One of the oddest verses in the sermon refers to dogs and pigs—and not surprisingly, scholars have debated its meaning for centuries. The language seems harsh and off-putting, and it’s easy to imagine the Pharisees having a field day with it. Whatever we take Jesus to be saying, however, it shouldn’t contradict his command to love our enemies.
