Jesus Forbids Oaths

33 “Again you have heard that ait was said to those of old, b‘You shall not swear falsely, but cshall perform your oaths to the Lord.’  
34 But I say to you, ado not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is bGod’s throne;  
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of athe great King.  
36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 aBut let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.  

Go the Second Mile

38 “You have heard that it was said, a‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’  
39 aBut I tell you not to resist an evil person. bBut whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
