Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) At his understanding and answers.--The first word seems to point to the discernment which showed itself in the questions as well as the answers. The egotism of Josephus leads him to speak of himself as having, at the age of fourteen--when he too had become "a child of the Law"--caused a like astonishment by his intelligence; so that the chief priests and principal men of the city used to come and consult him upon difficult questions in the interpretation of the Law (Life, c. 1). The fact is so far interesting as showing that the class of teachers retained the same kind of interest in quick and promising scholars.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAndδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.allπάντες (pantes)Adjective - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 3956: All, the whole, every kind of.
