Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Ustedes han oído que se dijo: 'Ojo por ojo, y diente por diente.'
Jesús menciona la antigua ley de justicia proporcional que la gente conocía.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Old Testament, the phrase "an eye for an eye" originated from the Mosaic Law in books like Exodus and Leviticus, serving as a guideline for proportional justice in ancient Israelite society to prevent excessive revenge and maintain social order. Jesus quotes this in the Sermon on the Mount to contrast it with a higher standard of love and mercy, highlighting the evolution from the old covenant's focus on retribution to the new covenant's call for grace. This context underscores how God's laws adapted to the needs of His people across different eras.
