See on it cannot be, Luk 13:33.\nOffences\nSee on offend, Mat 5:29; and compare on Mat 16:23.\nIt were better (\u03bb\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u1fd6)\nOnly here in New Testament. The verb means to pay what is due, and is equivalent to our phrase, it pays.\nMillstone\nCompare Mat 18:6. The correct reading here is \u03bb\u03af\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2 \u03bc\u03c5\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2, a millstone; not a great millstone as Matthew\nThrown (\u1f14\u1fe4\u1fe5\u03b9\u03c0\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9)\nHurled: with an underlying sense of violence, called out by so great an outrage.\nRebuke\nSee on straitly charged, Luk 9:21.\nSycamine\nOr mulberry. Luke distinguishes between this and \u03c3\u03c5\u03ba\u03bf\u03bc\u03bf\u03c1\u03ad\u03b1, the fig-mulberry (Luk 19:4).

The progress of the kingdom cannot be defined by visible marks like that of an earthly kingdom. Its growth in the world is a process of pervasion, like the working of the leaven through the lump.\nWithin\nBetter, in the midst of. Meyer acutely remarks that \"you refers to the Pharisees, in whose hearts nothing certainly found a place less than did the ethical kingdom of God.\" Moreover, Jesus is not speaking of the inwardness of the kingdom, but of its presence. \"The whole language of the kingdom of heaven being within men, rather than men being within the kingdom, is modern\" (Trench, after Meyer).\nLighteneth (\u1f00\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ac\u03c0\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1)\nOnly here and Luk 24:4.\nRejected\nSee on disallowed, Pe1 2:4; and tried, Pe1 1:7.\nGoods\nSee on Mat 12:29.\nOn the house-top\nSee on Mat 24:17.\nShall preserve (\u03b6\u03c9\u03bf\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9)\nOnly here and Act 7:19.
