John 18:23
If I have spoken, etc.—"if I spoke" evil, in reply to the high priest. (Also see on Mark 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 Matthew 5:39 is not to be taken to the letter.
