Living Bible
23 except that the Holy Spirit has told me in city after city that jail and suffering lie ahead. 24 But life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.
25 “And now I know that none of you among whom I went about teaching the Kingdom will ever see me again. 26 Let me say plainly that no man’s blood can be laid at my door, 27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring all God’s message to you.
28 “And now beware! Be sure that you feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his blood—for the Holy Spirit is holding you responsible as overseers. 29 I know full well that after I leave you, false teachers, like vicious wolves, will appear among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Some of you yourselves will distort the truth in order to draw a following. 31 Watch out! Remember the three years I was with you—my constant watchcare over you night and day and my many tears for you.
32 “And now I entrust you to God and his care and to his wonderful words that are able to build your faith and give you all the inheritance of those who are set apart for himself.
33 “I have never been hungry for money or fine clothing— 34 you know that these hands of mine worked to pay my own way and even to supply the needs of those who were with me. 35 And I was a constant example to you in helping the poor; for I remembered the words of the Lord Jesus, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 When he had finished speaking, he knelt and prayed with them, 37 and they wept aloud as they embraced him in farewell, 38 sorrowing most of all because he said that he would never see them again. Then they accompanied him down to the ship.

New International Version
23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me(A) that prison and hardships are facing me.(B) 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;(C) my only aim is to finish the race(D) and complete the task(E) the Lord Jesus has given me(F)—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.(G)
25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom(H) will ever see me again.(I) 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.(J) 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.(K) 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock(L) of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.(M) Be shepherds of the church of God,[a](N) which he bought(O) with his own blood.[b](P) 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves(Q) will come in among you and will not spare the flock.(R) 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples(S) after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years(T) I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.(U)
32 “Now I commit you to God(V) and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance(W) among all those who are sanctified.(X) 33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.(Y) 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.(Z) 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.(AA) 37 They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him.(AB) 38 What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again.(AC) Then they accompanied him to the ship.(AD)
