@
Matthew:5:39
@{
Resist
not
him
that
is
evil
} (\
me
antist
nai
t
i
pon
r
i
\).
Here
again
it
is
the
infinitive
(
second
aorist
active
)
in
indirect
command
.
But
is
it
"
the
evil
man
"
or
the
"
evil
deed
"?
The
dative
case
is
the
same
form
for
masculine
and
neuter
.
Weymouth
puts
it
"
not
to
resist
a
(
the
)
wicked
man
,"
Moffatt
"
not
to
resist
an
injury
,"
Goodspeed
"
not
to
resist
injury
."
The
examples
will
go
with
either
view
.
Jesus
protested
when
smitten
on
the
cheek
(
John:18:22
|).
And
Jesus
denounced
the
Pharisees
(
Matthew:23
|)
and
fought
the
devil
always
.
The
language
of
Jesus
is
bold
and
picturesque
and
is
not
to
be
pressed
too
literally
.
Paradoxes
startle
and
make
us
think
.
We
are
expected
to
fill
in
the
other
side
of
the
picture
.
One
thing
certainly
is
meant
by
Jesus
and
that
is
that
personal
revenge
is
taken
out
of
our
hands
,
and
that
applies
to
"
lynch-law
."
Aggressive
or
offensive
war
by
nations
is
also
condemned
,
but
not
necessarily
defensive
war
or
defence
against
robbery
and
murder
.
Professional
pacifism
may
be
mere
cowardice
.
rwp
@
Matthew:5:40
@{
Thy
coat
...
thy
cloke
also
} (\
ton
chit
na
sou
kai
to
himation
\).
The
"
coat
"
is
really
a
sort
of
shirt
or
undergarment
and
would
be
demanded
at
law
.
A
robber
would
seize
first
the
outer
garment
or
cloke
(
one
coat
).
If
one
loses
the
undergarment
at
law
,
the
outer
one
goes
also
(
the
more
valuable
one
).
rwp
@
Matthew:5:41
@{
Shall
compel
thee
} (\
aggareusei
\).
The
Vulgate
has
_angariaverit_
.
The
word
is
of
Persian
origin
and
means
public
couriers
or
mounted
messengers
(\
aggaroi
\)
who
were
stationed
by
the
King
of
Persia
at
fixed
localities
,
with
horses
ready
for
use
,
to
send
royal
messages
from
one
to
another
.
Songs:if
a
man
is
passing
such
a
post-station
,
an
official
may
rush
out
and
compel
him
to
go
back
to
another
station
to
do
an
errand
for
the
king
.
This
was
called
impressment
into
service
.
This
very
thing
was
done
to
Simon
of
Cyrene
who
was
thus
compelled
to
carry
the
cross
of
Christ
(
Matthew:27:32
|, \
ggareusan
\).
