“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory — the revelation is stunning: the cosmic rulers (archontes), whether human (Pilate, Herod) or demonic, 'did not understand' (egnōsan) God's wisdom. Had they grasped it, they would not have crucified 'the Lord of glory' (ton kyrion tēs doxēs). Their ignorance was their defeat; their act of crucifixion became salvation's hinges. The 'wisdom hidden' is now revealed through the very death they inflicted.
