# General Information:

Jesus is talking to a group of people about what they as individuals should and should not do. All instances of "you" and "your" are plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])

# But I say

Jesus agrees with God and his word, but he does not agree with the way the religious leaders have applied God's word. The "I" is emphatic. This indicates that what Jesus says is just as important as the original commands. Try to translate this phrase in a way that shows that emphasis. See how you translated this in [Matthew 5:22](../05/22.md).

# I say to you ... your enemies ... pray ... persecute you

All instances of "you" and "your," as well as the command to pray, are plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
