Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 11:37

Theological / Devotional

Stoned. Like Naboth of Jezreel, and Stephen.

Sawn asunder. According to tradition this was the fate of Isaiah.

Tempted. Or, “tested.” A lengthy list of noble men and women might be drawn up who passed the great tests of their lives successfully.

Slain with the sword. Like Gedaliah, the priests of Nob, and James the brother of John.

Wandered about. Like Elijah and David.
