Other servants - There is not a moment in which God does not shower down his gifts upon men, and require the fruit of them. Various instruments are used to bring sinners to God. There are prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers: some with his gift after this manner, and some after that. The true disciples of Christ have been persecuted in all ages, and the greatest share of the persecution has fallen upon the ministers of his religion; for there have always been good and bad husbandmen, and the latter have persecuted the former.
More than the first - Or, more honorable, so I think πλειονας should be translated; for, as the fullness of the time approached, each prophet more clearly and fully pointed out the coming of Christ.
Our translation, which says, more than the first, conveys no meaning at all. Πλειον is the meaning I have given it above, in Mat 6:25. πλειον της τροφης, of More Value than food; and in Num 22:15 πλειους και εντιμοτερους, persons higher in dignity and office. |

18 And all the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], great [01419] and small [06996], and the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king [04428], and of his princes [08269]; all these he brought [0935] to Babylon [0894].
16 But they mocked [03931] the messengers [04397] of God [0430], and despised [0959] his words [01697], and misused [08591] his prophets [05030], until the wrath [02534] of the LORD [03068] arose [05927] against his people [05971], till there was no remedy [04832].
13 Yet the LORD [03068] testified [05749] against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], by [03027] all the prophets [05030], and by all the seers [02374], saying [0559], Turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870], and keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708], according to all the law [08451] which I commanded [06680] your fathers [01], and which I sent [07971] to you by [03027] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030].

Is [2076] not [3780] the life [5590] more than [4119] meat [5160], and [2532] the body [4983] than raiment [1742]?
