Matthew 5:44
מד וַאֲנִי אוֹמֵר לָכֶם, אֶהֱבוּ אֶת אוֹיְבֵיכֶם וְהִתְפַּלְּלוּ בְּעַד רוֹדְפֵיכֶם
Luke 6:28
כח בָּרְכוּ אֶת מְקַלְּלֵיכֶם וְהִתְפַּלְּלוּ בְּעַד הַפּוֹגְעִים בָּכֶם.
Matthew 5:44
5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (NASB)
Luke 6:28
6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. (NASB)
The concept in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:28, which teaches to bless those who curse you, has a parallel in the Torah. One such parallel may be found in Exodus 23:4-5, where it instructs to help your enemy’s animal if it is in trouble. This passage emphasizes the importance of showing kindness even to those who may be considered our enemies, i.e. “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.” This Torah passage emphasizes the importance of showing kindness and helping even those who may be considered enemies, similar to the teaching in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:28. This is how Yeshua taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
