This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is worshipped (θεραπεύεται)
Incorrect. Render, as Rev., served. Luke often uses the word in the sense of to heal or cure; but this is its primary sense. See on Luk 5:15. It refers to the clothing of the images of the gods in splendid garments, and bringing them costly gifts and offerings of food and drink.
As though he needed (προσδεόμενος)
Properly, “needed anything in addition (πρός) to what he already has.”
