⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

⁶ Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.

¹⁰ If any man sends others into prison, into prison he will go: if any man puts to death with the sword, with the sword will he be put to death. Here is the quiet strength and the faith of the saints.

¹⁹ Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

⁹ Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

⁶ For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.

¹⁵ Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

¹¹ Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;

¹² And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

³⁴ For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;

³⁵ So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.

³⁹ But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

⁵ Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

⁶ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

²³ But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
