Bible Comments

(7) Else when thou shalt bless with the (n) spirit, how shall he that (o) occupieth the room of the unlearned say (p) Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

(7) Another reason: seeing that the whole congregation must agree with him that speaks, and also witness this agreement, how will they give their assent or agreement who know not what is spoken?

(n) Alone, without any consideration of the hearers.

(o) He that sits as a private man.

(p) So then one uttered the prayers, and all the company answered "amen".
