Who doesn't know that "an eye for an eye..." verse?
Which one of those "eye for an eye" verses?
Here's the one I like, From Matthew 5. Do you suppose that's the one the jurors were talking about?:
Matthew 5
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a TOOTH for a TOOTH:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
