This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2. κριτής τις. ‘A certain judge.’ The little story is not improbably taken from life, and doubtless the inferior judges under such a sovereignty as that of the Herods might afford many instances of carelessness and venality.
τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος κ.τ.λ. On the μὴ see Luk 13:11. The description of a character perfectly abandoned. He is living in violation of both of the two great commandments; in contradiction to the spirit of both Tables of the Decalogue. His conduct is the reverse of the noble advice of Jehoshaphat to his judges, 2Ch 19:6-7; (2Co 8:21). ἐντρέπομαι more usually in classical Greek governs a genitive. It is found in Luk 20:13; Mat 21:37; 2Th 3:15.
