1 Corinthians 14:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. Be revealed to another that sitteth by - Probably those who were teachers sat on a particular seat, or place, from which they might most readily address the people; and this may be the meaning of sitting by. If such a person could say, I have just received a particular revelation from God, then let him have the liberty immediately to speak it; as it might possibly relate to the circumstances of that time and place.
