Since almsgiving was not literally preceded by trumpet blasts, Jesus evidently used hyperbole when he said that we should not “blow a trumpet ” ahead of us when making“ gifts of mercy. ”
Kuna almuseandmisele ei eelnenud sõnasõnalist sarvepuhumist, kasutas Jeesus nähtavasti hüperbooli, öeldes, et me ei tohiks enese ees „sarve puhuda ”, kui anname armastuseande.
