Pelagius, on 1Cor 2:8

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420

1Cor 2:8 · Douay-Rheims

“Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.”

On this verse:

“Pilate, Caiaphas and the rest were condemned by their ignorance, because they should have known the truth. There are two kinds of heretics who misinterpret this passage. The first are the Apollinarians, and the second are the Arians. The Apollinarians are wrong because they do not accept that Christ's human nature was perfect. The Arians err because they claim that the Word of God can suffer. Arius did not believe that it was the Lord of glory who took on a human nature, and therefore he thought that the Word, being only human, could suffer.”
