Discovery BoxLuke 11:34 
Context11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, 1 your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, 2 your body is full of darkness.
Luke 22:53
Context22:53 Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, 3 you did not arrest me. 4 But this is your hour, 5 and that of the power 6 of darkness!”
1 tn Or “sound” (so L&N 23.132 and most scholars). A few scholars take this word to mean something like “generous” here (L&N 57.107), partly due to the immediate context of this saying in Matt 6:22 which concerns money, in which case the “eye” is a metonymy for the entire person (“if you are generous”).
2 tn Or “when it is sick” (L&N 23.149).
sn There may be a slight wordplay here, as this term can also mean “evil,” so the figure uses a term that points to the real meaning of being careful as to what one pays attention to or looks at.
3 tn Grk “in the temple.”
4 tn Grk “lay hands on me.”
5 tn Or “your time.”
6 tn Or “authority,” “domain.”
