Jesus’ view A.Jesus said, “Offer the evil man no resistance. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer him the other as well”. What do you think Jesus was trying to tell people about punishment? B.Jesus said: “In the same way as you judge others, you will be judged” What do you think Jesus was trying to teach people? C.When Peter asked Jesus should he forgive his brother as many as 7 times? Jesus answered, not 7 but 77 times. What do you think he was trying to teach Peter? In your pair, discuss the statements. 1.Write out the 3 quotes & explain what the quote is saying – match to the correct answer. 2.Which of these would Jesus NOT agree with & why (refer to one of the quotes): retribution/ protection/ deterrence/ reformation ? **Do you agree with Jesus’ view?
