Matthew 5:39
Matthew 5:39 is the thirty-ninth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This is the second verse of the antithesis on the command: "Eye for an eye". In one of the most famous verses in the New Testament, Jesus here rejects revenge and retaliation, instead telling his followers to turn the other cheek. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:but whosoever shall smite thee on thy rightcheek, turn to him the other also. This verse is partially paralleled in Luke 6:9.
