Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:24

_ _ For if thou wert cut — “wert cut off”

_ _ from the olive tree, which is wild by nature, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, etc. — This is just the converse of Romans 11:21 : “As the excision of the merely engrafted Gentiles through unbelief is a thing much more to be expected than was the excision of the natural Israel, before it happened; so the restoration of Israel, when they shall be brought to believe in Jesus, is a thing far more in the line of what we should expect, than the admission of the Gentiles to a standing which they never before enjoyed.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:24

Contrary to nature — For according to nature, we graft the fruitful branch into the wild stock; but here the wild branch is grafted into the fruitful stock.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:24

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by (z) nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a (a) good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?

(z) Understand nature, not as it was first made, but as it was corrupted in Adam, and so passed on from him to his posterity.

(a) Into the people of the Jews, whom God had sanctified only by his grace: and he speaks of the whole nation, not of any one part.
