But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says,
I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
All Commentaries on Romans 10:19 Go To Romans 10
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Israel ought to have known even on the basis of Moses alone how to tell who were the true preachers, not merely from the fact that they believed, nor from the fact that the preachers spoke of peace, nor from the fact that they brought glad tidings of good things, nor from the fact that the word was sown in all the world, but from the ironic fact that their inferiors, the Gentiles, were receiving greater honor than they had.
