This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 5:40. Χιτῶνα, the tunic) or inner garment.-ἱμάτιον, the vest) or outer robe. These are inverted in Luk 6:29. (Cf. in the same chapter, Mat 5:44, with Mat 7:16, for a similar inversion in the case of the grapes and the figs.) The sense remains the same; sc. Give up both. The ἱμάτιον was more precious than the κιτῶν. See Mar 13:16.-σου, thine) by right.
