You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:

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

That ye may be the children of your Father which 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 you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same?

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

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

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, 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 to the poor and do acts of kindness, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing [give in complete secrecy],

that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt 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.

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

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

You must not be like them. For God, who is your Father, knows what you need before you ask him.

“Pray, then, in this way:

‘Our Father, who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you -- your Father who is in the heavens;

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

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

but lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where there is neither moth, nor rust, nor corruption, nor thieves, nor violence to molest you.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

'None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.

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

'And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?

And as for rayment, why should that give you pain? consider the lillies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.

but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

therefore make no such sollicitous enquiries, as what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or how shall we be clothed?

because it is the unbelievers who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

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

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

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

“Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

As a result, you will recognize them by their fruits.

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

And then I will declare to them, 'I never acknowledged you [as my people]; go away from me, you people who have done sinful things.'

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on rock.

'And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls; and disastrous is the fall."

And when Jesus had ended these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, For he taught them as one having authority,

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

As he went down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing].”

As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to Him, begging Him [for help],

and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.”

the centurion answered, Lord, I am not worthy the honour of such a visit: do but give the word, and my servant is sav'd.

for I am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command: I bid this man, go, and he's gone: another, come, and he's here: and to my servant, do this, and it is done.

When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel.

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness that is without. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.

Now when evening came they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all the invalids ??17 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, He took away our sicknesses and he removed our diseases.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

And [as] he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

And behold, a great tempest developed in the sea, so as for the boat to be covered by the waves, but he was sleeping.

And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

And, behold, 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?

Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was afar off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons.

And the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming!"

For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”

He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.

But go and learn what that is I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.

Then the disciples of John [the Baptist] came to Jesus, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees often fast [as a religious exercise], but Your disciples do not fast?”

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Neither do men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

As soon as the people were put forth adoors, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

Have mercy on us, thou Son of David. And the blind men came to Him, having come into the house: and Jesus says to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to Him, Yea, Lord.
