On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Now in these verses we area cautioned against hypocrisy in giving alms. Our being bid to take heed of it intimates that it is sin. We are in great danger of; it is a subtle sin; vain-glory insinuates itself into what we do ere we are aware.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In suing out the pardon of our sins, the great plea we have to rely upon is the satisfaction that was made to the justice of God for the sin of man, by the dying of the Lord Jesus our Surety, or rather Bail to the action, that undertook our discharge. (2.) An argument to enforce this petition; as we forgive our debtors. This is not a plea of merit, but a plea of grace.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof--An admirable practical maxim, and better rendered in our version than in almost any other, not excepting the preceding English ones. Every day brings its own cares; and to anticipate is only to double them.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

The eye is the lamp of the body - And what the eye is to the body, the intention is to the soul. We may observe with what exact propriety our Lord places purity of intention between worldly desires and worldly cares, either of which directly tend to destroy. If thine eye be single - Singly fixed on God and heaven, thy whole soul will be full of holiness and happiness.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

The morrow shall take thought for itself - That is, be careful for the morrow when it comes. The evil thereof - Speaking after the manner of men. But all trouble is, upon the whole, a real good.
