One Church Father comments on this verse

Cyrill of Alexandria

5th centuryChurch Father

Even the Gentile nations, along with the children of Israel, are called to submit to the authority of the Savior and to follow the same path of sacrificial living and spiritual exaltation. He made this clear by indicating that non-Israelites should not be subject to different laws than those who are part of Israel; for there exists a singular path for all that leads to a connection with God the Father. This path is Christ, for as the Apostle Peter proclaimed, ‘For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved’ (Acts 4:12).
