Ephesians 2:17
_ _ Translate, “He came and announced glad tidings of peace.” “He came” of His own free love, and “announced peace” with His own mouth to the apostles (Luke 24:36; John 20:19, John 20:21, John 20:26); and by them to others, through His Spirit present in His Church (John 14:18). Acts 26:23 is strictly parallel; after His resurrection “He showed light to the people (‘them that were nigh’) and to the Gentiles (‘you that were afar off’),” by His Spirit in His ministers (compare 1 Peter 3:19).
_ _ and to them — The oldest manuscripts insert “peace” again: “And peace to them.” The repetition implies the joy with which both alike would dwell again and again upon the welcome word “peace.” So Isaiah 57:19. |
Ephesians 2:17
And he came — After his resurrection. And preached peace — By his ministers and his Spirit. To you — Gentiles. That were afar off — At the utmost distance from God. And to them that were nigh — To the Jews, who were comparatively nigh, being his visible church. |
Ephesians 2:17
(13) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
(13) The preaching of the Gospel is an effectual instrument of this grace, common to the Jews as well as to the Gentiles. |
