18 When they arrived, he spoke to them. "You know how I lived the whole time I was with you," he said. "From the first day I came into Asia Minor,
19 I was free of pride. I served the Lord with tears. I served him even though I was greatly tested by the evil plans of the Jews.
20 You know I haven't let anyone keep me from preaching anything that would be helpful to you. I have taught you in public and from house to house.
21 I have told both Jews and Greeks that they must turn away from their sins to God. They must have faith in our Lord Jesus.
22 "Now I am going to Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit compels me. I don't know what will happen to me there.
23 I only know that in every city the Spirit warns me. He tells me that I will face prison and suffering.
24 But my life means nothing to me. I only want to finish the race. I want to complete the work the Lord Jesus has given me. He wants me to give witness to others about the good news of God's grace.
