INTRODUCTION TO Isaiah 61 In this chapter both Christ and the church are introduced speaking, in their turns. It begins with the words of Christ, describing his work and office; his qualifications for it; the several parts and branches of it; and the ends to be answered by it; Isaiah 61:1, the reparation of the church; the feeding it by strangers; its being a holy priesthood; its enjoying the...

But ye shall be named the priests of the Lord,.... Or, "and ye shall be named", c. which Jerom understands of the builders of cities, pastors of flocks, the ploughmen and vinedressers, the strangers and the sons of the alien, that these also should be called priests: but rather it designs the Jews, when they shall be called and converted, and when there will be no more the distinction of priests...

But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord:- This was true of God’s ancient people, but it is true of us also.

Men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. God’s chosen people are his children; all the rest of mankind are only his servants, and the servants must wait upon the children whether they like it or not. Even of the angels in heaven it is written, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister...

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. Because of the sin of his people, the aliens and the foreigners trample upon them; but if you and I...
