I would never refer to myself as a Jewish Apostle. Any reference U made like that would have been a reference to the original Twelve Jewish Apostles. Yes. Yes. Work is taxing but the retirement is priceless.
The phrase was here: "...and pointedly said if any were contentious, we (Jewish Apostles) had no such custom..."
The whole section was to be understood as having been said by Paul. I see that now. There weren't any quotation marks, and I read it way too quickly and carelessly.
Thanks for your good thoughts!
