Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 18:2

"saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:" — Luke 18:2 (ASV)

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

It is a great pity for any city and for any country where the judges do not fear God, where they feel that they have been put into a high office in which they may do just as they please. There were such judges in former times even in this land; God grant that we may not see any more like them!

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

He was a most unfit person to be a judge, as many in Eastern cities still are. They are ready enough to take bribes, but they are not so prompt in giving just judgments. They generally attend to the business of the rich and the powerful, but neglect the poor and needy. So it was with this judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man.
