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 It is necessary to brag, not that it does any good. I'll move on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago. I don't know whether it was in the body or out of the body. God knows.

4 I know that this man was caught up into paradise and that he heard unspeakable words that were things no one is allowed to repeat. I don't know whether it was in the body or apart from the body. God knows.

5 I'll brag about this man, but I won't brag about myself, except to brag about my weaknesses.
