Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 12. Think not strange, and so forth Be not surprised, nor discouraged that a hot and sharp persecution is come upon you at this time, as if it were a new and an extraordinary thing. It is what you must expect and be ready to receive with patience, and even with joy, when you suffer as Christ did before you, and for his sake: this is the way to eternal happiness in heaven. Witham.
