2 Corinthians 11:23-25
New English Translation

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times. 24 Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes less one.[a] 25 Three times I was beaten with a rod.[b] Once I received a stoning.[c] Three times I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I spent adrift in the open sea.
