Acts 20:24-26
Amplified Bible
24 But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].
25 “And now, listen carefully: I know that none of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, [a]will see me again. 26 For that reason I testify to you on this [our parting] day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.
