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 (), is manifest from what immediately follows: "I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name."
