And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
 

15:12 again, Esaias saith. This reference is taken from the great Messianic promise of Isaiah 11:10, when Christ (“the root of Jesse,” the father of Israel’s greatest king, David—hence both “the root and the offspring of David,” as in His claim in Revelation 22:16) will reign over all nations, both Israel and the Gentiles.
