2 Corinthians 12:8
_ _ For — “concerning this thing.”
_ _ thrice — To his first and second prayer no answer came. To his third the answer came, which satisfied his faith and led him to bow his will to God’s will. So Paul’s master, Jesus, thrice prayed on the Mount of Olives, in resignation to the Father’s will. The thorn seems (from 2 Corinthians 12:9, and Greek, 2 Corinthians 12:7, “that he may buffet me”) to have continued with Paul when he wrote, lest still he should be “overmuch lifted up.”
_ _ the Lord — Christ. Escape from the cross is not to be sought even indirectly from Satan (Luke 4:7). “Satan is not to be asked to spare us” [Bengel]. |
