Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Life for any man's life, A.V.; but only for but, A.V, I exhort you to be of good cheer. Mr. Hobart remarks that this "has all the look of a doctor's expression, παραινεῖν being the term for a physician giving his advice," and "εὔθυμος εὐθυμεῖν, and εὔθυμως being used in medical language in reference to the sick keeping up their spirits, as opposed to ἀθυμία and δυσθυμυία (see ver. 25, note). Loss; ἀποβολή, only here and Romans 11:15; but found in Plato, Aristotle, Josephus, Plutarch, etc. Mark how the message of mercy and love follows the chastisement and its fruit of self-humiliation.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) And now I exhort you to be of good cheer.--Look and tone, we may well believe, helped the words. It was something in that scene of misery and dejection to see one man stand forward with a brave, calm confidence.For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you.--The quiet courage of the speaker's tone must at once have struck the listeners, even before they heard the grounds on which that courage rested.
