and saith unto Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He will give his angels charge concerning thee, and they shall bear thee up as in their hands, least at any time thou shouldst dash thy foot against a stone:

and saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me:

Therefore, if thou bring thine offering to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath any complaint against thee;

Be friends with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; least 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 not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last farthing.

And therefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one part of thee perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell:

and if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy limbs should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

but I say unto you, Set not yourselves against him that injures you, but if any one smite thee on thy right cheek, rather turn to him the other also:

and if any one would go to law with thee, to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, rather than strive with him:

and if any one shall force thee one mile, go with him two.

Give to him that asketh thee, and him, that would borrow of thee, turn not away.

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

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.

that thou mayst not appear unto men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.

but if thine eye be bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and be it unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed in that very hour.

And a certain scribe came to Him, and said, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest:

and they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?

and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.

For which is easier? To say, thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say, rise up and walk?

As He was speaking these things to them, behold there came a ruler and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is at the point of death: but come, I pray Thee, and put thy hand upon her, and she shall live:

Wo unto thee, Chorazin; wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles wrought among you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes:

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted even to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day.

Moreover I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee.

and somebody said to Him, "Here are thy mother and thy brethren standing without, desiring to speak to thee."

for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,

Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.

And Jesus replied and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

Then Peter took Him and began to expostulate with Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: may this never be unto thee.

and if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

And if thy brother trespass against thee, go and expostulate with him alone; if he hearken to thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

but if he regard thee not, take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

And if he disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.

Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

and oughtest not thou to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had on thee?

Then Peter replied and said unto Him, Behold we have quitted all and have followed thee; what then shall we have?

But he answered, and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, even a colt the fole of an ass.

and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?

or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?

Then will they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve thee?

Now upon the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, came the disciples to Jesus, saying, where wouldest thou have us make preparation for thee to eat the passover?

Jesus said unto him, Verily I tell thee that this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.

Peter replied, though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. And so likewise said all the disciples.

And the high priest stood up and said to Him, Dost thou make no answer? what do these men testify against thee? but Jesus made no reply.

Then the high priest said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

saying, Divine to us, thou Christ, who it is that smote thee.

Verily thou also art one of them, for thy speech discovers thee:
