5 And when He saw the multitude, He went up into a mountain. And when He was set, His disciples came to Him.

² And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

⁴ “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

⁵ “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.

⁶ “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

⁷ “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

⁸ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

⁹ “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

¹⁰ “Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed shall you be when others revile you, and people utter all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

¹² “Rejoice and be glad! For great is your reward in Heaven! For so they persecuted the Prophets who were before you.

¹³ “You are the salt of the Earth. But if the salt has lost his savor, how shall it be salted? It is thereafter good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trampled underfoot by man.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

¹⁵ “Nor does anyone light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house.

¹⁶ “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father Who is in Heaven.

¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law, or the Prophets. I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.

¹⁸ “For truly I say to you, until Heaven and Earth perish, not one jot or one tittle of the Law shall escape, till all things are fulfilled.

¹⁹ “Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least Commandments, and teach man so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

²⁰ “For I say to you, unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

²¹ “You have heard that it was said to those of the old time, ‘You shall not murder’. For whoever murders shall be culpable of judgment.

²² “But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother unadvisedly, shall be culpable of judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca’, shall be worthy to be punished by the Council. And whoever shall say, ‘Fool’, shall be worthy to be punished with Hell fire.

²³ “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

²⁴ “leave your offering there before the altar and go your way. First, be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift.

²⁵ “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge delivers you to the sergeant, and you are cast into prison.

²⁶ “Truly I say to you, you shall not come out from there, till you have paid the last coin.

²⁷ “You have heard that it was said to those of old time, ‘You shall not commit adultery’.

²⁸ “But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman, to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

²⁹ “So if your right eye causes you to offend, pluck it out and cast it from you. For better it is for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body should be cast into Hell.

³⁰ “Also if your right hand makes you offend, cut it off, and cast it from you. For better it is for you that one of your members perish than that your whole body should be cast into Hell.

³¹ “It has been said also, ‘Whoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement’.

³² “But I say to you, whoever shall divorce his wife (except for promiscuity) causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is divorced, commits adultery.

³³ “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old time, ‘You shall not swear false oaths, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord’.

³⁴ “But I say to you do not swear at all, neither by Heaven (for it is the throne of God)

³⁵ “nor by the Earth (for it is His footstool), nor by Jerusalem (for it is the city of the great King).

³⁶ “Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

³⁷ “But let your communication be ‘Yes, yes. No, no.’ For whatever is more than these, comes from evil.

³⁸ “You have heard that it has been said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.”

³⁹ “But I say to you do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

⁴⁰ “And if anyone would sue you, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

⁴¹ “And whoever will compel you to go a mile, go with him two.

⁴² “Give to one who asks, and do not turn away from one who would borrow from you.

⁴³ “You have heard that it has been said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy’.

⁴⁴ “But I say to you love your enemies. Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who hurt you and persecute you,

⁴⁵ “so that you may be the children of your Father, Who is in Heaven. For He makes His Sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the just and unjust.

⁴⁶ “For if you love those who love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

⁴⁷ “And if you are only friendly to your brothers, what singular thing do you do? Do not even the tax collectors do likewise?

⁴⁸ “You shall therefore be perfect, as your Father, Who is in Heaven, is perfect.”

6 “Be careful that you do not give your alms before men to be seen by them. Or else you shall have no reward from your Father Who is in Heaven.

² “Therefore, when you give your alms, you shall not make a trumpet to be blown before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

³ “But when you do your alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does.

⁴ “so that your alms may be in secret. And your Father, Who sees in secret, He will reward you openly.

⁵ “And when you pray, do not be as the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they wish to be seen by man. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

⁶ “But when you pray, enter into your chamber. And when you have shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret. And your Father, Who sees in secret, shall reward you openly.

⁷ “Also, when you pray, use no meaningless repetitions as the heathen. For they think they are heard for their many words.

⁸ “Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows your needs before you ask Him.

⁹ “After this manner therefore pray, ‘Our Father Who are in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name.

¹⁰ “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

¹¹ “Give us this day our daily bread.

¹² “And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

¹³ “And lead us not into trial. But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever. Amen.’

