The persecution, civil unrest, and famine experienced by the disciples in Jerusalem may have resulted in what Paul called “sufferings, ”“ tribulations, ” and “the plundering of [their] belongings. ”
Paulus rääkis „kannatamisest ”,„ viletsusest ” ja „vara riisumisest ”, pidades ilmselt silmas Jeruusalemma jüngrite kogetud tagakiusamist, rahvarahutusi ja nälga.
