# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Paul continues to talk to the Ephesian elders ([Acts 20:17](../20/17.md)).
|
|
|
|
# Now look, I know
|
|
|
|
"Now, pay careful attention, because I know"
|
|
|
|
# I know that you all
|
|
|
|
"I know that all of you"
|
|
|
|
# among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom
|
|
|
|
Here "kingdom" stands for God's rule as king. Alternate translation: "to whom I preached the message about God's reign as king" or "to whom I preached about how God will show himself as king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# will see my face no more
|
|
|
|
The word "face" here represents Paul's physical body. Alternate translation: "will not see me anymore on this earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
