Acts 20:36

Prayer

34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.

35 In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.

37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.

38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
