哥林多前书 2:8 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:8

"The Lord of glory." When the Jews and the Roman governor united in effecting the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, neither party to the proceeding can be said to have understood and realized what was being done. The enemies and murderers of the Prophet of Nazareth saw neither the glory of his character and person more than very dimly, nor the glory of his redemption in any measure at all. Jesus himself had declared, "They know not what they do;" and Paul here says that, had they known the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:8

What would have prevented Christ's crucifixion? Attention is directed to the second clause of the verse: "For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." From the point of view of merely worldly policy, the crucifixion of Christ was a profound mistake. Martyrdom never effects the objects sought by the persecutors. It tends rather to glorify, in the popular sentiment, the cause for which the martyrs died. "Not a single calculation of those who compassed the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:8-9

Spiritual ignorance the cause of immense evil and the occasion, of immense good. "Which none of the princes of this world," etc. The words lead us to look on spiritual ignorance— i.e. , ignorance of God and our obligations to him—in two very opposite aspects. I. AS THE CAUSE OF IMMENSE EVIL . These "princes of the world," through ignorance, "crucified the Lord of glory." A greater crime was never perpetrated. It involved: 1. Because it is in itself an evil, and like... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:8

Which none of the princes - None of those rulers who were engaged in the crucifixion of the Messiah, referring both to the Jewish rulers, and the Roman governor.Knew - They did not perceive or appreciate the excellency of his character, the wisdom of his plan, the glory of his scheme of salvation. Their ignorance arose from not understanding the prophecies, and from an unwillingness to be convinced that Jesus of Nazareth had been truly sent by God. In Acts 3:17, Peter says that it was through... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 2:6-8

1 Corinthians 2:6-8. Howbeit, we speak wisdom Yea, the truest and most excellent wisdom: for the subject matter of our preaching is the most wise contrivance and counsel of God concerning the salvation of mankind by Christ crucified, which will be acknowledged to be the highest wisdom, though not by learned philosophers, yet by humble, sincere, and well- instructed Christians. Such are here meant by them that are perfect That is, perfectly enlightened by the Word and Spirit of God, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Worldly and spiritual wisdom (2:1-16)Paul reminds the Corinthians that when he was among them he did not try to impress them with any great show of learning. He preached the plain gospel without trying to make it attractive to any one class of people (2:1-2). During his time in Corinth, Paul had been physically weak and lacked his usual boldness. As a result his preaching was not at all impressive. Yet this was no great disappointment to him, because he wanted his converts to stand in the power... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:8

Which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.One great essential element in the mystery is that of the incarnation of God in Christ, this being the precise element of the mystery unknown to the rulers of this world. Christ made it clear that the Jewish religious hierarchy did indeed know who Christ was, in the sense of knowing that he was the lawful heir of the temple, the promised Messiah, a holy and righteous prophet... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:8

1 Corinthians 2:8. They would not have crucified— The force of the original is, They would not by any means. Compare Luke 23:34. St. Paul, in the close of the foregoing verse, opposes the true glory of a Christian, to the glorying which was among the Corinthians in the eloquence, learning, or any other quality of their factious leaders: for, in all his expressions, he has an eye on his main purpose; as if he should have said, "Why do you make divisions, by glorying as you do, in your different... read more
