Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. 27 Seeking heavenly treasure means serving others and honoring God by doing so.
