  TURN  OTHER  CHEEK 

Matt 5   Mark  Luke 6 Didache 1 *
38 "You have heard          
  that it was said,          
  'An eye for an eye          
  and a tooth for a tooth.'          
39 But I say to you,        4  "Abstain from carnal 
  Do not resist evil.         and bodily lusts.
  But if anyone strikes you     29a  "To him who strikes you    If anyone strikes you
  on the right cheek,      on the cheek    on the right cheek, 
  turn to him the other      offer the other   turn to him the other cheek 
  also."     also."   also."

*Note: In the Didache this begins the same cluster of aphorisms  
as in the synoptic gospels.
