{Rightly} (orth(9373)). 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} (ou lambaneis pros(9370)on). Dost
not take the face (or personal appearance) as the test. It is a
Hebraism from which the word pros(9370)olempsia ( 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
lepeis here.
