Matius 6:23

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!

Matius 22:29

22:29 Jesus ²  answered them, “You are deceived, ³  because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God.

[6:23]  ¹ tn Or “if your eye is sick” (L&N 23.149).

[6:23]  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.

[22:29]  ² tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:29]  ³ tn Or “mistaken” (cf. BDAG 822 s.v. πλανάω 2.c.γ).
