Acts 20:31
Verse 31 of 38. The 20th of 28 chapters in Acts.
27For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Matthew Henry on Acts 20:31
He preached repentance as God's great command (ch. xvii. 30), which we must obey—that men should repent, and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance (so he explains it, ch. xxvi. 20); and he preached it as Christ's gift, in order to the remission of sins (ch. v. 31), and directed people to look up to him for it. [2.] Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
