He expresses his deep concern for their spiritual well-being, forewarning them of impending threats from false teachers who will emerge from within their own ranks.

The Key Word — ἄφιξίν, aphixisgenerated
The noun ἄφιξις is derived from the verb ἀφικνέομαι, meaning 'arrival' or 'departure.' In this context, it refers specifically to Paul's departure from the Ephesian elders, marking a significant moment of transition and concern for the community he is leaving behind.
This word is used only once in the New Testament, emphasizing the seriousness of Paul's message. It conveys the idea of leaving a place or situation, which is crucial as he warns them about the dangers that will arise after he is gone.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also convey the sense of danger following Paul's departure.
However, the YLT and WEB use slightly different phrasing, with 'grievous wolves' and 'vicious wolves,' respectively, highlighting the severity of the threat while maintaining the core message of the verse.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb in this verse is οἶδα, I know, which governs the entire statement. The structure includes a subordinate clause introduced by ὅτι (that), explaining what Paul knows, and a series of phrases detailing the action and its consequences.
The phrase ἄφιξίν serves as the object of οἶδα, indicating the time of the events Paul is predicting. The construction emphasizes the certainty of his knowledge regarding the dangers that will arise after his departure.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἄφιξίς does not appear in the Septuagint, but the related verb ἀφικνέομαι is often used in contexts of arrival or departure. Its absence in the LXX suggests a unique emphasis in the New Testament on the significance of departure as a moment of vulnerability for the community.
The concept of departure is echoed in the Old Testament, where leaders often faced challenges after leaving their posts, highlighting the continuity of this theme in biblical literature.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 20:29 shows Paul warning the church leaders in Ephesus that after he leaves, dangerous individuals will come in among them. He emphasizes that these 'savage wolves' will not show mercy to the flock, urging the leaders to be vigilant in protecting their community.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Paul is referring to false teachers and individuals who will seek to harm the church, using the metaphor of wolves to highlight their predatory nature.
His departure marks a critical moment for the church, as he warns that without his leadership, they will face threats from within and must be prepared to protect their community.
Church leaders should remain vigilant against false teachings and be proactive in caring for their congregation, ensuring that they are grounded in the truth of the Gospel.
This phrase indicates that the wolves will show no mercy or compassion towards the believers, emphasizing the seriousness of the threat they pose to the church.

The first-person pronoun. A Greek verb already carries its person in the ending, so the pronoun is usually present for emphasis. Luke puts himself inside the “us” among whom these things were fulfilled: he writes as one of the people the events happened to, not as an observer standing outside them.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

for (ki (conjunction), le, from 'el (preposition), and various other words. In the New Testament also the words are various, chiefly gar, kai gar, hoti (conjunctions); anti apo eis dia (accusative), epi (dative and accusative), peri (genitive), pros (genitive and accusative), huper (genitive) (prepositions)): the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version give in many cases more literal or more accurate renderings than those in the King James Version.
In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it. But, although anti in the New Testament often means…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word εἰσέρχομαι (*eiserchomai*) means to enter, either literally or figuratively. It is composed of the prefix εἰς (into) and the root ἔρχομαι (to come). This term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including entering a house (Matthew 8:5) or the kingdom of God (Matthew 7:13). It can also refer to entering into states of being or experiences, such as hope or temptation.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word μετά (transliterated as meta) is a preposition that can mean 'with,' 'among,' or 'after,' depending on the case it governs (genitive, accusative, or sometimes dative). In the New Testament, it is used to indicate association or companionship, as in Mark 1:29, and to denote sequence in time or place, as seen in Hebrews 9:3. The entries do not show significant disagreement.
μετά, [on its neylect of elision before proper names beginning with a vowel, and before sundry other words (at least in Tdf.’s text) see Tdf. Proleg. p. 95; cf. WH. Intr. p- 146°; W.§ 5,1a.; B. p. 10], a preposition, akin to μέσος (as Germ. mit to Mitte, mitten) and hence prop. in the midst of, amid, denoting association, union, accompaniment; [but some recent etymologists doubt its kinship to μέσος ; some connect it rather with ἅμα, Germ. sammt, ef. Curtius § 212; Vaniéek p. 972]. It takes the gen. and ace. (in the Grk. poets also the dat.).

