In his final address to the elders from Ephesus, he said: “I do not make my soul of any account as dear to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received of the Lord Jesus. ”
Kad viņš pēdējo reizi uzrunāja Efesas draudzes vecākos, viņš teica: ” Pat mana dvēsele man nav dārga, ja vien es varu pabeigt savu ceļu un kalpošanu, ko man ir uzticējis Kungs Jēzus. ”
