Galatians 1:11-12 But I certify you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.… Revelation seems usually to be ascribed to the Son of God in consistency with His character as the Word, the declarer of God's will who has manifested God in the flesh (see also 1 Corinthians 11:23; Revelation 1:1; Revelation 5:9). Whereas Inspiration is usually connected with the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21; Acts 1:16; Hebrews 7:8). But Luke 2:26 is an exception to the rule. And, doubtless as on the one hand it is from the Son that the Spirit proceeds, being indeed the water which flows out of the rock of our salvation: so, on the other, no revelation can be made without the Spirit who opens the inward eye to what is outwardly communicated. (Dean Goulburn.) Parallel Verses KJV: But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. |
