⁶⁷ Then ^(A)they spit in his face ^(B)and ^(C)struck him. And some slapped him,

³⁹ But I say to you, ^(A)Do not resist the one who is evil. But ^(B)if anyone ^(C)slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

²⁰ For you bear it if someone ^(A)makes slaves of you, or ^(B)devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or ^(C)strikes you in the face.

^29 (A)To one who ^(B)strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic^[a] either.
