This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Were filled with wrath - They seem to have drawn the following conclusion from what our Lord spoke: “The Gentiles are more precious in the sight of God than the Jews; and to them his miracles of mercy and kindness shall be principally confined.” This was pretty near the truth, as the event proved. Those who profit not by the light of God, while it is among them, shall have their candle extinguished. The kingdom of God was taken from the Jews, and given to the Gentiles; not because the Gentiles were better than they were, but because,
1st. The Jews had forfeited their privileges; and
2dly. Because Christ saw that the Gentiles would bring forth the fruits of the kingdom.
