Luke 6:29

[In verses 29-30, Jesus gives four practical examples of how to show your enemy selfless and generous love. The four points are well structured, with a verb describing an evil deed followed by the believer's response. Throughout history, 'fight or flight' has been the rule when encountering one's enemy. Here, Jesus shows a new way: Stand your ground and amaze your enemy! See also Rom. 12:20–21.]
If someone strikes you [contemptuously] on one cheek,
[then] turn (hold out) the other also.
[In Matt. 5:39 it says that it is the 'right cheek'. It is almost impossible for a right-handed person to strike someone on the right cheek with a fist from the front. One can only strike the other person's left cheek. This suggests that it is probably not a normal punch that is meant, but a contemptuous blow with the back of an open right hand against someone's right cheek.]
And if anyone takes your cloak [outer garment],
[then] do not prevent him from taking your tunic (undergarment) as well. [Undress completely naked!]
[If one could not repay a loan, the cloak could be taken as collateral, but had to be returned before sunset, see Ex. 22:26–27. Not only giving up one's cloak, but also beginning to take off one's undergarments in court would be surprising. Nudity was taboo in Judaism, and the shame fell less on the person who was naked than on those who saw it or caused it, see Gen. 9:20–27.]
