Summary/Abstract: A fragment of Sermon on the Mount about the eye and the light (Matt 6: 22-23) makes exegetists difficult to interpret. Most of them refer to different biblical and extra biblical traditions, which are the basic context for the passage. This article refers to the interpretation of Jesus’ saying by the Natural Semantic Metalanguage method, developed by Anna Wierzbicka, professor of linguistics. The main criteria for text analysis are: the criterion of depth and the criterion of coherence. The text analysis includes the context of the Bible as a whole, some of the Church’s documents, which references to discussed biblical subject, and also language philosophy issues. In that one allows to reach a few propositions, which are simple, transparent for people of all cultures and languages, expressing the essence of Jesus’ words, and the three universal notions of truth, good and evil that underlie Jesus’ teaching of natural light.
