20 I always did what was best for you. I told you the Good News about Jesus in public before the people and also taught in your homes.
21 I told everyone—Jewish and non-Jewish people—to change and turn to God. I told them all to believe in our Lord Jesus.
22 “But now I must obey the Spirit and go to Jerusalem. I don’t know what will happen to me there.
23 I know only that in every city the Holy Spirit tells me that troubles and even jail wait for me.
24 I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.
25 “And now listen to me. I know that none of you will ever see me again. All the time I was with you, I told you the Good News about God’s kingdom.
26 So today I can tell you one thing that I am sure of: God will not blame me if some of you are not saved.