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

¹⁵ “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, no more will your Father forgive you your trespasses.

¹⁶ “Moreover, when you fast, do not look sour as the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces, to show men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you that they have their reward.

¹⁷ “But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face,

¹⁸ “so that you do not fast for man to see, but your Father, Who is in secret. And your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

¹⁹ “Do not lay up treasures for yourselves on the Earth, where the moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves dig through and steal.

²⁰ “But lay up treasures for yourselves in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves neither dig 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 then your eye is sound, your whole body shall be light.

²³ “But if your eye is wicked, then all your body shall be dark. So, if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?

²⁴ “No man can serve two masters. For either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches.

²⁵ “Therefore I say to you, do not be careful for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Has not life more worth than food? And the body than clothing?

²⁶ “Behold the birds of the heaven. For they neither sow nor reap, nor carry into the barns. Yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

²⁷ “Which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his lifespan?

²⁸ “And why do you care for clothes? Learn how the lilies of the field grow. They neither weary nor spin.

²⁹ “Yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

³⁰ “So, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not do much more to you? O you of little faith.

³¹ “Therefore, take no thought saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘How shall we be clothed?’

³² “For the Gentiles seek after all these things. And your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

³³ “But seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

³⁴ “Care not then for tomorrow. For tomorrow shall care for itself. The day has enough with its own grief.”

7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

² “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.

³ “And why do you see the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, and not perceive the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴ “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me cast out the splinter from your eye’, and behold a beam is in your own eye?

⁵ “Hypocrite! First, cast out that beam from your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast out the splinter from your brother’s eye.

⁶ “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet. And, turning again, all attack you!

⁷ “Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

⁸ “For whoever asks, receives. And the one who seeks, finds. And to the one who knocks, it shall be opened.

⁹ “For what man is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would give him a stone?

¹⁰ “Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

¹¹ “If you then, who are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your Father, Who is in Heaven, give good things to those who ask Him?

¹² “Therefore, whatever you would have men do to you, even so do to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.

¹³ “Enter in at the strait gate. For it is the wide gate and broad way that leads to destruction. And many go in there.

¹⁴ “Because the gate is strait and the way narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly, they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ “You shall know them by their fruits. Does man gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

¹⁷ “So every good tree brings forth good fruit, and a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

¹⁸ “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹ “Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

²⁰ “Therefore, you shall know them by their fruits.

²¹ “Not everyone that says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does My Father’s will, Who is in Heaven.

²² “Many will say to Me on that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name; and by Your Name cast out demons; and by Your Name done many great works?’

²³ “And then will I proclaim to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work iniquity.’

²⁴ “Whoever then hears these words, and does the same, will be like a wise man who has built his house on a rock.

²⁵ “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house. And it did not fall. For it was grounded on a rock.

²⁶ “But whoever hears these, My words, and does not do them, shall be like a foolish man, who has built his house upon the sand.

²⁷ “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house. And it fell. And its fall was great.”

²⁸ And it happened that when Jesus had ended these words, the people were astonished at His doctrine.

²⁹ For He taught them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.

8 Now when He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

² And behold, a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, “Master, if You will, You can make me clean.”

³ And Jesus, putting forth His hand, touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.” And immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ Then Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a witness to them.”

⁵ When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, begging Him,

⁶ and said, “Master, my servant lies at home, sick of the palsy and grievously pained.”

⁷ And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

⁸ But the centurion answered, saying, “Master, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But speak only the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹ “For I also am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go’, and he goes; and to another, ‘Come’, and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he does it.”

¹⁰ When Jesus heard that, He marveled, and said to those who followed Him, “Truly, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, even in Israel.

¹¹ “But, I say to you that many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹² “And the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

¹³ Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. And as you have believed, so be it done to you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

¹⁴ And when Jesus came to Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother laid down, and sick of a fever.

¹⁵ And He touched her hand. And the fever left her. So, she arose and ministered to them.

¹⁶ When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,

¹⁷ so that which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, which says, “He took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.”

¹⁸ And when Jesus saw great multitudes of people around Him, He commanded them to go over the water.

