Luke 11:49

“Therefore also said the wisdom of God, etc.]. The Syriac version only reads “wisdom”; by which seems to be meant not the perfection of God's wisdom: though it is usual with the Jews to represent the divine perfections as speaking, as the justice and mercy of God. They say f387, that “when the holy blessed God sought to make Hezekiah the Messiah, and Sennacherib, Gog, and Magog, ˆydh tdym, “the property of judgment”, or “justice, said” before the holy, blessed God, Lord of the world, etc.” and so the sense may be here, that the infinite wisdom of God said within himself, determined in his own breast, to do what follows. But I rather think that Christ is intended, who, as God, is the essential…”

“said the wisdom, &c.--a remarkable variation of the words in Mat 23:34, "Behold I SEND." As there seems plainly an allusion to ancient warnings of what God would do with so incorrigible a people, so here Christ, stepping majestically into the place of God, so to speak, says, "Now I am going to carry all that out." Could this be other than the Lord of Israel in the flesh?”

“See the notes at Matthew 23:29-36. Luke 11:49 The wisdom of God - By the “wisdom of God,” here, is undoubtedly meant the Saviour himself. What he immediately says is not written in the Old Testament. Jesus is called “the word of God” John 1:1, because he is the medium by which God “speaks” or makes his will known. He is called “the wisdom of God,” because by him God makes his wisdom known in creation (Colossians 1:13-18 and in redemption 1 Corinthians 1:30. Many have also thought that the Messiah was referred to in the Proverbs 8:1 of Proverbs, under the name of Wisdom. I will send ... - See Luke 10:3; Matthew 10:16. Shall slay ... - Compare John 16:2; Acts 7:52, Acts 7:59; James 5:10; Acts…”

“The wisdom of God, agreeably to this, hath said - In many places of Scripture, though not in these very words, I will send them prophets - Chiefly under the Old Testament: and apostles - Under the New. Mat 23:34. Luke 11:50”

“11:49 The quotation is not explicitly from the Old Testament.”

“the wisdom: Probably by the Wisdom of God we are to understand the λογος \[Strong's G3056\], or Word of God, that is, our Lord himself; this being a dignified and oriental mode of expression for I say, as it is in the parallel passage. Pro 1:2-6, Pro 8:1-12, Pro 9:1-3; Co1 1:30; Col 2:3 I will: Luk 24:47; Mat 23:34; Act 1:8; Eph 4:11 and some: Luk 21:16, Luk 21:17; Mat 22:6; Joh 16:2; Act 7:57-60, Act 8:1, Act 8:3, Act 9:1, Act 9:2, Act 12:1, Act 12:2, Act 22:4, Act 22:5; Act 22:20, Act 26:10, Act 26:11; Co2 11:24, Co2 11:25 Luke 11:50”
