Footnotes
- 26 The pronouns in this verse are singular while the pronouns in vv. 19–20 are plural. The change to singular emphasizes personal responsibility as opposed to corporate responsibility; even if others do not listen, the one who hears Jesus’ commands should obey.
- 27 Seeking heavenly treasure means serving others and honoring God by doing so.
- 28 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”).
