Commentary on Luke 22:252 voices
The kings of the Gentiles - The kings of the nations, or of the earth. They do this, and it is to be expected of them, and it is right. Our Lord does not mean to say that it was wrong that there should be such authority, but that his kingdom was to be of a different character, and they were not to expect it there. Over them - That is, over the nations. Are called benefactors - The word benefactor is applied to one who bestows favor on another.
