2 Corinthians 11:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ Are they Christ's servants? I serve him even better than they do! (Now I am speaking like a crazy person.) I work much more than they have worked. I have been in prison more often than they have. People have hit me with whips very many times. I have nearly died many times.

²⁴ At five different times, the Jewish leaders punished me with whips. Each time they hit me 39 times. ²⁵ Three times the Romans punished me with sticks. People threw stones at me to kill me once. Three times I have been on ships that broke in the sea. Once I was in the sea for a night and a day.
