1 PETER 3:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;”
After being made alive, he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison — the cryptic reference to Christ's proclamation (kerusso) to spirits in prison (phylakē) has generated extensive interpretation. The proclamation may represent Christ's announcement of victory or salvation to fallen angels, or to deceased righteous persons, or to those who perished in the flood.
