This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Behold
Following the old reading, ἴδε. All the best texts read εἰ δὲ, now if. So Rev.
Bits (χαλινοὺς)
Only here and Rev 14:20. It may be rendered either bit, as A. V., or bridle, as Rev., but bridle is preferable because it corresponds with the verb to bridle (Jam 3:2) which is compounded with this noun.
Horses
The position in the sentence is emphatic.
We turn about (μετάγομεν)
Used by James only.
