Matthew 5:15

Context
5:15 People 1  do not light a lamp and put it under a basket 2  but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

Matthew 6:22

Context

6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, 3  your whole body will be full of light.

1 tn Grk “Nor do they light.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

2 tn Or “a bowl”; this refers to any container for dry material of about eight liters (two gallons) capacity. It could be translated “basket, box, bowl” (L&N 6.151).

3 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 concerning money, in which case the “eye” is a metonymy for the entire person (“if you are generous”).
