exercise lordship The word is used in an unfavourable sense. It is applied in Acts 19:16 to the man possessed with an evil spirit prevailing againstand overcomingthe seven sons of Sceva. St Peter himself uses it in his first Epistle (Mark 5:3), recalling possibly this very incident, where he warns the elders of the Church "not to be lords overGod's heritage," or as it is in the margin, "to overrule." The preposition in the original is emphatic, and gives the force of oppressive, tyrannical rule, where the ruler uses his rights for the diminution of the ruled and the exaltation of himself. The same unfavourable sense attaches to the word rendered "exercise authority," which only occurs here and in the parallel in Matthew 20:25.
