• As to God he is far away; man easily gets rid of Him; he will render Him some outward services and make his boast in them. But man is near; his selfishness makes him alive to the performance of this precept, which, if observed, would be his happiness—make this world a kind of paradise. Disobedience to it is repeated every moment, in the circumstances of each day, which bring this selfishness into play. All that surrounds him (his social ties) makes man conscious of these violations of this precept, even when the soul would not of itself be troubled about it. Here the lawyer’s heart betrays itself. Who, he asks, is my neighbor? (“Luke 10:1-37” by J.N. Darby)
• He inquired who was his neighbor; as though he would infer that, granted he had sufficiently attractive neighbors, he would find no difficulty in loving them. (“Luke 10” by F.B. Hole)

e
Aorist tense; difficult to express in English. It gives the sense that he wanted to make out that he was in that state, not that he was obtaining it. see ch. 9.60,61, where "suffer," "allow," and "bid adieu" are all aorists.

a
Many MSS. read "justifying" in the aorist tense, which the Edd. adopt; while others give the present tense.
