17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
