Today's reading needs to be unpacked to grasp the full meaning of the Gospel. Likely, this Gospel is of the same caliber as many of Jesus' statements that were meant to challenge the people and focus on the passion of the teachings. Other examples of this model include Matthew 18:9: "It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell." Another example is from Matthew 18:8–9, where He adds the hand and foot together: "If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter life lame or maimed than having two hands or two feet to be thrown into eternal fire." Likely, these readings were not meant to be taken literally; they powerfully describe the passion of Jesus' teaching.
