| Summary: | One of the thorniest exegetical questions in Pauline literature involves the apostles' story of a torn in the flash. Interpreters have often attempt to fathom the meaning of the passage by gleaning insights from historical backdrops. However, in doing so, they have overlooked clues that lie much closer at hand, namely, Jesus’ Passion tradition. Therefore, in this article, I attempt to show that Paul crafted the story of his thorn in light of Jesus' Passion. Based on analyses of linguistics, intertextuality, and literary context, I explore three significant of Jesus’ cross in 2 Cor 12:7-10: thorn in the flesh, threefold prayer, and antitheses of power and weakness. |
