Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. This expression, which apparently was more than once used by the Lord, in this place clearly has an historical reference, and sadly predicts the rejection of Israel, not only in this present world. "There above (on earth)How many hold themselves for mighty kings,Who here like swine shall wallow in the mire,Leaving behind them horrible dispraise!"(Dante, 'Inferno.')

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) And, behold, there are last . . .--See Note on Matthew 19:30. In point of time, it may be noticed, this is the first utterance of the great law that God's judgment reverses man's. When it was uttered in reference to the young ruler, it was but a fresh application of the wider law. Here the application is primarily national. Israel had been the first of nations, but it should become, in its outward fortunes, the last, and the heathen who had been "without hope and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12) should gain the high pre-eminence of being the heirs of the kingdom. The individual application of the words grows naturally, however, out of the national.
