JESUS' CONCLUDING COMMAND TO HIS ANTAGONISTS Do not judge (krino) according to appearance, but judge (krino) with righteous (dikaios) judgment (krisis) - Appearance is opsis which refers to outward or external appearance. In essence He tells them their judgment was wrong, for they had been judging His action by mere appearance. They had only a superficial understanding of the Scriptures. Like we sometimes say they majored on the minors and missed the majors! The missed the truth, deeper intent of many Scriptures (cf. Mt. 23:23; Jn 5:39-40). No righteous judgment can be come to if appearances decide. -- Marcus Dods He commands them to cease their superficial judgment. Do not judge is present imperative with a negative which means to stop doing what you are already doing! They were looking at the outside like Samuel did with Jesse's son in 1Sa 16:7+. It is not righteous judgment to judge a man without truly listening to what He has to say as Nicodemus reminded the Jewish leaders in John 7:51 declaring "Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”" The positive command to judge is aorist imperative which calls for an urgent response - do this now! Ultimately, Jesus is actually calling them to change their mind, do an about face, to repent and bring forth fruit (here = righteous judgment) according to repentance! G Campbell
