Luke 17:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by [or 'directly' eutheoos (G2112 )], when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? By this way of arranging and pointing the words, the sense is obscured. It would be clearer thus: 'Which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him, when he is come, from the field, Go directly, and sit down to meat.'

Luke 17:7

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
