94. For how could He, Who hath made days and
times, be ignorant of the day? How could He not know the day, Who
hath declared both the season of Judgment to come, and the
cause? See S.
Matt. xxiv. 22, 29; Ps. xcvi.
13; xcviii. 10. A curse,
then, He was made not in respect of His Godhead, but of His flesh; for
it is written: “Cursed is every one that hangeth on a
tree.” Deut. xxi. 23; Gal. iii. 13. In and
after the flesh, therefore, He hung, and for this cause He, Who bore
our curses, became a curse. This it is that has
constituted the “offence of the Cross.”—Gal. v. 11; 1 Cor. i. 22. He wept that
thou, man, mightest not weep long. He endured insult, that thou
mightest not grieve over the wrong done to thee. i.e. the
sorrows met with during our passage through the world, by reason of
human unkindness. Or perhaps the possessive adjective may be
taken as equivalent to a subj. genitive, and we should render by
“the wrong that thou hast done.”
