This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This man (οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος)
With sarcastic emphasis.
Was not able (οὐκ ἴσχυσεν)
From ἰσχύς, strength. See on power, 2Pe 2:11. To be strong in body or in resources, and so to be worth, as Lat., valere. “This man was not worth enough, or was not good for the completion.” In this latter sense, Mat 5:13, “good for nothing.”
