24 I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.
25 “And now, I know that none of you among whom I was preaching the kingdom of God will ever see me again.
26 So today I tell you that if any of you should be lost, I am not responsible,
27 because I have told you everything God wants you to know.
28 Be careful for yourselves and for all the people the Holy Spirit has given to you to oversee. You must be like shepherds to the church of God, which he bought with the death of his own son.
29 I know that after I leave, some people will come like wild wolves and try to destroy the flock.
30 Also, some from your own group will rise up and twist the truth and will lead away followers after them.
