Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:17-18

_ _ And if — rather, “But if”; that is, “If notwithstanding this consecration of Abraham’s race to God.

_ _ some of the branches — The mass of the unbelieving and rejected Israelites are here called “some,” not, as before, to meet Jewish prejudice (see on Romans 3:3, and on “not all” in Romans 10:16), but with the opposite view of checking Gentile pride.

_ _ and thou, being a wild olive, wert — “wast”

_ _ grafted in among them — Though it is more usual to graft the superior cutting upon the inferior stem, the opposite method, which is intended here, is not without example.

_ _ and with them partakest — “wast made partaker,” along with the branches left, the believing remnant.

_ _ of the root and fatness of the olive tree — the rich grace secured by covenant to the true seed of Abraham.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:17

Thou — O gentile. Being a wild olive tree — Had the graft been nobler than the stock, yet its dependance on it for life and nourishment would leave it no room to boast against it. How much less, when, contrary to what is practised among men, the wild olive tree is engrafted on the good!

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:17

(10) And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in (q) among them, and with them (r) partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

(10) There is no reason why the Gentiles who have obtained mercy, should triumph over the Jews who condemn the grace of God, seeing they are grafted in place of the Jews. But let them rather take heed, that also in them is not found that which is worthily condemned in the Jews. And from this also the general doctrine may be gathered and taken, that we ought to be zealous for God's glory, even in regards to our neighbours: and we should be very far from bragging and glorying because we are preferred before others by a singular grace.

(q) In place of those branches which are broken off.

(r) It is against the common manner of farming, that the barren juice of the young shoot is changed with the juice of the good tree.
