Acts 20:37

Paul
GriefLove for others

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.’”

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

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.
