ExplanationCommentary
Verse 28. A redemption for many; that is for all, as it is sometimes the style of the Scriptures. See Saint Paul, 1 Timothy 2:6. Witham.—Certain Puritans pretend from this part of holy Scripture, that all superiority is forbidden; but it is merely pride, ambition, and haughtiness, not superiority, that is here proscribed.

B.—For the divine appointment of both civil and ecclesiastical government, see Romans 13:2 and 1 Corinthians 12:28. Hebrew chapter 13:7, 17.
