Verses 31-32 follow closely on the "antithesis" on adultery in vv. 27-30, which is the likely reason for the brief introduction. The "saying" of v. 31 reflects a paraphrase of Dt 24:1, and the emphasis falls on the "higher righteousness" reflected in Jesus' teaching in v. 32 (cf. 5:20). Verses 33-37 concern the practice of making oaths, and this antithesis is introduced by the same full formula found in v. 21. Verse 33 reflects the ideas (not the language) of Lv 19:12, and Jesus' teaching in vv. 34-37 again is where the emphasis falls. Do not take oaths at all; rather, let your yes be yes and your no be no.
