SCRIPTURE

"Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged." — Luke 7:43 (ASV)

I suppose (υπολαμβανω). Old verb, originally to take up from under, to bear away as on high, to take up in speech (Luke 10:30), to take up in mind or to assume as here and Ac 2:15. Here with an air of supercilious indifference (Plummer).

The most (το πλειον). The more.

Rightly (ορθως). Correctly. Socrates was fond of πανυ ορθως. The end of the argument.
