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

But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty before the court; and whoever speaks [contemptuously and insultingly] to his brother, ‘Raca (You empty-headed idiot)!’ shall be guilty before the supreme court (Sanhedrin); and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fiery hell.

{Settle the case quickly with your accuser} while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

Wherfore if thy right eye offend thee, pluck him out, and cast him from thee: better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Also: if thy right hand offend thee, cut him off, and cast him from thee: better it is that one of thy members perish than that all thy body should be cast into hell.

It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.

But I say to you, every person who divorces his wife makes her become sexually unfaithful to him [i.e., since she will probably marry someone else], unless the reason for the divorce is that she had [already] become sexually unfaithful to him. And whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits sexual sin with her [i.e., because she is still rightfully married to her first husband].

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.

And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, {let him have} your outer garment also.

And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

To him that asks of thee give, and from him that desires to borrow of thee turn not away.

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

But, when one of you prays, let him go into his own room, shut the door, and pray to his Father who dwells in secret; and his Father, who sees what is secret, will recompense him.

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows {what you need} before you ask him.

For if you forgive the wrongs people have done [to you], your heavenly Father will also forgive the wrongs you have done [to Him].

But if you do not forgive the wrongs people have done [to you], neither will your Father forgive the wrongs you have done [to Him].

"But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face,

"so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field which blooms to-day and is thrown to-morrow into the furnace, will not he much more clothe you? O men, how little you trust him!

But you must make his kingdom, and uprightness before him, your greatest care, and you will have all these other things besides.

For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

Or what man is [there] among you, [if] his son will ask him [for] bread, will give him a stone?

Or also [if] he will ask for a fish, will give him a snake?

Therefore if you, [although you] are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

And [when] he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.

And behold, a leper approached [and] worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean."

And extending his hand he touched him, saying, "I am willing, be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

Now [when] he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him

beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house, ill of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And he said to him, "I will come [and] heal him."

But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

Now [when] Jesus heard [this], he was astonished, and said to those who were following [him], "Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel.

And he touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.

Now [when it] was evening, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed, and he expelled the spirits with a word. And he healed all {those who were sick},

to fulfill that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on him our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."

Now [when] Jesus saw many crowds around him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.

And a scribe approached [and] said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!"

And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky [have] nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead!"

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

And they came [and] woke him, saying, "Lord, save [us]! We are perishing!"

And the men were astonished, saying, "What sort of [man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

And [when] he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from among the tombs met him, very violent, so that no one was able to pass by along that road.

Now there was at some distance from them a large herd of swine seeding: and the devils besought Him,

So the demons implored him, saying, "If you are going to expel us, send us into the herd of pigs."

And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to him possessed of the demons.

And behold, the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and [when they] saw him, they implored [him] that he would depart from their region.

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher, and [when] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Have courage, child, your sins are forgiven."

But to show you that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth" -- turning to the paralyzed man, He said to Him -- "Get up, pick up your bed, and go home."

When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God and praised Him, who had given such authority and power to men.

And [as] Jesus was going away from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth and said to him, "Follow me!" And he stood up [and] followed him.

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

Then the disciples of John approached him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"

[As] he was saying these [things] to them, behold, one of the rulers came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!"

And Jesus and his disciples got up [and] followed him.

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him and touched the hem of his vesture:

Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her, saying, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe." And she was made whole even that same hour.

he said, "Go away, because the girl is not dead, but is sleeping." And they ridiculed him.

And [as] Jesus was going away from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And [when he] came into the house, the blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."

But they went out [and] spread the report about him in that whole region.

Now [as] they were going away, behold, they brought to him a demon-possessed man [who was] unable to speak.

But the sight of the crowds of people filled him with pity for them, because they were bewildered and dejected, like sheep that have no shepherd.

And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot--the one who also betrayed him.

Whatever town or village you come to, inquire for some suitable person, and stay with him till you leave the place.

And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

"Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before people, I also will acknowledge him before my Father [who is] in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people, I also will deny him before my Father [who is] in heaven.

He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

and whoever shall give only a cup of cold water to the meanest of you, considering him as my disciple, shall most assuredly be far from losing his reward.

When John, being in prison, heard the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said unto him,

[and] said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"

And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

And if ye are willing to receive him, this is Elijah, who was to come.

The one who has ears, let him hear!

For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, men said 'He has a demon in him';

The Son of Man came eating and drinking with others, and they say, 'Just look at Him! A glutton and a wine-drinker, a chum of tax-collectors and notorious sinners!' And yet wisdom is vindicated by her doings!"

Then Jesus began to rebuke the people of the towns where most of His powerful miracles were performed because they did not repent [when they saw Him perform them].

All [things] have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and {anyone to whom} the Son wants to reveal [him].

But [when] the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"

So he said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,

how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?

And behold, [there was] a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" in order that they could accuse him.

And he said unto them, "Which of you would it be, if he had a sheep fallen into a pit on the Sabbath day, that would not take him and lift him out?

But the Pharisees went out {and plotted} against him in order that they could destroy him.

Now Jesus, [when he] learned of [it], withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.

and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

"Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

He will not quarrel or shout, and no one will hear him shouting in the streets.

The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.

Then a demon-possessed man [who was] blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the [man who was] mute could speak and see.

besides, how could any one enter into the house of a man of might to rob him of his goods, except he first master the strong man? and then indeed he might plunder his house.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the coming one!

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!"
