ει ουν ύμεις, πονηροι οντες,

οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδόναι τοις τεκνοις ύμων, ποσω μαλλον ὁ παλης ὑμῶν, ὁ εν τοις ουρανοις,

δώσει αγαθα τοις αιτουσιν αυτόν ;

παντα ουν όσα αν θεληκε ένα ποιωσιν ύμιν ανθρωποι, όυτω και ύμεις ποιείτε αυτοις·

δυτος γαρ εςιν ὁ νομος και οι προφήται.

εισέλθετε δια της Γενης πυλης•

ὅτι πλαίεια ἡ συλη, και ευρυχωρος ἡ ὁδος, ἡ απάγουσα εις την και πολλοι εισιν δι εισερχομενοι δι' αυτής : [απωλειαν· ότι ζενη ἡ πυλη, και τεθλιμμένη ἡ ὁδος, ή απάγουσα εις την και ολιγοι εισιν οι ευρίσκοντες αυτην [ζωην

προσεχείς δε, απο των ψευδοπροφήτων,

όιτινες ερχονται προς ύμας εν ενδυμασι προβαίων, εσωθεν δε εισι λευκοι ἁρπαγες·

απο των καρπων αυίων, επιγνώσεσθε αυλους·
μηλι συλλεγουσιν απο ακανθων ςαφυλην,
η απο τριβολων συκα;

δύλω παν δενδρον αγαθον καρπους καλους ποιει·
το δε
σαπρον δενδρον καρπους πονηρους ποιει :

ου δυναται δενδρον αγαθον καρπους πονήρους ποιειν
ουδε δενδρον σαπρον καρπους καλους ποιειν·
παν δενδρον μη ποιουν καρπον καλον,
εκκοπίείαι, και εις τους βαλλεται :

άραγε, απο των καρπων αυίων, επιγνώσεσθε αυτους.

ου πας ὁ λεγων μοι, Κύριε, Κύριε, εισελευσείαι εις την

των ουρανων

βασιλειαν

αλλ' ὁ ποιων το θέλημα του παίρος μου, του εν ουρανοις :

πολλοι ερουσι μοι εν εκείνη τη ήμερα,

Κυριε, Κυρίε, ου τω σω ονοματι προεφητευσαμεν ;

και τω σω ονοματι δαιμονια εξεβαλομεν ;

και τω σω ονοματι δυναμεις πολλας εποιησαμεν ;

και τοτε ὁμολογησω αυτοις,

ὅτι ουδεποτε εγνων ύμας,

αποχωρείτε απ'

εμού,

οι εργαζόμενοι την ανομίαν.

πας ουν όςις ακουει μου τους λόγους τουίους, και ποιει αυλούς, ὁμοιωσω αυτον ανδρι φρονιμων

όςις ωκοδόμησε την οικιαν αυλου επι την πείραν :

και καλεβη ἡ βροχη,

και ήλθον οι πολαμοι,

και επνευσαν οι ανεμοι,

και προσέπεσον τη οικία εκείνη

και ουκ επεσε· τεθεμελιωίο γαρ επι την πείραν.

:

και πας ὁ ακουων μου τους λόγους τουλους, και μη ποιων αυλους, ὁμοιοθησεται ανδρι μωρω,

οςις ωκοδόμησε την οικιαν αυτου επι την αμμον :

και κατέβη ή βροχη,

και ήλθον οι ποταμοι,

και επνευσαν οι ανεμοι,

και προσεκοψαν τη οικία εκείνη

και έπεσε· και ην ή πίωσις αυτης μεγαλη·

και εγενετο, ότι συνελελεσεν ὁ Ιησους τους λόγους τουλους, εξεπλησ σουίο οι οχλοι επι τη διδαχή αυίου. ην γαρ διδασκων αυλους ὡς εξουσίαν έχων, και ουκ ώς οι γραμματεις·

S. MATTHEW, IV. 25. v. VI. VII.

And great multitudes followed him, from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan and seeing the multitudes, he went up to the mountain district: and when he had sat down, his disciples came near to him; and having opened his mouth, he taught them; saying:

Happy the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven :

Happy the mourners; for they shall be comforted: Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the earth: Happy the hungering and thirsting after righteousness; for they shall be filled:

Happy the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy : Happy the pure in heart; for they shall see God: Happy the peace-makers; for they shall be called the sons of God:

Happy the persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven:

Happy are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute; And, on my account, shall speak all manner of evil against you, falsifying:

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad :

For great is your reward in heaven;

For so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

But, if the salt have become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted?

It is good for nothing thenceforth, except to be cast out; And to be down-trodden under foot of men:

Ye are the light of the world:

A city cannot be concealed, situated on a mountain; Nor do they light a lamp, and place it under the bushel; But upon the lamp stand, and it shineth to all in the

house.

So let your light shine before men,

That they may see your good works,

And glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to dissolve the law or the prophets;

I am come, not to dissolve, but to fulfil :

For verily I say unto you:

Till heaven and earth pass away,

One jot or one tittle shall by no means pass away,
From the law, till all things be effected:

Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach

men so,

Shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven:

But whosoever will do and teach them,

The same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

That, except your righteousness abound,

More than that of the Scribes and Pharisees,

Ye shall by no means enter into the kingdom of hea

Ye have heard that it was said to the antients,

Whosoever is angry with his brother causelessly,
Shall be liable to the judgment;

And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
Shall be liable to the Sanhedrim;

And whosoever shall say, Morch,

Shall be liable to hell-fire.

[ven.

If therefore, thou bring thy gift to the altar, And there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee;

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go;

First be reconciled to thy brother;

And then come, and offer thy gift.

Agree with thine adversary quickly,
While thou art on the way with him;

Lest the adversary deliver thee to the judge;
And the judge deliver thee to the officer;
And thou be cast into prison:

Verily I say unto thee,

Thou shalt by no means come out thence,

Till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Ye have heard that it was said to the antients,
Thou shalt not commit adultery:

But I say unto you,

Whosoever looketh on a married woman to desire

her,

Hath already committed adultery with her in his heart: But, if thy right eye offend thee,

Pluck it out, and cast it from thee;

For it is expedient for thee, that one of thy members

perish;

And that thy whole body be not cast into hell:

And, if thy right-hand offend thee,

Cut it off, and cast it from thee:

For it is expedient for thee, that one of thy members perish;

And that thy whole body be not cast into hell.

It hath been said,

Whosoever will divorce his wife,

Let him give her a writ of separation :

Whosoever shall divorce his wife,

Except on account of whoredom,

Maketh her commit adultery:

And whosoever marrieth a divorced woman,

Committeth adultery.

Again: ye have heard that it was said to the antients,

Thou shalt not forswear thyself,

But shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths:

But I say unto you,

Swear not at all;

Neither by the heaven;

For it is the throne of God:

Nor by the earth;

For it is his footstool:

Nor by Jerusalem;

For it is the city of the great king:

Nor by thine own head shalt thou swear;

For thou canst not make one hair white or black:

But let your word be, yea, yea; nay, nay;

For whatsoever exceedeth these, is from the evil one.

Ye have heard that it was said,

An eye for an eye;

And a tooth for a tooth;
