Luke 7:43

I suppose -I imagine;" -I presume." The original word has a shade of supercilious irony (comp. Acts 2:15), as though Simon thought the question very trivial, and never dreamt that it could have any bearing on himself.

rightly There is a touch of gentle sarcasm in the use of this word, which involves Simon's self-condemnation. It is the word so often adopted by Socrates as one of his implements of dialectic irony.
