His disciples came to Him,
and having

and He began
to
teach
them, saying:

because
theirs is the reign
of the

are

for

are ye

may
persecute, and may
say any
evil thing
against you falsely
for
my
sake
--
Blessed
are you when
people
insult
you
, persecute you
, and falsely
say all
kinds
of
evil against you because
of
Me.
rejoice ye
and be glad, because your reward `is'
great
in the
heavens,
for thus
did
they persecute
the prophets who
were
before you.
Rejoice and be glad, because great
is
your reward in heaven;
for in
the
same
way
they persecuted
the prophets before you.
`Ye
are the salt of the land,
but if the salt may
lose
savour
, in
what
shall
it be salted
? for
nothing
is
it good henceforth
, except to be cast
without,
and to
be
trodden
down
by men.
You
are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses
its
savor
, how
can
it be made
salty
again
? It is
no
longer
good for
anything
, except to be thrown
out
and trampled
by men.
`Ye
are the light of the world ,
a city set
upon
a mount
is
not
able
to
be hid;
You
are the light of the world .
A city on
a hill
cannot
be hidden.
nor
do they
light a lamp ,
and put it under the
measure
, but
on the
lamp-
stand, and it shineth
to all
those
in the house ;
Neither
do people
light a lamp and put it under a
basket.
Instead
, they
set
it
on a
stand, and it gives
light
to everyone
in the house .
so
let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and may
glorify your Father who
`is'
in the
heavens
.
In
the
same
way,
let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your Father in heaven
.
`
Do not suppose
that I came
to throw
down
the law or the prophets --
I did
not come to throw
down
, but to fulfill ;
Do not think
that I have
come
to abolish
the Law or the Prophets .
I have
not come to abolish
them
, but to fulfill them.
for ,
verily
I say
to
you, till
that
the
heaven and the
earth may
pass away, one
iota
or
one
tittle
may
not pass
away
from the law ,
till
that
all
may
come
to
pass
.
For I tell
you truly
, until
heaven and earth pass away, not a
single
jot,
not
a
stroke
of
a
pen,
will
disappear
from the Law until
everything
is
accomplished
.
`
Whoever therefore
may
loose
one of these
commands
--
the least --
and may
teach
men
so,
least
he
shall
be called in the reign
of the
heavens,
but whoever may
do
and may
teach
`
them ',
he
shall
be called great in the reign
of the
heavens
.
So
then,
whoever breaks
one of the least of
these
commandments
and teaches
others
to
do
likewise
will
be called least
in the kingdom
of heaven;
but whoever practices
and teaches
them will
be called great in the kingdom
of heaven
.
`
For I say
to
you ,
that if
your righteousness may
not
abound
above
that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
may
not
enter to
the reign
of the
heavens
.
For I tell
you that unless
your righteousness exceeds
that of the scribes and Pharisees, you
will
never
enter the kingdom
of heaven
.
`Ye
heard that it was said to the ancients :
Thou
shalt
not
kill
, and whoever
may
kill
shall
be in
danger
of
the
judgment ;
You
have
heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do
not
murder’
and ‘Anyone
who
murders
will
be subject
to
judgment .’
but I --
I
say
to
you ,
that every
one
who is angry at
his brother without
cause,
shall
be in
danger
of
the
judgment, and
whoever
may
say
to his brother, Empty
fellow!
shall
be in
danger
of
the sanhedrim,
and
whoever
may
say
, Rebel
! shall
be in
danger
of
the
gehenna
of
the fire.
But I tell
you that anyone
who is angry with
his brother will
be subject
to
judgment .
Again
, anyone
who
says
to his brother, ‘Raca,’
will
be subject
to
the Sanhedrin.
But
anyone
who
says
, ‘You
fool
! ’
will
be subject
to
the fire of
hell
.
`
If ,
therefore,
thou
mayest
bring
thy
gift to
the altar ,
and there mayest
remember that thy
brother hath
anything
against thee
,
So
if you
are
offering
your
gift at
the altar and there remember that your
brother has
something
against you
,
leave there
thy
gift before the altar ,
and
go
--
first be reconciled to thy
brother ,
and
then having
come bring
thy
gift.
leave your
gift there
before the altar .
First go
and
be reconciled to your
brother ;
then come and
offer
your
gift.
`Be
agreeing
with
thy
opponent
quickly, while thou
art
in
the way with
him
, that
the
opponent
may not
deliver
thee
to the judge, and the judge may deliver
thee
to the officer, and to
prison
thou
mayest
be cast,
Reconcile
quickly with
your
adversary
, while you
are
still
on
the way to
court.
Otherwise
, he
may hand
you
over
to the judge, and the judge may hand
you
over
to the officer, and you
may
be thrown
into
prison.
verily
I say
to
thee
, thou
mayest
not come
forth
thence
till
that
thou
mayest
pay
the last farthing
.
Truly
I tell
you
, you
will
not get
out
until
you
have
paid
the last penny
.
`Ye
heard that it was said to
the
ancients:
Thou
