The Veil Over the Face of Moses a Type of the Blindness of. Israel. The Transforming Power of the Gospel.

That I would not come again to you in heaviness. "With sorrow" (Revised Version). See 2Co 1:23. He desired not to come to rebuke, but to rejoice with them. This verse seems to point to a time when he had come in "heaviness". It is generally admitted now by commentators that he did make such a visit, probably while preaching at Ephesus, running across the sea, a voyage of two or three days, for a short visit. This visit seems to be proved by 2Co 12:14,21 13:1. See Conybeare and Howson, Vol. II, p. 27.
