Hippolytus of Rome, on 1Cor 2:8
Hippolytus of Rome · c. A.D. 170–235
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:
“As John says these things to the multitude, and as the people watch in eager expectation of seeing some strange spectacle with their bodily eyes, and the devil is struck with amazement at such a testimony from John, lo, the Lord appears, plain, solitary, uncovered, without escort, having on Him the body of man like a garment, and hiding the dignity of the Divinity, that He may elude the snares of the dragon.”
