Mateus 5:27 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 5:27

Ye have heard that it was said
These forms of speech, as well as what follows,

by them of old time,
have been explained, in ver. 21. The law here mentioned,

thou shalt not commit adultery,
is recorded in ( Exodus 20:14 ) and the meaning of our Lord is, not that the then present Jews had heard that such a law had been delivered "to the ancients", their fathers, at Mount Sinai; for that they could read in their Bibles: but they had received it by tradition, that the sense of it, which had been given to their ancestors, by the ancient doctors of the church, was, that this law is to be taken strictly, as it lies, and only regards the sin of uncleanness in married persons; or, what was strictly adultery, and that actual; so that it had no respect to fornication, or unchaste thoughts, words, or actions, but that single act only.

Mateus 5:27 In-Context

25 Concilia-te depressa com o teu adversário, enquanto estás no caminho com ele; para que não aconteça que o adversário te entregue ao guarda, e sejas lançado na prisão.

26 Em verdade te digo que de maneira nenhuma sairás dali enquanto não pagares o último ceitil.

27 Ouvistes que foi dito: Não adulterarás.

28 Eu, porém, vos digo que todo aquele que olhar para uma mulher para a cobiçar, já em seu coração cometeu adultério com ela.

29 Se o teu olho direito te faz tropeçar, arranca-o e lança-o de ti; pois te é melhor que se perca um dos teus membros do que seja todo o teu corpo lançado no inferno.
