What did Jesus say Christians should do when they are attacked?

Answer 1

For a Verbal or Insulting Attack A Christian is to "Turn ...the other cheek," not resist the attack, and forgive the attacker. Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. According to Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary, which is in the Public Domain: We must not be revengeful ... A blow on the cheek, which is an injury to me in my body; "Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek," which is not only a hurt, but an affront and indignity (2 Co. 11:20), if a man in anger or scorn thus abuse thee, "turn to him the other cheek." In Addition44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Again according to Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary, which is in the Public Domain: Note, it is the great duty of Christians to love their enemies; we cannot have complacency in one that is openly wicked and profane, nor put a confidence in one that we know to be deceitful; nor are we to love all alike; but we must pay respect to the human nature, and so far honour all men...We are here told, 1. That we must speak well of them: Bless them that curse you. When we speak to them, we must answer their revilings with courteous and friendly words...2. That we must do well to them: "Do good to them that hate you, and that will be a better proof of love than good words. Be ready to do them all the real kindness that you can, and glad of an opportunity to do it, in their bodies, estates, names, families; and especially to do good to their souls."...3. We must pray for them: Pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you. We must pray that God will forgive them, that they may never fare the worse for any thing they have done against us, and that he would make them to be at peace with us. Jesus said "If somone slaps you on the right cheek turn to him the other also." That means don't hit them back, forgive them
