ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 11 v25

BEATEN, STONED AND SHIPWRECKED. AMBROSIASTER: Paul suffered the beating with rods at the hands of Gentiles. He was stoned by the Jews in a city of Lycaonia. Someone who sailed as much as he did would easily have been shipwrecked three times. He was adrift at sea on his journey to Rome, when he had appealed to Caesar. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

GOING DOWN TO THE SEA. EPHREM THE SYRIAN: The East has grown luminous with the saints, with them the West has become brilliant, the North is raised up by them, from them the South has learned. They have ascended to the firmament and opened it, they have gone down to the sea and explored it. HYMNS ON PARADISE 6.22.
