Study Note
The hyperbolic call to cut off a hand or pluck out an eye rather than be cast into Gehenna employs the ancient rhetorical device of 'better than' (tob min) to press the absolute priority of eternal life over temporal well-being. Gehenna (the Valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem) had accumulated associations with child sacrifice (2 Kings 23:10), the city's refuse fire, and eschatological judgment, making it the most vivid Jewish image for the place of final punishment. The repeated refrain 'where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched' quotes Isaiah 66:24, the final verse of Isaiah's scroll, consciously invoking the last great vision of universal judgment. Jesus' language does not mandate literal self-mutilation but demands radical severance from whatever occasions persistent sin.
