This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
47. οὕτως γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ κύριος, for thus hath the Lord commanded us. The Lord’s command which the Apostle quotes is from Isa 49:6, and it shews that from the prophetic times the reception of the Gentiles was made manifest in the counsels of God. Whatever application be made of the words of the Prophet (i.e. to whomsoever the ‘thee’ be referred) it is clear that, with the Jews, the Gentiles also are to be recipients of the promised blessings.
