“From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.”
From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. — Paul's cryptic declaration: 'stigmata tou Iēsou' (marks of Jesus, slave-branding marks) visible on his body testify to his belonging to Christ ('doulos Christou'); these 'marks' likely refer to scars from persecution (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:23-25), making his body a text of apostolic suffering.
