Lex talionie, Mt 5, 39, slapping the right cheekAbstract
The article is an interpretation of lex talionie in the context of rabbinic literature and episode 5:39 from the Gospel of Matthew. The verse from the Gospel is juxtaposed with the interpretation of torraic lex talionie contained in Tanakh, Talmud, midrashes, Qumran scrolls, apocryphas and Jewish Antiquities by Josephus Flavius. Futhermore, the article describes the meaning of slapping the right cheek as a Jewish custom. In the end, there is a description of relations between both traditions (Christian and Jewish) in interpreting of lex talionie.
