[verse 16] Sothli Poul purposide for to schippe ouer to Ephesi, lest ony dwelling were maad to him in Asie; forsoth he hiȝede, if it were pos|sible to him, that he schulde make the day of Pentecoste at Jerusalem. [verse 17] Fro Mi|lete sothli he sendynge to Ephesy, clepide the more thorw birthe of the chirche. [verse 18] Which whanne thei camen to him, and weren to gidere, he seide to hem, Ȝe witen fro the firste day, in which I cam into Asie, hou with ȝou by ech tyme I was, [verse 19] seruynge to the Lord with al mekenesse, and myldnesse, and teeris, and tempta|ciouns, that felden to me of aspyingis of [verse 20] Jewis; how I withdrowȝ noȝt of profit|able thingis to ȝou, that I telde not to ȝou, and tauȝte ȝou openly, and bi housis; [verse 21] witnessinge to Jewis and hethene men `into God penaunce, and feith into oure Lord Jhesu Crist. [verse 22] And `now lo! I boundun in spirit, go into Jerusalem; what thingis in it `ben to comynge to [verse 23] me vnknowynge, no but that the Hooly Gost by alle citees witnessith to me, sey|inge, for bondis and tribulaciouns at Je|rusalem `dwellen to me. [verse 24] But I schame, `or drede, no thing of these, nether I make my `soule, that is, lyf, preciouser than my silf, `the while I ende, `or ful|fille, my cours, and the mynysterie of the word, the which I receyuede of the Lord Jhesu, for to witnesse the gospel of the grace of God. [verse 25] And now lo! I woot, for ȝe schulen no more se my face, alle ȝe by whom I passide, prechinge the kingdom of God. [verse 26] Wherfore I witnesse ȝou this day, for I am clene of the blood, `or synne, of alle men. [verse 27] Forsoth I fleiȝ not awey, that I tauȝte, `or teelde, not to ȝou al the councel of God. [verse 28] Take tent to ȝou, and to al the folk, in which the
Hooly Gost sette ȝou bischopis, for to reule the chirche of God, which he pur|chaside with his blood. [verse 29] I woot for aftir my departyng, rauyschinge wolues schulen entre in to ȝou, `not sparinge the flok; [verse 30] and of ȝou silf men spekinge weyward thingis schulen ryse, that thei leden dis|ciplis aftir hem. [verse 31] For which thing wake ȝe, holdinge in mynde that by thre ȝeer nyȝt and day I ceesside not with teeris monestinge ech of ȝou. [verse 32] And now I bitake ȝou to God and to the word of his grace, that is myȝty for to edifie and ȝyue heri|tage in alle maad hooly. [verse 33] Forsoth of no man I coueitide siluer, and gold, or cloth, [verse 34] as ȝe silf witen; but to tho thingis that weren nede to me, and to these that ben with me, these hondis mynistriden. [verse 35] Alle these thingis I schewide to ȝou, for so it bihoueth men trauelinge for to resceyue the syke, and for to haue mynde of the word of the Lord Jhesu; for he seide, It is more blessid for to ȝyue, more than for to receyue. [verse 36] And whanne he hadde seide these thingis, `his knees putt, he preiede with alle hem. [verse 37] Sothli greet wep|yng of alle men was maad; and thei fallinge in the necke of Poul, kisseden [verse 38] him, sorwinge moost in the word that he seide, for thei weren no more to se|ynge his face. And thei ledden him to the schip.
