EXPLANATION

Verse 14. The Father. Grotius asserts boldly, that it should be, “my Father,” and that some Christian has changed this. But his authority may be rejected, when he brings no proof; and Bossuet has solidly refuted him. The passage clearly proves the belief of the second person, and seems to allude to Psalms 109:1. Drus. Vat. and so forth Calmet.
