Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Ver. 2. Who can have compassion] μετοιοπαθειν. Or, bear anything with reason, and not be easily angry, but show as much mercy as is meet for his, whether they have ignorantly offended, or upon deliberation. They cannot commit more than he can remit.
He is compassed with infirmity] Christ was compassed with that which we call miserable, not that we call sinful infirmity.
