unto one of the least of these my brethren] Gr. unto one of these my brethren, which are the least: That is, which are least set by in the eyes of the world. It is a greater token of love to Christ, to do good to his for his sake, when he is absent, then to do it to him, if he were present: and that which is done to a mean Christian, for his sake, shall be rewarded, as well as that which is done to an apostle, chap. 10. 41, 42. for Christ here counteth the meanest Christians his brethren.
