NETBible

To the person who strikes you on the cheek,¹ offer the other as well,² and from the person who takes away your coat,³ do not withhold your tunic⁴ either.⁵

NET Notes

¹sn The phrase strikes you on the cheek probably pictures public rejection, like the act that indicated expulsion from the synagogue.

²sn This command to offer the other cheek as well is often misunderstood. It means that there is risk involved in reaching out to people with God’s hope. But if one is struck down in rejection, the disciple is to continue reaching out.

³tn Or “cloak.”

⁴tn See the note on the word “tunics” in 3:11.

⁵sn The command do not withhold your tunic either is again an image of continually being totally at risk as one tries to keep contact with those who are hostile to what Jesus and his disciples offer.
