Jesus corrected the teaching in the statement above by declaring that
Answer Details
Jesus corrected the teaching of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" by declaring that forgiveness is right. In other words, Jesus taught that instead of seeking revenge and retaliation, we should show forgiveness and mercy to those who have wronged us. This message of forgiveness goes against the idea of retaliation and instead encourages people to turn the other cheek, love their enemies, and pray for those who persecute them. This message of forgiveness is a central tenet of Christianity and is considered one of the defining characteristics of Jesus' teachings.
