Mocking and flogging were common forms of persecution in ancient times, often used to humiliate and physically punish those who were seen as threats or dissenters. In the context of <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a>, this refers to the trials faced by the prophets and other faithful servants of God. The mocking can be seen in the treatment of figures like Jeremiah, who was ridiculed for his prophecies (<a href="/jeremiah/20-7.htm">Jeremiah 20:7</a>). Flogging, a brutal form of punishment, was used by both Jewish and Roman authorities, as seen in the New Testament with the apostles (<a href="/acts/5-40.htm">Acts 5:40</a>). This phrase underscores the physical and emotional suffering endured by those who remained steadfast in their faith.and even chains and imprisonment Chains and imprisonment were common consequences for those who defied the prevailing religious or political authorities. In the biblical narrative, Joseph was imprisoned in Egypt (<a href="/genesis/39-20.htm">Genesis 39:20</a>), and the prophet Jeremiah was confined for his prophecies (<a href="/jeremiah/37-15.htm">Jeremiah 37:15-16</a>). In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul frequently faced imprisonment for preaching the gospel (<a href="/philippians/1-13.htm">Philippians 1:13</a>). These experiences of confinement serve as a testament to the perseverance and faithfulness of God's servants, who endured such hardships for the sake of their beliefs. The mention of chains and imprisonment in <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a> serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship and the enduring hope that sustains believers through trials.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/prophets_and_martyrs.htm">Prophets and Martyrs</a> The verse refers to unnamed individuals who suffered for their faith.

In this general review particular cases may again have suggested some of the expressions used. The mention of "mockings" is prominent in the Maccabean history; "bonds and imprisonments" recall Hanani, Micaiah, and Jeremiah; "they were stoned" recalls Zachariah son of Jehoiada (<a href="/2_chronicles/24-20.htm">2 Chronicles 24:20</a>; cf. <a href="/matthew/23-35.htm">Matthew 23:35</a>; <a href="/luke/11-51.htm">Luke 11:51</a>; also <a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>; <a href="/luke/13-34.htm">Luke 13:34</a>). "They wandered in sheepskins (μηλωταῖς) and in deserts" peculiarly suggests Elijah (his mantle being called μηλωτής in the LXX., <a href="/2_kings/2-13.htm">2 Kings 2:13, 14</a>), though the Maccabean heroes also took refuge in "deserts and mountains" (1 Macc. 2.). "Sawn asunder" (denoting a mode of executing martyrs of which there is no instance in the Old Testament or Apocrypha) most probably refers to a well-known tradition about Isaiah, who is said to have so suffered under Manasseh. Alford thus gives the notices found elsewhere of this tradition: "Justin Martyr 'Trypho,' § 120; Tertullian, 'Cont. Guest. Scorpiac.,' 8, and 'De Patient.,' 14; Origen, Ep. ad African.;' Lactantius, 'Inst.,' 4:11; Ps-Epiphanius, 'Vit. Proph.; Augustine, 'De Civ. Dei,' 18:24; Jerome, on <a href="/isaiah/57-1.htm">Isaiah 57:1</a>." Jerome calls it a "certissima traditio apud Judaeos," and says that this passage in the Epistle was by most referred to the passion of Isaiah. The tameness and apparent inappropriateness of the verb ἐπειράσθησαν ("were tempted") in ver. 36, in the midst of an enumeration of cruel modes of death, has led to a prevalent view that it is a corruption of the original text. Various conjectures have been made, the most tenable being (1) that it is an interpolation, arising kern the repetition by some copyist of ἐπρίσθησαν, which was afterwards altered to ἐπωιράσθησαν: or (2) that it is a substitution for some other word through error in transcription, the most likely conjecture as to the word originally written being ἐπρήσθησαν or ἐπυράσθησαν, equivalent to "were burnt." Either form, especially the latter, might easily be changed to ἐπειράσθησαν: and thus death by fire would have been originally included in the enumeration, which was likely to have been the case, especially since it is mentioned prominently in the account of the martyrdom of the seven sons. But, as there is no authority of any manuscript for a different word, this is mere conjecture; though the omission of the word altogether in some few manuscripts and versions, and variations of reading in others, suggest some uncertainty as to the original text. The word ἐπειράσ θησαν if genuine, may possibly have been suggested by alliteration, and by thought of the temptations to apostatize prominent in the account both of Eleazar and of the seven sons. <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/11-36.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[Still] δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. others ἕτεροι (heteroi) Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_2087.htm">Strong's 2087: </a> (a) of two: another, a second, (b) other, different, (c) one's neighbor.
