Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 29. - The subject is still continued, as if the moralist would say, "Though a man has done you an injury by gratuitously testifying against you, do not you retaliate in the same way." Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me (see Proverbs 20:22, and note there). The lex talionis should not be applied to private wrongs. The high morality of the Christian code is here anticipated, the Holy Spirit guiding both.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me.--A wonderful anticipation this of New Testament teaching, very different from the spirit of Leviticus 24:19-20. Comp. Proverbs 20:22, and James 2:13, "For he shall have judgment without mercy that shewed no mercy."
