Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 4:9

_ _ not forsaken — by God and man. Jesus was forsaken by both; so much do His sufferings exceed those of His people (Matthew 27:46).

_ _ cast down — or “struck down”; not only “persecuted,” that is, chased as a deer or bird (1 Samuel 26:20), but actually struck down as with a dart in the chase (Hebrews 11:35-38). The Greek “always” in this verse means, “throughout the whole time”; in 2 Corinthians 4:11 the Greek is different, and means, “at every time,” “in every case when the occasion occurs.”
