On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

That which bears him out in it is that he has the example of his Master's praying for his crucifiers, and pleading in their behalf that they knew not what they did. And it is said of the rulers that if they had known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
