2370. 'Stand back' means their angry threats, that is, threats against the good that flows from charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'Lot' as the good that flows from charity, to whom, and concerning whom, these words were addressed. That they are angry threats is evident from these words themselves and from those that follow. It may also be evident that they embody the consideration that if he spoke about or commended that good any further they would utterly reject it, meant by 'stand back'.

Luke 12:58-59

Studie

      

58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
