{I know a man} (oida anthr(9370)on). Paul singles out one
incident of ecstasy in his own experience that he declines to
describe. He alludes to it in this indirect way as if it were
some other personality. {Fourteen years ago} (pro et(936e)
dekatessar(936e)). Idiomatic way of putting it, the preposition
pro (before) before the date (Robertson, _Grammar, p. 621f.) as
in  Joh 12:1 . The date was probably while Paul was at Tarsus
( Ac 9:30  11:25 ). We have no details of that period. {Caught
up} (harpagenta). Second aorist passive participle of
harpaz(935c), to seize (see on  Mt 11:12 ). {Even to the third
heaven} (he(9373) tritou ouranou). It is unlikely that Paul alludes
to the idea of seven heavens held by some Jews (_Test. of the
Twelve Pat._, Levi ii. iii.). He seems to mean the highest heaven
where God is (Plummer).
