(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Literally, “See not”; the abruptness of the phrase marking the angel’s abhorrence of the thought of his being worshipped however indirectly. Contrast the fallen angel’s temptation to Jesus, “Fall down and worship me” (Mat 4:9).
for - A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, Andreas, and Cyprian omit “for”; which accords with the abrupt earnestness of the angel’s prohibition of an act derogatory to God.
and of - “and (the fellow servant) of thy brethren.”
