Distinction between person and office is wholly alien to the teaching of Jesus. He says nothing about that. He addresses his disciples as men who have left all to follow him, and the precept of non-violence applies equally to private life and official duty.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Distinction between person and office is wholly alien to the teaching of Jesus. He says nothing about that. He addresses his disciples as men who have left all to follow him, and the precept of non-violence applies equally to private life and official duty." in the context of "Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Nachfolge (1937), translated as The Cost of Discipleship (1959), p. 143" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
