Bible verses about "hitting" | ABU

³⁸ Ye heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after other flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

¹ HAVING spoken these words, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered and his disciples. ² And Judas also, his betrayer knew the place; because Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Judas therefore, having received the band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with torches and lamps and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom do ye seek? ⁵ They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them: I am he. And Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them. ⁶ When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he asked them: Whom do ye seek? And they said: Jesus the Nazarene. ⁸ Jesus answered: I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way; ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Of those whom thou hast given me, I lost none. ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it? ¹² So the band, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, ¹³ and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it is expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter was standing at the door without. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the damsel that kept the door says to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He says: I am not. ¹⁸ And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. ¹⁹ The high priest therefore asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching. ²⁰ Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble; and I spoke nothing in secret. ²¹ Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I spoke to them. Behold, these know what things I said. ²² And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by gave Jesus a blow on the face, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so? ²³ Jesus answered him: If I spoke evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why dost thou smite me? ²⁴ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. ²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says: Did not I see thee in the garden with him? ²⁷ Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately a cock crowed. ²⁸ Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Governor's palace; and it was early; and they themselves went not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation do ye bring against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him: If this man were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. ³¹ Pilate therefore said to them: Do ye take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; ³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should die. ³³ Pilate therefore entered into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered: Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, and the chief priests, delivered thee up to me. What didst thou? ³⁶ Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest it; because I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. ³⁸ Pilate says to him: What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them: I find no fault in him. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye desire therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ They all therefore cried out again, saying: Not this one, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

⁸ He that loves not, knew not God; because God is love.

¹⁹ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath [of God]. For it is written: To me belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
