And they caught him, etc..] This clause is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions, though it seems proper to be retained; and denotes the rudeness and violence with which the prophets of the Lord were used by the Jewish nation: and beat him: either with their fists, or with rods, and scourges, till the skin was flayed off: and sent him away empty; without any fruit to carry with him, or give an account of, to the owner of the vineyard.
