Francis Wright Beare (The Earliest Records of Jesus [New York: Abingdon, 1962] 149), following Adolf Schlatter, interprets the saying on the basis of Mark 9:42: “Christian believers must avoid becoming a cause of offence to their fellows, and must discipline themselves without waiting for the Church to pronounce sentence, out offear of the inescapablejudgement of God.”

Rabbinic discussion of Exod 20:14 and Isa 1:15 (“Your hands are full of blood”)—in the discussion of the law of purity with respect to menstruation—requests that the hand of a male offender be cut off; cf.
