For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.

(For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.<n id="1" />)<n id="2" />

So all of them were encouraged and took food themselves.

When they had eaten enough to be satisfied,<n id="1" /> they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat<n id="2" /> into the sea.p>

If a brother or sister<n id="1" /> is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,

no bag<n id="1" /> for the journey, or an extra tunic,<n id="2" /> or sandals or staff,<n id="3" /> for the worker deserves his provisions.

and after taking some food, his strength returned.p> <p class="bodytext">For several days<n id="1" /> he was with the disciples in Damascus,

Every day<n id="1" /> they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts,<n id="2" /> breaking bread from<n id="3" /> house to house, sharing their food with glad<n id="4" /> and humble hearts,<n id="5" />

yet he did not leave himself without a witness by doing good,<n id="1" /> by giving you rain from heaven<n id="2" /> and fruitful seasons, satisfying you<n id="3" /> with food and your hearts with joy.&#8221;<n id="4" />

Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is important<n id="1" /> for your survival.<n id="2" /> For not one of you will lose a hair from his head.&#8221;

But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.p>

<p class="bodytext">As day was about to dawn,<n id="1" /> Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, &#8220;Today is the fourteenth day you have been in suspense<n id="2" /> and have gone<n id="3" /> without food; you have eaten nothing.<n id="4" />

For though you should in fact be teachers by this time,<n id="1" /> you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God&#8217;s utterances.<n id="2" /> You have gone back to needing<n id="3" /> milk, not<n id="4" /> solid food.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore I tell you, do not worry<n id="1" /> about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn&#8217;t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?
