Matthew 5:27 in context

Matthew 5:24–30

24

leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

25

Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

26

Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.

27
Selected verse

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’

28

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

30

If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
