Haydock's commentary
Loaded. Theglathphalassar took away whole tribes, (2 Paralipomenon v. 26.) the year after this. Yet these people were the first enlightened with the rays of the gospel, (Matthew iv. 13.) though so much despised, John vii. 52. (Calmet)
Here Christ preached first. But after his passion, few Jews believed in him. (Worthington)
