1 Corinthians 2 v 8


1 Corinthians 2:8 
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 


2:8. As did John in his Gospel (John 17:1), Paul linked glory with the crucified Lord, an utter paradox to both Jews and Gentiles (1 Cor. 1:23) who nonetheless unwittingly (Luke 23:34) took part in that central act of God’s plan of salvation.
