Matthew 5:44
מד וַאֲנִי אוֹמֵר לָכֶם, אֶהֱבוּ אֶת אוֹיְבֵיכֶם וְהִתְפַּלְּלוּ בְּעַד רוֹדְפֵיכֶם,
Luke 6:27
כז ״אֲבָל אֲלֵיכֶם, הַשּׁוֹמְעִים, אוֹמֵר אֲנִי׃ אֶהֱבוּ אֶת אוֹיְבֵיכֶם, הֵיטִיבוּ עִם שׂוֹנְאֵיכֶם. (שמות כג׳ ד׳//משלי כה׳ כא׳)
Matthew 5:44
5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (NASB)
Luke 6:27
6:27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (NASB)
There is a Torah parallel to the concept “Do Good to them that hate you” (Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:27) taught by Yeshua. In Exodus 23:4-5, there’s an important lesson that echoes this sentiment. It states, “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.” This command urges us to act with compassion and kindness towards our enemies, even those who harbor animosity. This emphasizes that doing good extends beyond personal feelings, highlighting the importance of compassion and helping others regardless of their attitude towards you. It aligns with the New Testament teaching of loving and doing good to those who hate you, demonstrating the consistency of this ethical principle throughout the scriptures. This is how Yeshua taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
