34 You yourselves know that I have worked with these hands of mine to provide everything that my companions and I have needed.
35 I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way we must help the weak, remembering the words that the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.’ ”

37 They were all crying as they hugged him and kissed him goodbye.
38 They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him again. And so they went with him to the ship.
