In this next chapter, we see Paul beginning his ministry as Jesus called him to. Not only does he boldly proclaim the gospel, but he speaks and acts as the spirit commands. This is not an easy task to do, as sometimes anger and jealousy fills our human flesh causing us to lash out irrationally. Paul was on a bigger mission and he wasn't willing to let anyone compromise God's plans. The same can be said for each of us, part of being a shepherd is protecting the flock.
