2 Corinthiens 3:14

14 Mais ils sont devenus durs d'entendement. Car jusqu'à ce jour le même voile demeure quand, ils font la lecture de l'Ancien Testament, et il ne se lève pas, parce que c'est en Christ qu'il disparaît.

2 Corinthiens 3:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 3:14

But their minds were blinded
This confirms the sense given of the foregoing verse, and shows, that not the Israelites only in Moses's time, but the Jews in the times of the Gospel, had their minds so blinded, that they could not behold the glory of the Gospel, nor Christ the end of the law; see ( Romans 11:7 Romans 11:8 Romans 11:25 ) .

For until this day,
to this very time,

remaineth the same veil untaken away;
not the selfsame veil that was on Moses's face, but the veil of blindness, darkness, and ignorance, upon the hearts of the Jews:

in the reading of the Old Testament;
the books of the Old Testament, which were used to be read in their synagogues every sabbath day; the true spiritual meaning of which, as they respect Christ and the Gospel dispensation, they understood not; of which darkness, the veil on the face of Moses was a type and emblem:

which veil is done away in Christ;
can only be removed by Christ, by his Spirit and grace, and through the light of the Gospel of Christ, shining into the heart; and so dispel that blindness and ignorance which is in the understanding; whereby the books of the Old Testament are understood, and appear to agree exactly with the Gospel of Christ, in the books of the New Testament.

2 Corinthiens 3:14 In-Context

12 Ayant donc cette espérance, nous usons d'une grande liberté,

13 et nous ne faisons pas comme Moïse, qui mettait un voile sur son visage, pour que les fils d'Israël ne fixassent pas les regards sur la fin de ce qui était passager.

14 Mais ils sont devenus durs d'entendement. Car jusqu'à ce jour le même voile demeure quand, ils font la lecture de l'Ancien Testament, et il ne se lève pas, parce que c'est en Christ qu'il disparaît.

15 Jusqu'à ce jour, quand on lit Moïse, un voile est jeté sur leurs coeurs;

16 mais lorsque les coeurs se convertissent au Seigneur, le voile est ôté.
