<p>27:34 <em>Therefore, I beg you to take some food. For this is for your health-&nbsp; </em>When Paul tells them to eat food &quot;for your health&quot;, he uses the Greek word normally translated &quot;salvation&quot;. The whole incident is a parable of salvation. See on :44. The gods they were fasting to (see on :33) could not save.</p><p><em>For not a hair shall perish from the head of any of you</em>- I get the feeling that there are times when Paul consciously alludes to Christ's words, and appropriates them to himself. For example, here we read of how he promised them that &quot;not an hair (would) fall from the head&quot; of any of them, just as the Lord promised His disciples (Lk. 21:18); see on :22.</p>
