15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.



Ver. 15. It is his angel] Or, it is his messenger, or one come from him. See a like place, Luk_7:24. Angels use not to stand at door and knock, and wait for an opening. Fernelius (holding that each saint hath his angel-guardian) tells us out of the rabbins, that Adam’s angel was called Raziel, Abraham’s Zachiel, Isaac’s Raphael, Jacob’s Peniel, and Moses’ Metraton. But this may as well pass for a Jewish fable.
