Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) And they said unto him, Lord . . .--The touch of wonder, perhaps of indignation, is peculiar to St. Luke. It can scarcely be thought of as simply an element of dramatic vividness. It foreshadows the feelings with which men have in all ages looked on those greater than themselves. They grudge the influence and opportunities for good which are transferred from those who have not used them to those that will. May we not think of some such feeling as working among those members of the Church of the Circumcision, who did not hold out to Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship (Galatians 2:9)? When Galatia received the gospel from one who had already planted churches far and wide, St. Luke may well have seen in it an illustration of the pound taken from the slothful servant and given to him that had ten.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek‘Master,’Κύριε (Kyrie)Noun - Vocative Masculine SingularStrong's 2962: Lord, master, sir; the Lord.
