This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Christ, whose the church is by a right of redemption, and by its having given up itself to him, 2Co_8:5, he is the Bridegroom of it, Mat_22:2 2Co_11:2 Eph_5:23,25,29; as his Father was the Husband of the Jewish church; it belongeth to him to give laws to it, and to order matters and affairs in it. I am but as one who is
the friend of the bridegroom, one of the children of the bride chamber, Mat_9:15, and have by my preaching prepared the people of the Jews for him; and instead of being troubled to hear that he is come, I rejoice greatly to hear his voice. So far am I from repining to hear that multitudes go to him, that
my joy is fulfilled; that is, I have no greater satisfaction than to hear it.
