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 doubtless not expedient for me to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

2 I knew a man in Christ more than fourteen years ago (whether in the body I cannot tell, or whether out of the body I cannot tell -- God knoweth). Such a one was caught up to the third Heaven.

3 And I knew such a man (whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell -- God knoweth),

4 and how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such a one will I glory, yet of myself I will not glory, except in mine infirmities.
