Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) And thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.--At first sight the words seem to suggest lower motives than those by which the disciples of Christ should regulate their lives--an artificial and calculating rather than a real humility. Three explanations may be given of what is a very real difficulty--(1) That all precepts bearing directly upon social ethics start naturally, as in the Book of Proverbs (from which the form of the teaching is, indeed, directly derived, comp. Proverbs 25:6-7), from the prudential rather than the spiritual view of life. (2) That there is in this counsel an adaptation of teaching that, left to itself, would have been higher, to the weaknesses of those who listened; a method, that as we have noted elsewhere, can hardly be defined in strictly accurate language, but, in its merely human aspects, might be regarded as involving some tinge of grave and solemn irony. From their own point of view even, they were grasping at the shadow and losing the substance, poor as that substance was. Their restless vanity was suicidal. (3) There is the deep ethical truth that every victory obtained, even under the influence of a lower motive, over a dominant weakness or strong temptation, strengthens the habit of self-control, and that the power thus developed tends in the nature of things to go on to further and yet further victories.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekThenκαὶ (kai)ConjunctionStrong's 2532: And, even, also, namely. theὁ (ho)Article - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 3588: The, the definite article.
