Acts 20:23

---

← Acts 20:22	Acts 20:23 (KJV)	Acts 20:24 →
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:	Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.	But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
