ExplanationCommentary
Verse 28. To exhaust the sins of many. That is, of all, according to the style of the Scriptures. When he came first, he took upon him the load of our sins; but at his second coming, at the end of the world, he will come in a quite different manner, not as laden with our sins, not after the similitude of a sinful man, not to redeem us, but with great power and majesty to judge all men. Witham.—To exhaust. That is, to empty or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption. Challoner.
