Matthew
Matthew 18:9WEB·traditional attribution
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehennaof fire.
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.
