[QUOTE="DragonFox91, post: 77593287, member: 432108"] In Jewish custom, in a court of law, the accuser would strike the accused's cheek when making an accusation. As a symbolic gesture. 'Turn the other cheek' means when you are being accused of something, you accept you're being accused, you don't bring blind accusations against your accusor, you admit any guilt, & you trust God to the outcome. It's not the same as sitting on your hands when a direct injustice is being done. [/QUOTE]
