And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Si alguien te golpea en una mejilla, ofrécele también la otra. Y si alguien te quita la chaqueta, no le impidas que se lleve también tu camisa.
Jesús enseña a responder a la agresión y al robo con generosidad en lugar de venganza.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, Jesus delivered this teaching as part of his Sermon on the Plain in Luke's Gospel, addressing his followers in a society under Roman occupation where personal insults, like being struck on the cheek, were often met with retaliation or legal recourse under Jewish law. This verse challenged the prevailing cultural norms of honor and shame, encouraging a radical form of non-violence that contrasted with the common practices of vengeance in both Jewish and Greco-Roman societies. It reflected Jesus' broader message of loving enemies and living out God's kingdom ethics in a world marked by oppression and conflict.
