And Jesus responding said to him; Suffer it now; for thus it is becoming us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers Him.

Think not that I came to destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill.

Think not that I came to destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.

For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.

For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished. Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. read more. For I say unto you, that if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens. You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder shall be in danger of the judgment; but I say unto you that every one being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a hell of fire. Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your gift. Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison. Truly I say unto you, You can not go out from thence until you have paid the last farthing. You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say unto you that every one looking on a woman in order to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not that thy whole body may go away into hell. OMITTED TEXT And it was said, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a divorcement. But I say unto you, that every one sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off commits adultery. Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black. But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one. You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also: to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also. Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two. Give to the one asking thee, and do not turn away from the one wishing to borrow from thee. You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you: in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:

And Jesus says to him, See that you may tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Have you not read in the law, that the priests in the temple do profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? But I say unto you, that there is One here greater than the temple.

And He said to them; What man shall there he of you, who shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not lay hold of it and lift it up?

But if I through the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. Or how is any one able to enter into the house of a strong man, and spoil his goods, unless he may first bind the strong man, and then he can spoil his house. read more. And the one not being with me is against me; and the one not gathering with me scatters abroad.

The queen of the south will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: because she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

And He responding said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But in order that we may not offend them, going to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the first fish coming up; and opening its mouth, you will find a stater: having received it, give it to them for me and thee.

And the Pharisees came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him; Is it lawful for a man to send away his wife for any cause? And He responding said to them, Have you not read, that the one having made them from the beginning made them male and female? read more. And He said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife; and they two shall be one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh: therefore what God joined together, let no man separate. They say to Him, Then why did Moses command to give a book of divorcement, and to send her away? He says to them, Moses on account of the hardness of your heart permitted you to send away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. But I say unto you, That whosoever may send away his wife, not for fornication, and may marry another, commits adultery.

as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many.

And the Pharisees, hearing that He silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together. And one of them, a theologian, tempting Him, asked Him also, saying, read more. Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law? And He said to him; Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law, and the prophets.

for this is my blood which belongs to the new covenant, which is shed for many unto the remission of sin.

And it came to pass, that He was traveling through the corn-fields on the Sabbath-day; and His disciples began to make the journey plucking the ears. And the Pharisees continued to say to Him, Behold what they are doing on the Sabbath, which is not lawful. read more. And He said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, and those with him? How he entered into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priest, and he gave it to those being with him? And He said to them, The Sabbath was made for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath.

And He said to them, The Sabbath was made for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath. So the Son of man is also Lord of the Sabbath.

And they were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse Him.

In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men. read more. And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death. But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother; making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things. And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand. There is nothing without a man coming into him, which is competent to defile him: but those things coming out from him, these are the things which defile the man. If any one has ears to hear, let him hear. And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable. And He says to them, Are you still without understanding? Do you not know that everything external entering into a man is not able to defile him? Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.

Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles. And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man. read more. For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly. All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.

And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And when the eight days of circumcising Him were fulfilled, and His name was called Jesus, having been called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

And the Book of Isaiah the prophet was given to Him; and having opened the book, He found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised, read more. to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And having closed the book, and giving it back to the officer, He sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him. And He began to say to them; This day has this Scripture been fulfilled in your ears.

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting Him, saying, Teacher, having done what shall I inherit eternal life? He said to him, What has been written in the law? how do you read it? read more. And he responding said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with divine love from all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And He said to him, You answered correctly: do this, and you shall live. But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Jesus responding said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and fell among thieves, who indeed having stripped him of his raiment, administered blows, went away, leaving him half dead. And by chance a certain priest came down that way: and seeing him, passed by on the other side. And likewise also a Levite, being at the place, coming and seeing, passed by on the other side. And a certain Samaritan, on a journey, came near him: and seeing, had compassion on him, and having come to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and having mounted him on his own beast, carried him to a tavern, and cared for him. And on the morrow, taking out two denaria, gave them to the host, and said, Care for him; and whatsoever you expend in addition, on my return, I will pay you. Which one of these three seems to you to have been the neighbor of him who fell among the thieves? And he said, The one having done mercy with him. And Jesus said to him, Go, thou, and do likewise.

And while He was speaking, a Pharisee asked Him, that He would dine with him: and having come in, He sat up at the table. And the Pharisee seeing, was astonished because He was not first baptized before dinner. read more. And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees purify the outside of the cup and the plate, but the interior is full of extortion and wickedness. Ye fools, did not the One having made the outside also make the inside? Therefore give alms of your substance; and behold all things are pure unto you.

Did it not behoove this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bondage on the Sabbath-day? And He speaking these things, all opposing Him became ashamed: and the whole multitude rejoiced over all the illustrious works wrought by Him.

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses into it.

For I say unto you, that it behooves that which has been written to be perfected in me, this, And He was numbered with the transgressors: for indeed that which is concerning me has an end.

And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself.

Because the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Because the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up:

And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day. Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. read more. He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about. They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take thy bed, and walk about? And the sick man did not know who He is: for Jesus went out, the crowd being in the place. And after these things, Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast been made whole: sin no more, lest something worse may come on thee. And the man departed, and said to the Jews, that Jesus is the one having made him whole. And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work. Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His Father, making himself equal to God. Then Jesus responded and said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son is not able to do anything Himself, unless He may see the Father doing it: for whatsoever He may do, the Son likewise also doeth the same. For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.

It is written in the prophets, They shall all be taught of God; every one hearing and learning from the Father, comes to me.

I am the living bread, having come down from heaven; if any one may eat of me the bread, he will live forever: and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?

Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Then they asked the man the second time who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory: we know that this man is a sinner.

And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods?

But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them,

Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless the grain of wheat having fallen into the ground may die, it remains alone; but if it may die, it produces much fruit.

Then the multitude responded to Him; We have heard from the law that Christ abideth forever; and how do You say, That it behooveth the Son of man to be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

But in order that the word having been written in their law may be fulfilled, That they hated me gratuitously.

And the Jews responded, We have a law, and according to law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.

Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached:

Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God. read more. For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt; but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:

Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead. read more. But I was alive at one time without law: but the commandment having come, sin revived, and I died; and the commandment, which was unto life, the same was unto death. For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me. So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, having been sold under sin. read more. For that which I do, I know not: for I do that which I do not will; but I do that which I hate. But if I do that which I do not will, I consent to the law that it is beautiful; but now it is no more I that do it, but sin dwelling in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not: for the good which I will I do not; but the evil which I do not will, that I do. If I do that which I do not will, it is no longer I that do it, but sin dwelling in me. Then I find a law, that, to me wishing to do that which is beautiful, that the evil is present with me: for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man; but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death. For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.

for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God.

For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God.

Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law:

Therefore the law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be justified by faith;

Bear the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith:

and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith:

Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,

And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, unto the testimony of those things which shall be spoken;

which is a figure unto the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make the worshiper perfect, as to his conscience;
