2 Peter 2:10

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

5047. 'The governor of the prison-house oversaw nothing whatever that was in his hand' means that He Himself governed truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the governor of the prison-house' as truth governing in a state of temptations, dealt with above in 5044, and from the meaning of 'overseeing nothing whatever that was in his hand' as His acting of Himself, and so with absolute power and control, as above in 5045, 5046.
