| And seeing the multitudes, he went
up into a mountain: and when he was
set, his disciples came unto him.[144] | |
| 2 And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying, | 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his
disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor;
for yours is the kingdom of God. |
| 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. | 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now:
for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye
that weep now: for ye shall laugh. |
| 4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted. | 22 Blessed are ye when men shall
hate you, and when they shall separate
you from their company, and
shall reproach you, and cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. |
| 5 Blessed are the meek: for they
shall inherit the earth. | |
| 6 Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled. | |
| 7 Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy. | |
| 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see God. | |
| 9 Blessed are the peace-makers:
for they shall be called the children
of God. | |
| 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. | |
| 11 Blessed are ye when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against
you falsely, for my sake. | |
| 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you. | 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap
for joy: for behold, your reward is
great in heaven: for in the like manner
did their fathers unto the prophets. |
| 24 But wo unto you that are rich!
for ye have received your consolation. |
| 25 Wo unto you that are full! for
ye shall hunger. Wo unto you that
laugh now! for ye shall mourn and
weep. |
| 26 Wo unto you, when all men
shall speak well of you! for so did
their fathers to the false prophets. |
| 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but
if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under foot of
men. | |
| 14 Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be
hid. | |
| 15 Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick: and it giveth light unto
all that are in the house. | |
| 16 let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven. | |
| 17 Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I
am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. | |
| 18 For verily, I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled. | |
| 19 Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called
the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do, and teach
them, the same shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven. | |
| 20 For I say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven. | |
| 21 Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not
kill; and whosoever shall kill, shall
be in danger of the judgment: | |
| 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever
is angry with his brother, without
a cause, shall be in danger of the
judgment: and whosoever shall say
to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger
of the council: but whosoever shall
say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of
hell-fire. | |
| 23 Therefore, if thou bring thy gift
to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath aught against
thee, | |
| 24 Leave there thy gift before the
altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift. | |
| 25 Agree with thine adversary
quickly, while thou art in the way
with him; lest at any time the adversary
deliver thee to the judge, and
the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison. | |
| 26 Verily, I say unto thee, Thou
shall by no means come out thence, till
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. | |
| 27 Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not
commit adultery: | |
| 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever
looketh on a woman to lust after
her, hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart. | |
| 29 And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast
into hell. | |
| 30 And if thy right hand offend
thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast
into hell. | |
| 31 It hath been said, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give
her a writing of divorcement: | |
| 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever
shall put away his wife, saving
for the cause of fornication, causeth
her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced,
committeth adultery. | |
| 33 Again, ye have heard that it
hath been said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but
shalt perform unto the Lord thine
oaths: | |
| 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at
all: neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne: | |
| 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for
it is the city of the great King: | |
| 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy
head; because thou canst not make
one hair white or black. | |
| 37 But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever
is more than these cometh of evil. | |
| 38 Ye have heard that it hath been
said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth. | |
| 39 But I say unto you, That ye
resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to
him the other also. | |
| 40 And if any man will sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also. | |
| 41 And whosoever shall compel
thee[145] to go a mile, go with him twain. | |
| 42 Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of
thee, turn not thou away. | |
| 43 Ye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy: | |
| 44 But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you; | 27 But I say unto you which hear,
Love your enemies, do good to them
which hate you, |
| 28 Bless them that curse you, and
pray for them which despitefully use
you. |
| 29 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. |
| 30 Give to every man that asketh
of thee; and of him that taketh away
thy goods ask them not again. |
| 45 That ye may be the children of
your Father which is in heaven: for
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil
and on the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust. | 31 And as ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise. |
| 46 For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same? | 32 For if ye love them which love
you, what thank have ye? for sinners
also love those that love them. |
| 47 And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more than others?
