the wisdom of God There is an allusion to 2 Chronicles 24:20-22 (comp, 2 Chronicles 36:14-21), but as the exact passage nowhere occurs in the O. T. some suppose that our Lord quotes (1) from a lost bookcalled -The Wisdom of God" (Ewald, Bleek, &c.); or (2) from previous words of His own; or (3) from the Gospel of St Matthew (see Matthew 23:34); or (4) from the Book of Proverbs (Luke 1:20-31). It is a general paraphrase of the tenorof several O. T. passages.

some of them they shall slay and persecute See on Luke 6:23.
