He shall come = [Some answered] he, &c. Compare Matthew 21:41 .
others = others (of the same kind); i.e. a new Israel, not a different Gentile nation, which would be heteros. App-124 .
they said : i.e. others who heard it said.
God forbid = May it never be! Greek. me genoito. Hebrew. chalilah = the opposite of "Amen "(Genesis 44:7 , Genesis 44:17 . Joshua 22:29 ). Occurs only here in the Gospels, but ten times in Romans.
