|The Greek "τω πονηρω" can indicate several meanings: The most likely, because of the definite article "τω" is either that it means "the evil one" (a.k.a. Satan), an evil man, or evil in general. The Greek, "μη αντιστηναι" can be taken to mean, "do not resist," which is the most likely of translations given the example of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and also the overarching theme of non-resistance and pacifism that is so prolific in His teachings.
