For the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:— The Venetian reading is, The Spirit of honour, and of glory, and divine power, even the Spirit of God, resteth upon you. The meaning seems to be, in general, "You shall have the Spirit of God in a very glorious manner, to support you, in proportion to the trials which you are called to bear; and this will spread a glory round you, even though you may be treated in the most infamous manner, as the vilest of malefactors;"—which we know was the case with several of the primitive Christians. See Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 17:14.Acts 1:8; Acts 2:3 and comp. Exodus 40:35.