shalt
not commit adultery ;
You
have
heard that it was said ,
‘Do
not commit adultery .’
but I --
I
say
to
you ,
that every
one
who is
looking
on
a woman to desire
her ,
did
already commit
adultery with her in his heart.
But I tell
you that anyone
who looks
at
a woman to lust
after
her has
already committed
adultery with her in his heart.
`But,
if thy
right eye doth
cause
thee
to stumble
, pluck
it out and cast
from
thee,
for
it is good
to thee
that
one of thy
members
may
perish,
and
not
thy
whole body be
cast
to gehenna
.
If your
right eye causes
you
to sin
, gouge
it out and throw
it away.
It
is better
for
you
to lose
one part
of your
body
than
for
your
whole body to be
thrown
into
hell
.
`
And ,
if thy
right hand doth
cause
thee
to stumble
, cut it off ,
and cast
from
thee,
for
it is good
to thee
that
one of thy
members
may
perish,
and
not
thy
whole body be
cast
to gehenna
.
And if your
right hand causes
you
to sin
, cut it off and throw
it away.
It
is better
for
you
to lose
one part
of your
body
than
for
your
whole body to depart
into
hell
.
`And
it was
said, That
whoever may
put
away
his wife ,
let
him
give to
her a writing
of divorce ;
It has
also
been
said, ‘
Whoever divorces
his wife must
give her a certificate
of divorce .’
but I --
I
say
to
you ,
that whoever
may
put
away
his wife, save
for the
matter
of
whoredom
, doth
make
her
to
commit
adultery ;
and
whoever
may
marry
her who hath
been
put
away
doth
commit
adultery.
But I tell
you that anyone
who
divorces
his wife, except
for sexual
immorality
, brings
adultery upon
her .
And
he
who marries
a
divorced
woman
commits
adultery.
`
Again, ye
heard that it was said to the ancients :
Thou
shalt
not swear
falsely
, but thou
shalt
pay
to the Lord thine
oaths;
Again, you
have
heard that it was said to the ancients ,
‘Do
not break
your
oath
, but fulfill
your
vows
to the Lord .’
but I --
I
say
to
you ,
not to swear at all ;
neither
by the
heaven, because
it is the
throne of
God,
But I tell
you not to swear at all :
either
by heaven, for
it is God’s
throne ;
nor
by the earth, because
it is His footstool ,
nor
by Jerusalem, because
it is a
city of a
great king ,
or
by the earth, for
it is His footstool ;
or
by Jerusalem, for
it is the
city of the
great King .
nor by thy
head mayest
thou
swear
, because
thou
art
not
able
one
hair
to
make white or black ;
Nor should
you
swear
by your
head, for
you
cannot
make a
single
hair
white or black .
but
let your word
be,
Yes ,
Yes, No, No ,
and
that
which
is
more than
these
is
of
the evil.
Simply
let your ‘
Yes ’
be
‘
Yes, ’
and
your
‘
No, ’
‘
No .’
Anything
more comes
from
the evil one
.
`Ye
heard that it was said :
Eye for eye ,
and tooth for tooth ;
You
have
heard that it was said ,
‘
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth .’
but I --
I
say
to
you ,
not to resist the
evil ,
but
whoever
shall
slap
thee
on thy
right cheek, turn to him also
the other;
But I tell
you not to resist an
evil person.
If
someone
slaps
you
on your
right cheek, turn to him the other also
;
and
whoever
is
willing
to
take
thee
to law,
and thy
coat
to
take --
suffer
to
him also
the
cloak .
if
someone
wants
to sue
you
and take your
tunic,
let
him have
your
cloak as
well;
`
And whoever
shall
impress
thee
one mile, go with him two ,
and if
someone
forces
you
to
go
one mile, go with him two miles.
to him
who is
asking
of
thee
be
giving
, and him
who is
willing
to borrow from thee
thou
mayest
not
turn
away
.
Give
to the
one
who asks
you
, and do
not
turn
away
from
the
one
who wants
to borrow from you
.
`Ye
heard that it was said :
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbor ,
and shalt
hate thine
enemy ;
You
have
heard that it was said ,
‘
Love your
neighbor ’
and ‘
Hate your
enemy .’
but I --
I
say
to
you, Love your enemies ,
bless
those
cursing
you,
do
good
to
those
hating
you,
and pray for those accusing
you
falsely,
and
persecuting
you,
But I tell
you, love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute
you,
that ye
may be sons of your Father in the
heavens,
because
His sun He
doth
cause
to rise on evil and good, and He
doth
send
rain on righteous and unrighteous.
that you
may be sons of your Father in heaven.
He
causes
His sun to rise on the
evil and the
good, and sends
rain on the
righteous and the
unrighteous.
`For,
if ye
may
love those loving
you, what reward have
ye
? do not also
the
tax -gatherers
the same?
If you
love those who
love
you, what reward will
you
get
? Do not even
tax collectors
do
the same?
and if ye
may
salute
your
brethren
only, what do
ye
abundant
? do not also
the tax-gatherers
so
?
And if you
greet
only your
brothers
, what are
you
doing
more
than
others
? Do not even
Gentiles
do
the same
?
ye
shall
therefore
be perfect, as your Father who
`
is '
in
the
heavens
is
perfect.
Be perfect, therefore,
as your heavenly
Father is perfect.
