What Is Jesus Saying?

"This is a hard passage for me. I have not enacted violence on a human being in over a decade, but I think about it a lot," he says. "I bite my tongue because nothing good is going to come out of my mouth in those moments" In verse 38, you have heard that it was said in I, for an eye and a tooth, for a tooth. It actually does say that in Scripture next to this chapter 21 in Leviticus chapter 24. But this is not talking about personal vengeance.
