This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Ver. 15. He made a show of them] A plain allusion to the Roman triumphs. {See Trapp on "Eph_4:8"} Christ made the devils a public spectacle of scorn and derision, as Tamerlane did Bajazet the Great Turk, whom he shut up in an iron cage made like a grate, in such sort, as that he might on every side be seen; and so carried him up and down, as he passed through Asia, to be of his own people scorned and derided.
