This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

16. ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἀπολέσει. In Mat 21:41 this is the answer of the people themselves to our Lord’s question.

δώσει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλοις. “Lo, we turn to the Gentiles,” Act 13:46.

μὴ γένοιτο. ‘Might it not be!’ Heb. Chalîlah. In this utterance we hear the groan of the Jewish people when the truth that they were indeed to be rejected burst upon them. It woke an echo even in the heart of the Apostle of the Gentiles. For the Hebrew expression Chalîlah see Gen 44:7; Gen 44:17; Jos 22:29. It occurs ten times in the Epistle to the Romans alone. See Life of St Paul, II. 206. It is the opposite of Amen, but occurs here alone in the Gospels.
