Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) I feared thee, because thou art an austere man.--The Greek adjective (from which the English is derived) is not used elsewhere in the New Testament. Literally, it means dry, and so, hard and stiff. In 2 Maccabees 14:30 it is translated "churlish." On the plea of the wicked servant, see Note on Matthew 25:22.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekForγάρ (gar)ConjunctionStrong's 1063: For.
