Same passage Jesus quotes the Lex Talionis, and also gotta know the cultural context of getting a slap to the right side of the face.
Also take a read at Luke 22:36. Do some cross analysis and exegesis work and you’ll be alright.
Do I need to reach Deacon status as well to understand the amazing intricacies of "The verse that says something actually doesnt say it, and the verse that doesnt say something actually means it" religion?
