Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are… Having been tempted — or pierced through, Luther was a piercing preacher, and met with every man's temptation; and being once demanded how he could do so? "Mine own manifold temptations," said he, "and experiences are the cause thereof"; for from his tender years he was much beaten and exercised with spiritual conflicts. (J. Trapp.) Parallel Verses KJV: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. |
