4:25.

there followed him great crowds from Galilee Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judæa, and from beyond Jordan.

Now seeing the crowds he went up into the mountain and when he had taken his seat, his disciples came to him. And he opened his

mouth and taught them :

Blessed are the poor in spirit !

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn !

For they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek!

For they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after

righteousness.

For they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful !

For they will obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart! For they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers !

For they will be called the children of God Blessed are those who are persecuted

For righteousness' sake

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, Shall persecute you,

Shall say all kinds of evil

Against you falsely,

For my sake.

Rejoice!

Be exceedingly glad!

For great is your reward in heaven.

For so did they persecute the prophets,
Who were before you.

You are the salt of the earth.

But if the salt has become saltless,
With what shall it be salted?

It is then good for nothing

But to be thrown out,

And to be trodden under foot of men.

You are the light of the world.

A city set on a hill cannot be hid.

Nor do men light a lamp,

And put it under the bushel,

But on the stand,

And it gives light to all who are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men

That they may see your good works,

And glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

Do not think I have come to destroy the law,
Or the prophets.

I have not come to destroy

But to fulfil.

For to tell you

the truth,

5:17.

Till heaven and earth pass

Not the dot of an 'i,' nor the cross of a 't,'

Will ever disappear from the law

Till all is done.

So whoever shall break

One of these least commandments
And shall teach men to do so,

Will be called least

In the Kingdom of Heaven.

But whoever shall do and teach them

Will be called great

In the Kingdom of Heaven.

For I tell you,

Except your religion

Shall be better than that

Of the Scribes and Pharisees

You will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

You have heard it was said to them of old time:

Thou shalt not kill,

And whoever shall kill,

Shall be in danger of being brought to trial.

But I tell you :

Whoever is angry with his brother

Will be in danger of being brought to trial. Whoever shall say to his brother, You fool! Will be in danger of the council.

5: 22.

Whoever shall say: You scoundrel !

Will be in danger of the gehenna of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar, And there remember your brother

Has anything against you,

Leave your gift there before the altar

And go away.

First be reconciled to your brother,

And then come and offer

your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly,

While you are on the road with him,

Lest the adversary deliver you to the judge,

The judge deliver you to the officer,

And you be thrown into prison.

To tell you the truth:

You will never come out of there,

Till you have paid the last cent.

You have heard it was said:

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

But I tell you :

Whoever looks on a woman

To lust after her

Has committed adultery with her already

In his heart.

If your right eye is a hindrance to you,

Pick it out.

Throw it from you.

5:29.

For it is good for you,

That one of your members should perish
And not your whole body

Be thrown into gehenna.

If your right hand is a hindrance to you

Cut it off,

Throw it from you.

For it is good for you,

That one of your members should perish
And not your whole body

Go into gehenna.

It was said also:

Whoever shall put away his wife,

Let him give her a writing of divorce.

But I tell you :

Whoever puts away his wife,
Except because of fornication,

Makes her an adulteress.
Whoever shall marry her
Who is divorced

Commits adultery.

Again you have heard it was said to them of

old time:

Thou shalt not break an oath,

But shalt keep your oaths to the Lord.
