Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 1:22

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks [illegible: 1 letter]eek after wisdom .

The Jews were not without some true Divine Revelation▪ and owned the true God, and only desired some miraculous operation from Christ, Matt. 12.38. Ioh. 4.48. to confirm them that Christ was sent from God, without signs and wonders they would not believe: giving no credit at all to the words of Christ: and the Greeks (by whom the Apostle understands the Gentiles, especially the more learned part of them (for Greece was at this time very famous for humane Literature) they sought after the demonstration of all things from natural causes and rational arguments, and despised every thing which could not so be made out unto them.
