Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 22:25

"And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors." — Luke 22:25 (ASV)

And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

The people are compelled to use sweet terms to express a very bitter bondage; so they call their tyrants "benefactors."
