9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn h down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with wateri unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you k with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

for it is written, He e aying Ive his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou g shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels h came and ministered unto him.

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was 1 cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, i saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness k saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for le the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon m called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: (for they were fishers.)

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and 1 will make you fishers n of men.

20 And they straightway left o their nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren p Jaines the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

sermon in the mount. 17 Think not that I am come to destroy g the law, or ther prophets: I am not come to destroy,

but to s fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle t 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 u 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 3 by them of old time, w Thon shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judg

ment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause z shall be in danger of the judgment: and whososhall be in danger of the council ever shall say to his brother, 4 Raca, but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift y to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought 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, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee 2 to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt 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 looketha on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 And if thy right eye 5 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.b

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, aud cast from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marIvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith,g no, not in Israel.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts, c said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say. Arise, and walk?
