Luke 11:49

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

"'Therefore"—in other words, "Because of the determined, irreconcilable hatred of you Pharisees, and the people whom you guide, to all that is noble and true and real; because, in spite of your seeming piety, you are fast rooted in impiety"—"Therefore said the wisdom of God, I will send."

The expression, "wisdom of God," has been a difficulty to commentators.
