And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

The people who sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shades of death, light hath arisen.

And his fame spread throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those who were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

That thy alms may be in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret, himself will 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.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

That thou mayest not appear to men to fast, but to thy Father, who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?

If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in by it.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

But when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

(And behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go thence.

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.

Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.

Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;

Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

When Jesus came into the borders of Cesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

He saith to them, But who say ye that I am?

And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon-Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me, to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king who would take account of his servants.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.

And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made them, at the beginning made them male and female,

And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for lewdness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away, committeth adultery.

But he said to them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, that ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

For the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

And he saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee this authority?

Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:

They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,

Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.

Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:

The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

Then one of them who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.

Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.

Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Wherefore ye are witnesses to yourselves, that ye are the children of them who killed the prophets.

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.

Then he who had received the one talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:
