17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: a“Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: a“I will provoke you to jealousy by thosewhoare not a nation, I will move you to anger by a bfoolish nation.”
20 But Isaiah is very bold and says: a“I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 But to Israel he says: a“All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”
Romans 10:19-21 Did not Israel know? Why, the Jew is supposed to object, if the Gospel has been extended so widely, is the greater portion of Israel in ignorance that the Gentiles were to be saved? Paul replies that Israel should have known: First, Moses saith. (1) Moses foretells the call of another people to the favor of God (Deuteronomy 32:21); Esaias . . . saith. (2) Isaiah still more plainly predicts the salvation of the Gentiles in Isaiah 65:1, and (3) he predicts the falling away of Israel in Isaiah 65:2.
