On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In craving epistles of the high priest, he ran headlong against Christ willingly; and now he is enforced to obey whether he will or no. This is surely the most excellent mercy of God, in that that man is reclaimed unto salvation contrary to the purpose of his mind, whom so great a heat carried headlong into destruction.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed
