to feed the church of God, which he purchased with his very own blood. 29 I know that fierce wolves will come in after I am gone, and they won’t spare the flock. 30 Yes, even from among yourselves people will arise, saying things which will distort the truth, and they will draw the disciples away after them.
