This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But this people - literally, “multitude,” meaning the ignorant rabble. (Pity these important distinctions, so marked in the original of this Gospel, should not be also in our version.)
knoweth not the law - that is, by school learning, which only subverted it by human traditions.
are cursed - a cursed set (a kind of swearing at them, out of mingled rage and scorn).
