Idioms of the Bible

If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:29

That passage is not telling you to gouge your eye out. "Evil eye" was an idiom for "stingy" or "greedy". Matthew 5:29 is telling you to stop being stingy & greedy.

And with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5d. "Stripes" in Hebrew is an idiom for fellowship. So, the end of Isaiah 53:5 is telling you that having a close relationship with Jesus is a good way to start getting your healing.
