Um, I checked it and got this:

You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and 
a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist one 
who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, 
turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you 
and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and 
if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

Matthew 5.38-41
