TRIUMPH

, 2358) denotes (a) “to lead in triumph,” used of a conqueror
with reference to the vanquished, 2 Cor. 2:14. Theodoret paraphrases it “He leads us
about here and there and displays us to all the world.” This is in agreement with
evidences from various sources. Those who are led are not captives exposed to
humiliation, but are displayed as the glory and devoted subjects of Him who leads (see
the context). This is so even if there is a reference to a Roman “triumph.” On such
occasions the general’s sons, with various officers, rode behind his chariot (Livy, xlv.
40). But there is no necessary reference here to a Roman “triumph” (Field, in
:
!

:
). The main thought is that of the display, “in Christ” being the
sphere; its evidences are the effects of gospel testimony.
In Col. 2:15 the circumstances and subjects are quite different, and relate to Christ’s
victory over spiritual foes at the time of His death; accordingly the reference may be to
the triumphant display of the defeated.¶
