“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.”
King James Version (KJV)
11:29 Who - So he had not only the care of the churches, but of every person therein. Is weak, and I am not weak - By sympathy, as well as by condescension. Who is offended - Hindered in, or turned out of, the good way. And I burn not - Being pained as though I had fire in my bosom.
11:30 I will glory of the things that concern my infirmities - Of what shows my weakness, rather than my strength.
11:32 The governor under Aretas - King of Arabia and Syria of which Damascus was a chief city, willing to oblige the Jews, kept the city - Setting guards at all the gates day and night.
11:33 Through a window - Of an house which stood on the city wall.
2Co 11:31 The God and Father . . . knoweth that I lie not. He has given as astonishing catalogue of suffering. Yet, God knows that every word is true.
