You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:

And if your right eye causes you to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not perjure yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths:

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Neither shall you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.

But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not away.

And if you greet your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the tax collectors so?

Take heed that you give not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father who is in heaven.

Therefore when you give your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:

And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

And why take you thought for clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Therefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter you not:

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks through you.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily I say unto you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man comes.

The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his lord.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

Therefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? from where then has it tares?
