22 Are they ^oHebrews? ^pSo am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ^qservants of Christ? ^rI am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with ^sfar greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews ^tthe forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was ^ubeaten with rods. Once I was ^vstoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, ^wdanger from my own people, ^xdanger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,¹ in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

Paul Stoned at Lystra

19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, ^bthey stoned Paul and ^cdragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
