Notes on verse:

Evil is of the devil. Christians are not of the devil, but of Christ. Jesus did not fight back. He submitted Himself to the humiliation of the cross. His goodness was so great that even in His pain on the cross, “He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do”. His goodness has lived on for thousands of years.

We must follow His example. In Jesus’ own Words, we read how we are to handle those who oppress us in Luke:

Luke 6:27-30. “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,” “Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” “And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not [to take thy] coat also.” “Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.”
