Bury my father and turn the other cheek
#10
Dr. Lamsa says that this is an Aramaic idiom that means ?do not start a quarrel or a fight.? In his Aramaic Light Commentary of Matthew he states that ?when one turns his cheek, no one will smite him again.? The Commentary also states that the people ?understood that recompensing evil for evil would only multiply evil and increase hatred and vengeance; an eye for an eye would result in more murders and injuries. But when one does not resist evil, he puts an end to its power.?
