ExplanationCommentary
Verse 39. Till you say, blessed is he that cometh. Hereafter you shall own me for your Messias, and the world’s Redeemer, at least at the day of judgment. Witham.—The time here foretold, when they should say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, is the day of general judgment. When our Saviour says, henceforth, we must understand it of all that time, which intervened between the time of his speaking and his passion. Saint John Chrysostom hom. lxxv.—It may also be understood of the Jews, who are to be converted to the faith of Jesus Christ towards the end of the world. Menochius.
