This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
It were better (λυσιτελεῖ)
Only here in New Testament. The verb means to pay what is due, and is equivalent to our phrase, it pays.
Millstone
Compare Mat 18:6. The correct reading here is λίθος μυλικός, a millstone; not a great millstone as Matthew
Thrown (ἔῤῥιπται)
Hurled: with an underlying sense of violence, called out by so great an outrage.
