Acts 20:28

28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among whom the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God,[a] which He purchased with His own blood.

Acts 20:28 In-Context

26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone's blood,
27 for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.
28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among whom the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 And men from among yourselves will rise up with deviant doctrines to lure the disciples into following them.
