2 Corinthians 4:9
not forsaken—by God and man. Jesus was forsaken by both; so much do His sufferings exceed those of His people (Matthew 27:46).
cast down—or "struck down"; not only "persecuted," that is, chased as a deer or bird (I Samuel 26:20), but actually struck down as with a dart in the chase (Hebrews 11:35-38). The Greek "always" in this verse means, "throughout the whole time"; in II Corinthians 4:11 the Greek is different, and means, "at every time," "in every case when the occasion occurs."
