Luke 3:14
יד גַּם אַנְשֵׁי צָבָא שָׁאֲלוּ אוֹתוֹ׃ ״וַאֲנַחְנוּ, מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה?״ אָמַר לָהֶם׃ ״אַל תַּעַשְׁקוּ אִישׁ וְאַל תִּגְזְלוּ, וְהִסְתַּפְּקוּ בְּמַשְׂכֻּרְתְּכֶם.״
Luke 3:14
3:14 Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.” (NASB)
The Torah contains several principles that parallel the concept of non-violence and fair treatment as we read according to Luke 3:14. One key example is found in Leviticus 19:18, “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.” This verse emphasizes avoiding retribution and treating others with love and respect. Additionally, Exodus 23:4-5 instructs to act with compassion and kindness, even towards those who may be considered enemies, promoting peace and goodwill. These teachings align with the broader principle of doing no harm and treating others fairly, which is echoed in Luke 3:14. They underline the value of empathy, kindness, and justice as foundational ethical guidelines. Notice this is how Yeshua taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
