Happy are ye, when they shall upbraid you, and drive you out, and say every evil word against you, lying, for my sake.

Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you.

Ye are the salt of the earth: and if the salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be salted? it is yet strong for nothing, except to be cast without, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid, set on a mountain.

So let your light shine before men, that they see your good works, and praise your Father, him in the heavens.

Think not that I have come to abolish the law, or the prophets: for I have come not abolish, but to complete.

For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be

For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens.

Neither shouldst thou swear by thy head, for thou cant not make one hair white or black.

But let your word be Yea, yea, and No, no: but that above this is of evil.

But I say to you, Love your enemies, praise them cursing you, do well to them hating you, and pray for them threatening you, and driving you out.

So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust.

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same?

Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected.

Attend ye not to do your justice before men, to be seen to them; and if otherwise ye have no reward from your Father which in the heavens.

Therefore make not yourselves like them: for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye ask him.

Give us this day our bread sufficient for sustenance.

And let go to us our debts, as we let go to our debtors.

For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you.

Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal:

For this I say to you, Be not anxious about your soul, what ye eat, and what ye drink; nor about your body, what ye put on. Is not the soul more than food, and the body than dress?

Look ye upon the fowls of heaven; for they neither sow, nor reap, nor collect into stores; and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Do ye not rather differ from them

And about dress, why are ye anxious? Consider the white lilies of the field, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin:

Therefore be ye not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, What shall we put round us?

For all these the nations seek for; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let go I will cast out the mote from thine eye: and behold a beam in thine eye.

For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

So that that spoken by Esaias the prophet was completed, saying. He took our weakness, and lifted up diseases.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head.

And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost.

And he says to them, Why are ye timorous, ye of little faith? Then having risen, he censured the winds and sea; and there was a great calm.

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee.

And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts?

And to whatever city or town ye should come in, examine who in it is worthy; and there remain till ye go forth.

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

And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet.

And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.

For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you.

What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses.

Are not two little sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the earth without your Father.

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; be was aroused from the dead; and for this, powers are energetic in him.
