- Isaiah 50:6
I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.
Commentary on Isaiah 50:62 voices
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comes before us, when he would show [people] how to suffer, who when he was struck bore it patiently, being reviled he reviled not again, when he suffered he threatened not, but he gave his back to the smiters and his cheeks to buffetings, and he turned not his face from spitting; and at last, he was willingly led to death, that we might behold in him the image of all that is virtuous and immortal, and that we, conducting ourselves after these examples, might truly tread on serpents and scorpions and on all the power of the enemy.
Athanasius of Alexandria· Letter 10.7, 373Patristic
(Chapter 50—Verse 4 and following) The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I may sustain with words the weary. He awakens me morning by morning, awakens my ear as a master. The Lord God has opened my ear; I do not resist, I do not turn back. I offered my body to the ones striking me, and my cheeks to those plucking my beard. I did not turn my face away from those reproaching and spitting.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Lamentations 3:30
Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
Commentary on Lamentations 3:302 voices
But all those who call their lands by their own names and have wood and hay and stubble in their thoughts; such as these, since they are strangers to difficulties, become aliens from the kingdom of heaven. Had they however known that "tribulation perfects patience, and patience experience, and experience hope, and hope makes not ashamed," they would have exercised themselves, after the example of Paul. He said, "I bring my body into subjection, lest when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 13:4, 373Patristic
Third, the condition of the person expecting can refer to their patience in tribulation. "Let him give his cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults." That is, be prepared to give: "his cheek to the smiter." For the Apostle Matthew states: "but if …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Lamentations, 1274Patristic
- Matthew 5:38
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
Commentary on Matthew 5:381 voice
(Verse 38.) You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist evil. Whoever says an eye for an eye does not want to take away the other, but to preserve both. Our Lord, by taking away vengeance, cuts off the beginnings of sins. And in the Law there is retribution, in the Gospel there is grace. There, fault is corrected, here the beginnings of sins are taken away.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 5:39
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
- Matthew 26:67

Commentary on Matthew 26:671 voice
(Verse 67.) Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists. As it was foretold: I have given my cheeks to those who struck me; I have not turned my face from disgrace and spitting. (Lamentations 3:30)
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 27:30
Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
Commentary on Matthew 27:301 voice
(Verse 30) And spitting on him, they took a reed and struck his head. At that time it was fulfilled; I did not turn my face away from the shame of spitting (Isaiah 50:6), yet when they strike his head with the reed, he endures everything patiently, to fulfill the true prophecy of Isaiah, which says: He will not break a bruised reed (Isaiah 42:3).
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Mark 14:65
Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
- Luke 22:63

- John 19:3
And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
Commentary on John 19:31 voice
They dressed him in a purple robe in mockery, of course. But they also fulfilled the prophecy, doing so under inspiration. For he was a King. However much they did it in a spirit of derision, still they did it. His royal dignity was emblematically heralded. So, likewise, though it was with thorns they crowned him, it was still a crown. And it was soldiers who crowned him. Kings are proclaimed by soldiers.