¹⁹ Then, a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Master, I will follow You wherever You go.”

²⁰ But Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest His head.”

²¹ And another of His disciples said to Him, “Master, let me first go and bury my father.”

²² But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me. And let the dead bury the dead.”

²³ And when He had entered into the ship, His disciples followed Him.

²⁴ And behold, there arose a storm in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves. But He was asleep.

²⁵ Then His disciples came and woke Him, saying, “Master, save us! We are perishing!”

²⁶ And He said to them, “Why are you fearful? O you of little faith.” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea. And so, there was a great calm.

²⁷ And the men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that both the winds and the sea obey Him?”

²⁸ And when He had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with demons met Him there, who came very fiercely out of the graves, so that no one could go near there.

²⁹ And behold, they cried out, saying, “Jesus, the Son of God! What have we to do with You!? Have you come here to torment us before the time!?”

³⁰ Now, there was a great herd of swine, feeding far away from them.

³¹ And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, let us to go into the herd of swine!”

³² And He said to them, “Go!” So, they went out and departed into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran headlong into the sea and died in the water.

³³ Then the herdsmen fled. And when they had come into the city, they told all things, and what had become of those who were possessed with the demons.

³⁴ And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from that region.

9 Then He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city.

² And lo, they brought to Him a paralytic, laid on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good courage. Your sins are forgiven you.”

³ And behold, certain of the Scribes said among themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

⁴ And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil things in your hearts?

⁵ “For, which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you’ or ‘Arise, and walk’?

⁶ “But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on Earth to forgive sins (then He said to the paralytic) Arise! Take up your bed and go to your house!”

⁷ And he arose and departed to his own house.

⁸ So when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, Who had given such authority to man.

⁹ And as Jesus went forth from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth, and said to him, “Follow Me.” And he arose and followed Him.

¹⁰ And it happened that as Jesus reclined in his house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners who came there sat down at the table with Jesus and His disciples.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw that, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

¹² Now when Jesus heard it, He said to them, “The healthy do not need the Physician, but those who are sick.

¹³ “But go and learn what this means, ‘I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners, to repentance.”

¹⁴ Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, “Can the children of the marriage chamber lament as long as the Bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the Bridegroom shall be taken from them. And then they shall fast.

¹⁶ “Moreover, no one patches an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth. For that which patches it pulls away from the garment, and the breach is worsened.

¹⁷ “Nor do they put new wine into old vessels. For then the vessels would break, and the wine would be spilled. And the vessels would perish. But they put new wine into new vessels. And so, both are preserved.”

¹⁸ While He spoke to them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshipped Him, saying, “My daughter is now deceased. But come and lay Your hand on her, and she shall live.”

¹⁹ And Jesus arose and followed him, with His disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman who had been diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the hem of His garment.

²¹ For she said to herself, “If I may touch but His garment only, I shall be whole.”

²² Then Jesus turned around. And seeing her, He said, “Daughter, be encouraged. Your faith has made you whole.” And the woman was made whole at that same moment.

²³ Now when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flutists and the multitude making noise,

²⁴ He said to them, “Leave. For the maid is not dead, but sleeps.” And they laughed Him to scorn.

²⁵ And when the multitude had been cast out, He went in and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

²⁶ And report of this went throughout all that land.

²⁷ And as Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, “O son of David! Have mercy upon us!”

²⁸ And when He had come into the house, the blind came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” And they said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁹ Then, He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith may it be done to you.”

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly instructed them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”

³¹ But once they had left, they spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

³² And as they went out, behold, they brought to Him a mute man, possessed with a demon.

³³ And after the demon had been cast out, the mute spoke. Then the multitude marveled, saying, “Such was never seen in Israel!”

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons through the prince of demons.”

³⁵ And Jesus went throughout all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

³⁶ But when He saw the multitude, He had compassion on them, because they were troubled and tossed aside, as sheep having no shepherd.

³⁷ Then He said to His disciples, “Surely, the harvest is great. But the laborers are few.

³⁸ “Therefore, pray that the Lord of the Harvest would send out laborers into His harvest!”
