2 Corinthians 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 12:3

And I knew such a man
The same man, namely himself, is here designed, and the same rapture spoken of, and the condition he was in expressed in the same words: which repetition is made for the more strong affirmation of what he delivered, and to signify the marvellousness of this vision, and how surprising and unaccountable it was.

2 Corinthians 12:3 In-Context

1 As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

3 And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),

4 How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

5 On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.
