And sometimes they respond with violence. Jesus wasn't saying people should govern with violence, only that they did. Which, as I said earlier in this thread, was at times very unjust punishment, such as the poena cullei.

What he was telling the disciples — who were being prepared to be spiritual leaders of men — was they should govern without violence.


Edit: And what interpretation? Jesus only gave one all encompassing command.

What is your interpretation of Revelations 13:10? Or the punishment he confirmed in Matthew 15:4-7? I want to make sure I am not interpreting them wrong.
