He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

und lasse sich auf die Backen schlagen und viel Schmach anlegen.
Dará la mejilla al que le hiriere; hartarase de afrenta.
Que ofrezca la mejilla a quien lo golpea y se llene de afrentas.
Il présentera la joue à celui qui le frappe, Il se rassasiera d'opprobres.
Porga pur la guancia a chi lo percuote; Si sazi pur di vituperio!
Dê a sua face ao que o fere; farte-se de afronta.
讓人打他耳光, 使他飽受凌辱吧!
