Acts 20:25-36
“ And now I know that none of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom will see me again.Therefore I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of you all.For I did not hold back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.Watch out for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son.I know that after I am gone fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them.Therefore be alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.And now I entrust you to God and to the message of his grace. This message is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.I have desired no one’s silver or gold or clothing.You yourselves know that these hands of mine provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we 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.’”When he had said these things, he knelt down with them all and prayed.

Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community.”So Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the LORD commanded, by the authority of Moses.
