ACC ~ Romans 10 v16

NOT ALL HEEDED THE GOSPEL. ORIGEN: Not all the Gentiles have believed the gospel nor have all the Jews, but many have, and many more Gentiles have believed than Jews. In this passage, “who has believed really means few have believed.” … Isaiah here is speaking prophetically in the person of the apostles, to whom the work of preaching was entrusted. It was they, when they saw how few believers there were in Israel, who exclaimed: “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

PELAGIUS: The prophets were never sent to the Gentiles. If not all those to whom the prophets were sent obeyed, how much less those to whom no one was sent! PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: The first part of this [verse] ought to be read as a question to which the second part is the apostle’s answer. … There is nothing surprising about this, for Isaiah also testifies to the small number of believers. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.
