17 From that time Jesus also began to preach, and to say; "Repent ye, for the kingdom "of heaven is at hand.

18 And as he walked by the Mark, i. 16. sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;

19 and he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men:

20 and they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with their father Zebedee, mending their nets:

22 and he called them; and they immediately left the ship, and their father, and followed him.

were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

3 And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, Luke, vi. 17. and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

4 And seeing the multitudes, he went up to a mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him;

5 and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying: 6 Blessed are the beggars in c. vii. 7, 8, 11. spirit; for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

7 Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.

8 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. 9 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justification; for they shall be filled.

10 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. 11 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. 12 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God. 13 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of justification; for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

14 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say every thing evil against you, falsely, for my sake:

Luke, xviii. 1.

15 rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but, if the salt lose its savour, with what shall it be seasoned? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot by men.

17 Ye are the light of the world : a city that is set on an hill, cannot be hid.

18 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it shineth to all that are in the house:

19 so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in

heaven.

20 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the proRom. iii. 31. phets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil them:

21 for, I tell you verily; Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall not pass from the law, till all things be fulfilled.

22 Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do them, and teach them, the same

25 but I tell you, That whosoever is angered against his brother, will be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, will be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, will be in danger of hell fire.

26 If, therefore, thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath any thing against thee;

27 leave thy gift there before the altar, and go away; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

28 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whilst thou art on the way with him; lest thy adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison :

29 verily I tell thee, Thou wilt not come out from thence, until thou hast paid the last farthing.

30 Ye have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit "adultery:"

31 but I tell you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

32 And if thy right eye cause thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

33 And if thy right hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

34 It hath been said, "Who"soever putteth away his wife, let him give her a bill of "divorcement:"

35 but I tell you, That whosoever putteth away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is so put away, committeth adultery.

36 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, "Thou shalt not forswear thy"self, but, thou shalt perform "thine oaths to the Lord :" 37 but I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;

38 nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King:

39 neither shalt thou swear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white, or black:

40 but, let your word Yea, be only yea; and your Nay, only nay: for whatsoever exceedeth these, is of the evil one.

41 Ye have heard that it hath been said, "An eye for an eye, Exod. xxi. 24. "and a tooth for a tooth :"

42 but I say to you, Resist not evil: but, whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also; 43 and let him who would sue thee at law, and take thy coat, have thy cloak also:

44 and whosoever shall impress thee to go one mile, go with him two.

rain on the just and on the of the streets, that they may unjust. be seen by men: verily I tell you, They are far from their reward:

49 For, if ye love them only who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

50 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles so?

51 Be ye therefore perfect; as your heavenly Father is perfect.

CHAPTER VI.

TAKE heed not to do your works for justification before men, that ye may be seen by them otherwise, ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

2 When, therefore, thou givest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, in the synagogues and in the streets, as the hypocrites do, that they may be praised by men: verily I tell you, They are far from their reward:

3 but when thou givest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth :

4 that thine alms may be in secret and thy Father who seeth in secret, will himself reward thee.

5 And when thou prayest, be not as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and at the corners

6 but thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast locked thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

7 And when ye pray, use not long repetitions, as the hypocrites; for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking:

8 be not ye therefore like to them; for your Father know- v. 32. eth of what things ye have need, before ye ask him:

9 pray ye, therefore, after this manner: "Our Father, "who art in heaven, hallowed "be thy name!
