Matthew
Matthew 18:9BSB·traditional attribution
And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
Albert Barnes Presbyterian
Verse 9. (d) "enter into life" (e) "two eyes"
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
The disciples asked who would be greatest in the kingdom, not from hunger for holiness but for name and rank. They had dreamed of a temporal kingdom with external pomp and power, fastened upon Christ's words of glory while forgetting His sufferings. Many love to hear of privileges and crown while overlooking the yoke and cross.
