As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
Read Chapter 18
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
45. "Thou shalt make Me the head of the Gentiles. A people whom I have not known have served Me." The people of the Gentiles, whom in bodily presence I have not visited, have served Me. "At the hearing of the ear they have obeyed Me" (ver. 44). They have not seen Me with the eye: but, receiving my preachers, at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed Me.