μετά
meta
a primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly, denoting
accompaniment; "amid" (local or causal); modified variously according
to the case (genitive association, or accusative succession) with
which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between 575 or
1537 and 1519 or 4314; less intimate than 1722 and less close than
4862):--after(-ward), X that he again, against, among, X and,
+ follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-)on, + our, X and
setting, since, (un-)to, + together, when, with (+ -out). Often used
in composition, in substantially the same relations of participation
or proximity, and transfer or sequence.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἄφιξις (aphixis) is derived from ἀφικνέομαι and primarily means 'arrival,' though it can also refer to 'departure.' It appears in classical literature and the New Testament, specifically in Acts 20:29. Lexicons note its usage in various contexts, but there is some ambiguity regarding whether it emphasizes arrival or departure.

Deissmann (ZAZ p. 134 ff.) has drawn attention to the parallels to the solemn use of the first personal pronoun in the Fourth Gospel that may be adduced from inscriptions and magical texts. Thus in an inscr. in honour of Isis from Ios, written in ii/iii A.p., the contents of which are preChristian, we find —Elows ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ τ[ύρανν]ος πάσης χόρας.. ἐγὼ νόμους ἀνθρώποις ἐθέμην . . ἐγώ εἰμι Kpdvov θυγάτηρ πρεσβυτάτη α΄.

Mine
The process of mining is described in Job 28:1-11. Moses speaks of the mineral wealth of Palestine (Deut. 8:9). Job 28:4 is rightly thus rendered in the Revised Version, “He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the foot [that passeth by]; they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.” These words illustrate ancient mining operations.

The Greek word λύκος (i.e., *lykos*) means 'wolf' and is used literally and figuratively in various contexts. It appears in the New Testament to describe both the animal itself and metaphorically to refer to cruel or greedy individuals (e.g., Matthew 7:15). The word has connections to Hebrew and Latin, indicating its long-standing presence in literature and language.
λύκος, -ov, 6, Hebr. 381, a wolf: Mt. x. 16; Lk. x. 3; Jn. x. 12; applied figuratively to cruel, greedy, rapacious, destructive men: Mt. vii. 15; Acts xx. 29; (used trop. even in Hom. I]. 4,471; 16, 156; in the O. T., Ezek. xxii. 27; Zeph. iii. 3; Jer. v. 6).

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

The Greek word φείδομαι (pheidomai) means 'to spare' or 'to forbear.' It is used in contexts involving mercy or restraint, such as sparing people or resources. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like 2 Corinthians 13:2 and Romans 8:32. The entries suggest a range of meanings, including being thrifty and having consideration for others.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ποίμνιον (poimnion) means 'a flock,' primarily of sheep, but metaphorically refers to groups of Christian disciples. It is derived from a presumed form related to ποίμνη (poimnē). The New Testament uses it to describe believers under the care of church leaders, as seen in passages like Luke 12:32 and 1 Peter 5:2.
ποίμνιον, -ov, τό, (contr. fr. ποιμένιον, i. q. ποίμνη, see ποιμήν ; [on the accent cf. W. 52; Chandler ὃ 343 b.]), a flock (esp.) of sheep: so of a group of Christ’s disciples, Lk. xii. 32; of bodies of Christians (churches) presided over by elders [ef. reff. s. v. ποιμήν, b.], Acts xx. 28,29; 1 Pet. v. 3; with a possessive gen. added, τοῦ θεοῦ, 1 Pet. v. 2, as in Jer. xiii. 17; rod Χριστοῦ, Clem. Rom. 1 Cor. 16, 1; 44,3; 54, 2; 57,2. (Hdt., Soph., Eur., Plat., Leian., al.; Sept. chiefly for 7], and }xx.)
ποίμνιον, “a οοὶς ”’—the diminutive meaning, as in late Greek generally, cannot be pressed, cf. P Ryl II. 1142° (ες. A.D. 280), where a widow complains to the praefect that her husband’s former master had seized certain flocks belonging to the deceased, kal μέχρι τῆς σήμε[ρον οἰκειῶν τ]υγχάνι τὰ ἡμέτερα ποίμνια, “and until this day he remains in possession of our flocks” (Edd.). Cf. Aristeas 170 βουκολίων καὶ ποιμνίων, ‘herds and flocks.
