| Summary: | The concept of implicature as defined by Leech is explained and then employed to interpret the motives for Peter's question and the intent of Jesus's answer. It is concluded that Peter is experiencing the possible extention of rewards and the responsibilities mentioned in Luke 12:35-40 as a threat to the disciples' priveleged position. His question indicates that he has no comprehension of the true foundation of their priveleged position.The only threat to their privelege is their lack of concern for others. |
