Ephesians 2:14

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us ;

Ver. 14. For he is our peace ] That is, our peace maker and peace matter. a When he was born, there was among all nations a general aut pax, aut pactio, either peace or an agreement for peace, as Florus observeth. When he took his name, he would not have it either entirely Hebrew, as Jesus, or entirely Greek, as Christ, but both Jesus and Christ, to show (saith one) that he is our peace that hath reconciled two into one, &c.
