Acts 20:21 in context
19Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

23Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
