| Romans 10:19 | But I say: Hath not Israel known? First Moses saith: *I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you. Deuteronomy 32:21. | A people whom you have always despised, as not being worthy to be numbered amongst mankind, I will make my beloved people. I will enrich with my graces those whom you have contemned; I will give them the grace of adoption, thus to stir you up to jealousy and rage. And in effect, what greater rage ever was there, than that of the Jews against the converted Gentiles? In persecution, the Jews were always most busy. Thus were the Jews plainly informed of the truth of the gospel, by the Gentiles converted before their face. (Calmet) |
