Besjeda na gori

Ugledavši mnoštvo, on uzađe na goru. I kad sjede, pristupiše mu njegovi učenici, a on otvori usta svoja i stade ih poučavati:

Blaženstva

»Blaženi siromasi u duhu; njihovo je kraljevstvo nebesko!

Blaženi koji žaluju; oni će biti utješeni!

Blaženi krotki; oni će baštiniti zemlju!

Blaženi gladni i žedni pravednosti; oni će biti nasićeni!

Blaženi milosrdni; oni će milosrđe zadobiti!

Blaženi koji su čista srca; oni će Boga gledati!

Blaženi mirotvorci; oni će biti nazvani sinovima Božjim!

10 Blaženi progonjeni zbog pravednosti; njihovo je kraljevstvo nebesko!

11 Blaženi ste kad vas, zbog mene, pogrde i prognaju, i kad protiv vas svakojako zlo lažno izreknu.[a] 12 Radujte se i klikćite; velika je plaća vaša na nebesima! Jer tako su progonili i proroke prije vas.«

Sol i svjetlo

13 »Vi ste sol zemlje. Ali ako sol obljutavi, čime će se ona osoliti? Ona više nije ni za što, osim da se baci van i da je ljudi gaze.

14 Vi ste svjetlo svijeta. Ne može se skriti grad koji leži na gori. 15 Niti se pali svjetiljka i stavlja pod posudu, nego na svijećnjak; onda svijetli svima u kući. 16 Tako neka vaše svjetlo svijetli pred ljudima da vide vaša dobra djela i proslave Oca vašega koji je na nebesima.«

Ispunjenje Zakona i Proroka

17 »Ne mislite da sam došao dokinuti Zakon ili Proroke. Nisam došao dokinuti, nego ispuniti. 18 Jer kažem vam, zaista, dok nebo i zemlja ne prođu, ne, ni jedno slovce, niti jedna crtica iz Zakona neće proći dok se sve ne ostvari. 19 Tko dakle dokine i jednu od ovih najmanjih zapovijedi, i tome nauči ljude, najmanjim će se zvati u kraljevstvu nebeskome. A tko ih bude izvršavao i naučavao, on velikim će se zvati u kraljevstvu nebeskom.

20 Jer, kažem vam, ako pravednost vaša ne bude veća od pravednosti pismoznanaca i farizeja, zasigurno nećete ući u kraljevstvo nebesko.«

Ubojstvo

21 »Čuli ste da je rečeno starima: 'Ne ubij!' Tko ubije, bit će predan sudu. 22 A ja vam kažem: Svaki koji se gnjevi na svojega brata bit će predan sudu. I svaki koji bratu kaže: 'Glupane!', bit će predan Vijeću. A tko rekne: 'Budalo!', bit će predan ognju paklenom.[b]

23 Ako dakle prinosiš dar na žrtvenik i ondje se sjetiš da tvoj brat ima nešto protiv tebe, 24 ostavi svoj dar ondje pred žrtvenikom, idi i najprije se pomiri sa svojim bratom, a onda se vrati i prinesi svoj dar.

25 Brzo rješavaj što imaš sa svojim protivnikom dok si još na putu s njime, da te ne preda sucu, a sudac stražaru, pa da te u tamnicu ne bace. 26 Zaista, kažem ti, nećeš izaći nikako odande dok ne platiš i posljednji novčić.«

Preljub

27 »Čuli ste da je rečeno: 'Ne čini preljuba!' 28 A ja vam kažem: Tko god s požudom pogleda ženu, već je s njom počinio preljub u svojemu srcu. 29 Ako te tvoje desno oko sablažnjuje, iskopaj ga i baci od sebe, jer ti je bolje da propadne jedan od tvojih udova nego da ti cijelo tijelo bude bačeno u pakao. 30 I ako te tvoja desna ruka sablažnjuje, odsijeci je i baci od sebe, jer ti je bolje da propadne jedan od tvojih udova nego da ti cijelo tijelo u pakao ode.«

Rastava

31 »A i rečeno je: 'Tko otpusti svoju ženu, neka joj dade otpusni list.' 32 A ja vam kažem: Tko god otpusti svoju ženu, osim zbog bluda, navodi je na preljub. I tko se oženi otpuštenom, čini preljub.«

Zakletva

33 »Čuli ste još da je rečeno starima: 'Ne zaklinji se krivo, nego izvrši Gospodinu svoje zakletve.' 34 A ja vam kažem: Ne kunite se nikako: ni nebom, jer je prijestolje Božje; 35 ni zemljom, jer je podnožje njegovim nogama; ni Jeruzalemom, jer je grad Kralja velikoga. 36 Ni glavom se svojom ne kuni, jer nijedne vlasi ne možeš učiniti bijelom ili crnom. 37 Neka vaša riječ bude: 'da, da - ne, ne!' A što je više od toga, od Zloga je.«

Odmazda

38 »Čuli ste da je rečeno: 'Oko za oko', i, 'zub za zub.' 39 A ja vam kažem: Ne opirite se Zlomu. Nego udari li te tko po tvom desnom obrazu, okreni mu i drugi. 40 I ako se tko hoće parničiti s tobom da se domogne tvoje donje haljine, ostavi mu i ogrtač. 41 Ako li te tko primora jednu milju, pođi s njim dvije. 42 Tko od tebe ište, podaj mu! I ne okreni se od onoga koji hoće da mu pozajmiš.«

Ljubav prema neprijatelju

43 »Čuli ste da je rečeno: 'Ljubi bližnjega svojega, a mrzi svoga neprijatelja.' 44 A ja vam kažem: 'Ljubite svoje neprijatelje i molite za one koji vas progone 45 kako biste postali sinovi Oca svojega koji je na nebesima; jer On čini da njegovo sunce izlazi nad zlima i dobrima, i da kiša pada pravednima i nepravednima. 46 Jer ako ljubite one koji ljube vas, kakvu li plaću imate? Ne čine li tako i carinici? 47 I ako pozdravljate samo svoju braću, što posebno činite? Ne čine li tako i pogani? 48 Budite dakle savršeni, kao što je savršen Otac vaš nebeski!'«

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes(A)

He said:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(B)
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.(C)
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.(D)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.(E)
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.(F)
Blessed are the pure in heart,(G)
    for they will see God.(H)
Blessed are the peacemakers,(I)
    for they will be called children of God.(J)
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,(K)
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.(L)

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you,(M) persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.(N) 12 Rejoice and be glad,(O) because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.(P)

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.(Q)

14 “You are the light of the world.(R) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(S) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(T) that they may see your good deeds(U) and glorify(V) your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law

17 “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.(W) 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.(X) 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands(Y) and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.(Z)

Murder(AA)

21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF)

23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) 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. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) 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 go into hell.

Divorce

31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(AL)

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(AM) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(AN) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(AO) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(AP) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(AQ) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(AR) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g](AS)

Eye for Eye

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h](AT) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(AU) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(AV)

Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i](AW) and hate your enemy.’(AX) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(AY) 45 that you may be children(AZ) 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.(BA) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(BB) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(BC)
