But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
But Esaias is very bold, and saith - i:e., is still plainer, and goes even the length of saying,
I was found of them that sought me not (that is, until I sought them); I was made ('became') manifest unto them that asked not after me - that is, until the invitation from Me came to them. That the calling of the Gentiles was meant by these words of the prophet (Isaiah 65:1), is manifest from what immediately follows: "I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name."
