Many of the teachings attributed to Jesus come from the hypothetical 'Q' document, used by Matthew and Lukeas a source for sayings of Jesus. In some cases, the teachings of Jesus are first reported in the Old Testament. For example, Leviticus 19:18, attributed to the Priestly source, says: "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. " Notice that here, 'neighbour' refers to the "children of thy people" - the Jews - not to all races. It was not until Luke's Gospel that Jesus enjoined his followers to love their enemies.
