"Give him your cloak too" is Christ referencing Exodus 22:26 to shame your opponent. Exodus 22:26 compels creditors to return the cloak at night so that the poor can sleep in it. By giving up your cloak you shame the creditor who is willing to sue for your tunic - and God will hear the cries of the debtor, Exodus promises this.

The reason why scholars do not readily provide a citation is it comes from the Talmud. There are a number of references to various to traditions in the Talmud that are found in the gospels, because of Jesus' debates with Pharisees and St. Paul who was one himself. This is what scholars have when they do have a citation. I add this to anon's (thank you anon) original work as request from some atheists. Anonymous (ID: GqK+D9hz) - 03/22/18(Thu)21:26:57 No.165006695 ► File: 1506716547285.jpg (363 KB, 1344x1344) Originally to use a backhand slap against a superior was a serious offense since was meant for the slave class, or those goyim that did not bathe, since the back of the hand was used so to touch an unclean person as little as possible while still striking them. Touching something unclean with the palm of the hand made that hand generally unusable. So the Jews Jesus is speaking to would see this not just as dishonorable but also a baseless insult. To turn the other cheek would force the ones backhanding them to recognize that Jews indeed bathe just as the civilized Romans and Greeks did by slapping them with front. So if a goy were to turn his cheek to a Jew that is backhanding him, then the goy would be forcing the Jew to recognize that he is clean as he is. In a personal argument, to force a Jew to recognize that he is your equal is more effective than just punching him. If he does not recognize his equality with you, then observers would have been redpilled on kikery.

(1) The commentary on the New Testament by Hermann Strack and Paul Billerbeck advanced Wettstein's research. (2) The key text is m. B. Qam. 8.6: “If one cuff his fellow, he must pay him a sela." R. Yehuda in the name of R. Jose the Galilean says, "A maneh . If he slapped him, he must pay him two hundred zuz; [if he hit him] with the back of his hand [IT' nnx] he must pay him four hundred zuz". (3) Samuel Greengus has shown that the offense in a number of different Babylonian laws including the Laws of Hammurapi. In the Laws of Hammurapi (§ § 202-205) a social inferior who struck the side of a superior's face was flogged, and a slave who did the same to a free person who lost an ear. (4) He thinks that talion is naturally associated with the slapping of a face, since m. B. Qam. 8.6 and the Hammurapi Laws (§ § 202-205) are in sections dealing with “serious bodily injuries". If talion was the "ancient literary and legal setting for a discussion of dignitory torts", then the similarity between the Mishnaic passage and Matthew is explained.

Yehuda ha Nasi (fourth generation Tannaitic teacher who died 217 AD and who redacted the Mishnah) took his view from R. Jose the Galilean (2nd generation Tannaitic teacher) concerning the fine for slapping one's friend. (6) One can assume that the Mishnaic teaching may well have it's origins in the 1st century AD or before. The commentator Yom-Tove Lippman Heller (17th century AD) calls such a strike "extreme humiliation" (7) .(11' j177) t. B. Qam. 9.31 requires the same payment for a similar transgression: "If one has struck another with one's backhand [IT' Da], with a paper, with a pinaz, with untanned hides, or with a role of documents that are in one's hands, then one pays 400 zuz. Not because it is a blow of pain, but because it is a blow of [public] shame (8) ".(j!'|2) Greengus interprets this to mean that the fine is not so high because of the pain, but because of the public dishonor. (9) The Mishnaic text on the “backhanded slap" appears in the Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds.

Otherwise John, when the soldiers who came to be baptized asked, What shall we do? Would have replied, Throw away your arms; give up the service; never strike, or wound, or disable any one. But knowing that such actions in battle were not murderous but authorized by law, and that the soldiers did not thus avenge themselves, but defend the public safety, he replied, "Do not extort (shake 'em up/õiaoeiw/CONCVTERE), accuse no man falsely, and be content with your wages." Luke 3:14 But as the Manichæans are in the habit of speaking evil of John, let them hear the Lord Jesus Christ Himself ordering this money to be given to Cæsar, which John tells the soldiers to be content with. "Give," He says, "to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's." Matthew 22:21 For tribute-money is given on purpose to pay the soldiers for war. Again, in the case of the centurion who said, "I am a man under authority, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it," Christ gave due praise to his faith; Matthew 8:9-10 He did not tell him to leave the service. But there is no need here to enter on the long discussion of just and unjust ways. [Unlike the woman caught in adultery who he told to "go and sin no more" John 8:11] St. Augustine Against Faustas 22.74 His quotation of Luke 3:14 is as follows "Neminem concusseritis" The Vulgata reads "Neminem concutiatis" Anonymous (ID: GqK+D9hz) - 03/22/18(Thu)21:29:51 No.165007022 ► File: 1489904433546.jpg (155 KB, 465x600) This entire passage (Matthew 5:38-42) is not about bloodshed but personal retaliation. The "Eye for an Eye" was wrongly taught to extend beyond court ruling (what Torah puts) and into personal private quarrels by Pharisees. To sum it all up Jesus' words are: When one is in a dispute with a neighbor it is better to strike a man by revealing his own nature and thereby condemning him publicly, than to strike him back with a slap to dishonor him and the matter escalates into violence and that you are condemned with him.