do not even the publicans so? | 33 And if ye do good to them
which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also do even the
same. |
| 34 And if ye lend to them of whom
ye hope to receive, what thank have
ye? for sinners also lend to sinners,
to receive as much again. |
| 35 But love ye your enemies, and
do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
again; and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the
Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful
and to the evil. |
| 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful. |
| 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is
perfect. | |
| |
| CH. VI. | |
| |
| Take heed that ye do not your
alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your
Father which is in heaven. | |
| 2 Therefore, when thou doest thine
alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues,
and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men. Verily, I say
unto you, They have their reward. | |
| 3 But when thou doest alms, let not
thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth; | |
| 4 That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret,
himself shall reward thee openly. | |
| 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt
not be as the hypocrites are; for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues,
and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily,
I say unto you, They have their reward. | |
| 6 But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
which is in secret; and thy Father,
which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly. | |
| 7 But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be heard for their
much speaking. | |
| 8 Be not yet therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of before ye ask
him. | |
| 9 After this manner therefore pray
ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. | |
| 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done in earth as it is in heaven. | |
| 11 Give us this day our daily bread. | |
| 12 And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors. | |
| 13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is
the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, for ever. Amen. | |
| 14 For, if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you: | |
| 15 But, if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses. | |
| 16 Moreover, when ye fast, be not
as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance:
for they disfigure their faces, that they
may appear unto men to fast. Verily,
I say unto you, They have their reward. | |
| 17 But thou, when thou fastest,
anoint thy head, and wash thy face; | |
| 18 That thou appear not unto men
to fast, but unto thy Father, which
is in secret: and thy Father, which
seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly. | |
| 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal: | |
| 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal. | |
| 21 For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also. | |
| 22 The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light. | |
| 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee
be darkness, how great is that darkness! | |
| 24 No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon. | |
| 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take
no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet
for your body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat, and
the body than raiment? | |
| 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they? | |
| 27 Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature? | |
| 28 And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the
field how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin; | |
| 29 And yet I say unto you, That
even Solomon, in all his glory, was
not arrayed like one of these. | |
| 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the
grass of the field, which to-day is, and
to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall
he not much more clothe you, O ye of
little faith? | |
| 31 Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, what shall
we drink? or, wherewithal shall we
be clothed? | |
| 32 (For after all these things do
the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of
all these things. | |
| 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto you. | |
| 34 Take therefore no thought for
the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof. | |
| CH. VII. | CH. VI. 20-49. |
| Judge not, that ye be not judged. | 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be
judged: condemn not, and ye shall
not be condemned: forgive, and ye
shall be forgiven: |
| 2 For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured
to you again. | |
| 38 Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down, and
shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom. For
with the same measure that ye mete
withal, it shall be measured to you
again. |
| 39 And he spake a parable unto
them; Can the blind lead the blind?
shall they not both fall into the ditch? |
| 40 The disciple is not above his
master: but every one that is perfect,
shall be as his master. |
| 3 And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine
own eye? | 41 And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
perceivest not the beam that is in thine
own eye? |
| 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote out
of thine eye; and behold a beam is in
thine own eye? | 42 Either how canst thou say to
thy brother, Brother, let me pull out
the mote that is in thine eye, when
thou thyself beholdest not the beam
that is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrite, cast out first the beam out
of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is
in thy brother's eye. |
| 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the
beam out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote out of thy brother's eye. | |
| 6 Give not that which is holy unto
the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them
under their feet, and turn again and
rend you. | |
| 7 Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you: | |
| 8 For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh, findeth;
and to him that knocketh, it shall be
opened. | |
| 9 Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him a stone? | |
| 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give
him a serpent? | |
| 11 If ye then being evil know how
to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father
which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask him? | |
| 12 Therefore all things whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the
law and the prophets. | |
| 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate;
for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat: | |
| 14 Because, strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it. | |
| 15 Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. | |
| 16 Ye shall know them by their
fruits: Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles? | |
| 17 Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit. | 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth
corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. |
| 18 A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit. | 44 For every tree is known by his
own fruit: for of thorns men do not
gather figs, nor of a bramble-bush
gather they grapes. |
| 19 Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire. | |
| 20 Wherefore, by their fruits ye
shall know them. | |
| 45 A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart, bringeth forth
that which is good; and an evil man,
out of the evil treasure of his heart,
bringeth forth that which is evil: for
of the abundance of the heart his
mouth speaketh. |
| 21 Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my father which is in
heaven. | 46 And why call ye me Lord,
Lord, and do not the things which I
say? |
| 22 Many will say to me in that
day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works? | 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and
heareth my sayings, and doeth them,
I will shew you to whom he is like. |
| 23 And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity. | |
| 24 Therefore, whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock: | 48 He is like a man which built
a house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock: and when
the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and could not
shake it: for it was founded upon a
rock. |
| 25 And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house, and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock: | |
| 26 And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them
not, shall be likened unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the
sand: | 49 But he that heareth and doeth
not, is like a man that without a foundation
built a house upon the earth, against which the stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell,
and the ruin of that house was great. |
| 27 And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it. | |
| 28 And it came to pass when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at his doctrine. | |
| 29 For he taught them as one
having authority, and not as the
scribes. | |
| CH. VIII. | |
| When he was come down from the
mountain, great multitudes followed
him. | |
