“Bless those
Who curse you!”
εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς,
Luke indicated that Jesus said to his followers to bless those (εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς) who cursed them (καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς), using the second person plural. There is something similar in Matthew, chapter 5:44, where a Byzantine text added that these followers of Jesus were asked to bless those cursing them (εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς), just like here. These early Christians were asked to be generous to their enemies and persecutors.
