Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Delivering thee from the people (of the Jews), and from the Gentiles. He was all along the object of Jewish Delivering thee from the people (of the Jews), and from the Gentiles. He was all along the object of Jewish malignity, and was at that moment in the hands of the Gentiles; yet he calmly reposes on his Master's assurances of deliverance from both, at the same time taking all precautions for safety and vindicating all his legal rights.
Unto whom now I send thee. The emphatic "I" (says Bengel) denotes the authority of the Sender.
