Romans 2:19

19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

Ver. 19. Of the blind ] The Chinese say that all other nations see but with one eye, they with two. The Pharisees were called Pekachin aperti, open-eyed: because they only saw. One of them was called Or hagnolam, " The light of the world." In Scripture, wise men only are termed Seers, Pekakim, Exodus 23:8 ; "Are we also blind?" say they to our Saviour; q.d. No, we scorn it: and yet how often hear we in that one chapter, Matthew 23:16-17 ; Matthew 23:19 ; Matthew 23:24 ; Matthew 23:26 "Thou blind Pharisee, Ye fools and blind."
