ΚΡΙΤΕ, κριτε
KRITE, krite
Sounds Like: KREE-teh
Translations: judge
From the root: ΚΡΙΤΗΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is the vocative singular form of the noun 'κρίτης' (kritēs), meaning 'judge'. It is used when directly addressing a judge or someone acting in a judicial capacity. In the provided examples, it appears to be a misspelling or variant of 'ὑποκριταί' (hypocritai) or 'ὑποκριτά' (hypokrita), which is the vocative plural or singular of 'ὑποκριτής' (hypokritēs), meaning 'hypocrite'. Given the context of 'scribes and Pharisees' being addressed, 'hypocrite' is the intended meaning, making 'ΚΡΙΤΕ' in this context a likely scribal error for 'ΥΠΟΚΡΙΤΕ' (hypocrite) or 'ΥΠΟΚΡΙΤΑΙ' (hypocrites).
