1 Corinthians 2:8 Context
6Howbeit wee speake wisedome among them that are perfect: yet not the wisedome of this worlde, nor of the Princes of this worlde, that come to nought: 7But wee speake the wisedome of God in a mysterie, euen the hidden wisedome which God ordeined before the world, vnto our glory. 8Which none of the princes of this world knewe: for had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory. 9But as it is written, Eye hath not seene, nor eare heard, neither haue entred into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that loue him. 10But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 2:8
2:8 Had they known it - That wisdom. They would not have crucified - Punished as a slave. The Lord of glory - The giving Christ this august title, peculiar to the great Jehovah, plainly shows him to be the supreme God. In like manner the Father is styled, the Father of glory, #Eph 1:17|; and the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of glory, #1Pet 4:14|. The application of this title to all the three, shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the God of glory; as the only true God is called, #Psa 29:3|, and #Acts 7:2|.
