# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to teach his disciples about alms.

# General Information:

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

# do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing

This is a metaphor for total secrecy. Just as hands usually work together and each can be said to "know" what the other is doing at all times, you should not let even those closest to you know when you are giving to the poor. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# your gift may be given in secret

This can be stated in active form. AT: "you can give to the poor without other people knowing" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
