But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
But this people, х ho (G3588) ochlos (G3793) houtos (G3778)] - rather, 'this multitude,' this ignorant rabble. Pity these important distinctions between the different classes, so marked in the original of this Gospel, should not be also in our version.
Who knoweth not the law - meaning, by school-learning, which only perverted the law by human additions,
Are cursed - a kind of swearing at them, out of mingled rage and scorn.
