Luca 6:29

Listen to Luca 6:29
29 A chi ti percuote su una guancia, porgigli anche l’altra; e a chi ti toglie il mantello non impedire di prenderti anche la tunica.

and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also:
the phrase is inverted in Matthew;(See Gill on :)(See Gill on :)

Luca 6:29 In-Context

27 Ma a voi che ascoltate, io dico: Amate i vostri nemici; fate del bene a quelli che v’odiano;
28 benedite quelli che vi maledicono, pregate per quelli che v’oltraggiano.
29 A chi ti percuote su una guancia, porgigli anche l’altra; e a chi ti toglie il mantello non impedire di prenderti anche la tunica.
30 Da’ a chiunque ti chiede; e a chi ti toglie il tuo, non glielo ridomandare.
31 E come volete che gli uomini facciano a voi, fate voi pure a loro.
