Matthew 6:23

Context
6:23 But if your eye is diseased,¹ your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Matthew 19:8

Context
19:8 Jesus² said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts,³ but from the beginning it was not this way.

¹tn Or “if your eye 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.

²tc A few important mss (א Φ pc) have the name “Jesus” here, but it is probably not original. Nevertheless, this translation routinely specifies the referents of pronouns to improve clarity, so that has been done here.

tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Grk “heart” (a collective singular).
