Haydock's commentary
Of them, Gentiles; (ver. 19.) some of whom alone will be properly priests, though all enjoy the title in a figurative sense, 1 Peter ii. 9. The Jews strive in vain to elude this text. (Calmet)
Under the law, one family alone enjoyed this honour: but Christ chooses the most deserving pastors. (Worthington)
