Luke 18:4

4 et nolebat per multum tempus post haec autem dixit intra se et si Deum non timeo nec hominem revereor

Luke 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:4

And he would not for a while
He would give no ear to her cries, nor take her cause in hand, nor right her wrongs, and clear her of her adversary:

but afterward he said within himself;
as he was considering the matter in his own mind, and reflecting on this woman's case and the frequent application she had made to him:

though I fear not God, nor regard man;
a monster in iniquity he was, to say so of himself; for though the character belongs to many, there are few that are so impudent in sin, as to take it to themselves, and glory in it.

Luke 18:4 In-Context

2 dicens iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate qui Deum non timebat et hominem non verebatur

3 vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa et veniebat ad eum dicens vindica me de adversario meo

4 et nolebat per multum tempus post haec autem dixit intra se et si Deum non timeo nec hominem revereor

5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua vindicabo illam ne in novissimo veniens suggillet me

6 ait autem Dominus audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit
