36 When he had so said, Paul kneeled down, and prayed with them.37 And they all began, with loud lamentations, to throw their arms about his neck, and to kiss him lovingly, again and again,38 sorrowing most of all for the words that he had spoken, that after that day they should look upon his face no more. And they began to escort him to the ship.

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after embracing them, bade them farewell, and started for Macedonia.

33 After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.

17 But I, my brothers, although torn from you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made eager efforts to behold you face to face with strong longing.

8 God is my witness how I yearn for you all in the tenderness of Christ Jesus.

25 Grace be with you all, Amen.

11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.13 All the saints salute you.14 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

10 Finally, my brothers, let your hearts be strengthened in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

61 And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."62 But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
