lie rewards the faithful and executes punishment on tlie disloyal. The application is to the Second Coming of the Lord.
The term Trpcir^cia (from irpia^v^, 'old') belongs to classical Greelc, and it contains an expression of the rule that responsible duties of statecraft are naturally entrusted to approved elders and heads of families. St. Paul uses the corresponding verb in 2 Co 5-", where he describes the Christian preachers as 'ambassadors for Christ,' and in Eph 6^" the idea is repeated. Perhaps we may- connect the occurrence of 7rpf(T/3eia in the Third Gospel with St. Luke's apparent preference of ' presbyter ' to ' bishop' (Ac 20"), and his repeated use of prcshjtcrion for the body of Jew ish elder;; (Lk 22"'', Ac 4^ 22"). For the teims are exjirL-ssive of dignity, and in St. Luke's literary style a sense of dignity is clu.-u ly shown.
