This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

24. διϋλίζοντες. Wetstein quotes from Galen: εἶτα ἄρας ἀπὸ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ διυλίσας εἰς ἕτερον ἀγγεῖον ἐᾷ ψυγῆναι.

The sense of contrast and the humour of the illustration are brought out by the antithetic position of the words. In the first respect the illustration, ch. Mat 7:3-5, is somewhat similar; for the contrast of opposites cp. ch. Mat 13:31 and Mat 19:24.
