Luke 6:29

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek ,.... The right cheek,

offer also the other ; the left cheek, by turning it to him, that he may smite that likewise, if he thinks fit: by which proverbial expression, Christ teaches patience in bearing injuries and affronts, and not to seek private revenge; but rather, suffer more, than indulge such a temper; and for the same purpose is what follows urged:

and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also : the phrase is inverted in Matthew; See Gill on Matthew 5:39 . See Gill on Matthew 5:40 .
