This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
46. ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον κ.τ.λ., it was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you. That, as Christ came first unto His own, so His messengers should declare their glad tidings first unto Jews, but if they received not the word, then it was to be proclaimed to all who would receive it.
καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτούς, and adjudge yourselves unworthy, i.e. you pronounce a sentence upon yourselves by your actions. Cf. Mat 22:8, ‘They that were bidden’ to the marriage-supper were found in this fashion to be unworthy. He who sent to call them had deemed them worthy, but they made it clear they were not so by their refusal to come.
