I Beg You, Become As I Am. Have I Become Your Enemy By Speaking The Truth To You?

You did me no wrong. 13 And you know that I first[a] announced-the-good-news to you because of a weakness[b] of the flesh. 14 And you did not treat-with-contempt nor loathe your trial in-connection-with my flesh, but you welcomed me as an angel[c] of God, as Christ Jesus. 15 Where then is your blessedness[d]? For I testify concerning you that, if possible, you would have given your eyes to me, having torn them out! 16 So then, have I become your enemy while speaking-the-truth to you? 17 They are zealously-seeking you— not commendably, but they want to shut you out[e] in-order-that you might be zealously-seeking them.

And some of them have come from a distance”. 4 And His disciples responded to Him that “From where will anyone be able to fill these ones to satisfaction with bread here in a desolate-place?” 5 And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And the ones said “Seven”. 6 And He orders the crowd to fall-back on the ground [to eat]. And having taken the seven loaves, having given-thanks, He broke them, and was giving them to His disciples in order that they might be setting them before them. And they set them before the crowd. 7 And they had a few small-fish. And having blessed them, He said to be setting these also before them. 8 And they ate and were filled-to-satisfaction. And they picked up the leftovers of fragments— seven large-baskets. 9 And there were about four-thousand men. And He sent them away.
