Clement of Alexandria, on 1Pet 2:23

Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
1Pet 2:23 · Douay-Rheims
“Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.”
On this verse:
“"Who, when He was reviled," he says, "reviled not; when He suffered, threatened not." The Lord acted so in His goodness and patience. "But committed Himself to him that judged Him unrighteously:" whether Himself, so that, regarding Himself in this way, there is a transposition. He indeed gave Himself up to those who judged according to an unjust law; because He was unserviceable to them, inasmuch as He was righteous: or, He committed to God those who judged unrighteously, and without cause insisted on His death, so that they might be instructed by suffering punishment.”
