Jesus Christ said "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" do not apply. Christ has authority over the Old Testament; the OT does not dictate what Christ can do. Christ fulfills the Law, doesn't abolish it, but "the letter killeth", the Spirit "giveth life". The OT says take revenge. Christ says no, don't take revenge. So God's Covenant can change. The OT is passed away; all things are new in the New Covenant of Christ.
