⁵² Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;

⁶ whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.

¹⁰ if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance `is' Mine,

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

²³ who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

⁶ because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;'

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

¹² and labour, working with `our' own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

³⁴ `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city;

³⁵ that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar:

³⁶ verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

³⁹ but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

⁵ Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:

⁶ Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.

²³ And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!
