Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

If I have spoken, &c.--"if I spoke" evil, in reply to the high priest. (Also see on Mar 14:54.) if well--He does not say "If not" evil, as if His reply were merely unobjectionable: "well" seems to challenge more than this as due to His remonstrance This shows that Mat 5:39 is not to be taken to the letter.
