Bury my father and turn the other cheek

[judge]

Can someone comment on these? Are they idioms? I heard "bury my father" actually means something more like palliative care

and

"turn the other cheek" - does it really mean, "allow the guy to kick the crap out of you?"

I have seen the phrase "turn the other cheek" used in a contemporary middle East newspaper article to mean "turn a blind eye"
