‏ Luke 20:21

Rightly ( ορθως ). Matthew (Mt 22:16) notes that these "spies" were "disciples" (students) of the Pharisees and Mark (Mr 12:13) adds that the Herodians are also involved in the plot. These bright theologues are full of palaver and flattery and openly endorse the teaching of Jesus as part of their scheme.

Acceptest not the person of any ( ου λαμβανεις προσωπον ). Dost not take the face (or personal appearance) as the test. It is a Hebraism from which the word προσωπολεμψια (Jas 2:1) comes. Originally it meant to lift the face, to lift the countenance, to regard the face, to accept the face value. See Mr 12:13-17; Mt 22:15-22 for discussion of details here. They both have βλεπεις here.
