Ver. 12. Not unto themselves] In regard of the accomplishment of those oracles that they uttered; and yet to themselves, in regard of their right and interest therein.
They did minister] None must hold themselves too good to serve the saints.
The angels desire to look into] To look wishly and intently, as the cherubims of old looked into the mercy seat, Exodus 25:18,19. παρακυψαι, Prono capite et propenso cello accurate introspicere.
