2 Timothy 3:8
_ _ Now — Greek, “But”; it is no wonder there should be now such opponents to the truth, for their prototypes existed in ancient times [Alford].
_ _ Jannes ... Jambres — traditional names of the Egyptian magicians who resisted Moses (Exodus 7:11, Exodus 7:22), derived from “the unwritten teaching of the Jews” [Theodoret]. In a point so immaterial as the names, where Scripture had not recorded them, Paul takes the names which general opinion had assigned the magicians. Eusebius [Preparation of the Gospel], quotes from Numenius, “Jannes and Jambres were sacred scribes (a lower order of priests in Egypt) skilled in magic.” Hiller interprets “Jannes” from the Abyssinian language a trickster, and “Jambres” a juggler” (Acts 13:8).
_ _ resist — “withstand,” as before. They did so by trying to rival Moses’ miracles. So the false teachers shall exhibit lying wonders in the last days (Matthew 24:24; 2 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 13:14, Revelation 13:15).
_ _ reprobate — incapable of testing the truth (Romans 1:28) [Bengel]. Alford takes passively, “not abiding the test”; rejected on being tested (Jeremiah 6:30). |
2 Timothy 3:8
Several ancient writers speak of Jannes and Jambres, as the chief of the Egyptian magicians. Men of corrupt minds — Impure notions and wicked inclinations. Void of judgment — Quite ignorant, as well as careless, of true, spiritual religion. |
- as:
Exodus 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exodus 7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus 8:7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
