V. gorgeous, bright (see below) ]: ἐσθής, Lk. xxiii. 11; Acts x. 30; Jas. ii. 2 sq.; λίνον [L Tr WH λίθον], Rev. xv. 6; Biaowos, xix. 8; neut. plur. splendid [(R. V. sumptuous) | things, i. e. elegancies or luxuries in dress and style, Rev. xviii. 14. The word is sometimes used of brilliant and glistening whiteness (hence λαμπρὰ τήβεννα, toga candida, Polyb. 10, 4,8; 10,5, 1); accordingly the Vuls. in Acts x. 30; Jas. ii. 2; Rev. xv. 6 renders it by candidus; and some interpreters, following the Vulg. (“indutum veste alba”), understand ‘white apparel’ to be spoken of in Lk. xxiii. 11 [A. V. gorgeous; (see above) ]; cf. Keim iii. p. 380 note [Eng. trans. vi. 104].
