NASB | Matthew 5:38 ¶ "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:38 ¶ "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH [punishment that fits the offense].' [Ex 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deut 19:21] |
Subject: where is it? |
Bible Note: Huh? I thought Exodus 21:24 was part of the written Law of Moses? When the passage says "said", it means it was "said" by Moses, who wrote down the Law. Matthew 5 contains a number of references to "you have heard that it was said", which all refer back to the Law, i.e. verses 21, 27, 33, 38 and 43. How about 2 Corinthians 3:7 then? That refers to the passing of the 10 commandments ("Law") for sure! It was the 10 Commandments that were written on stone, I believe? God bless, Sheima |
