Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; that the opponent not deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell.

Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord."

nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these comes from evil.

But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

And to him desiring to sue you, and to take away your tunic, let him have your coat also.

You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy."

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

so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

Take heed that you do not do your merciful deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in Heaven.

Therefore when you do your merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,

so that your merciful deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret Himself shall reward you openly.

But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him.

Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;

but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

so that you do not appear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

Do not lay up treasures on earth for yourselves, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.

But lay up treasures in Heaven for yourselves, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

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

The light of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body shall be full of light.

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

No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are?

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, nor do they spin,

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?

For the nations seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull the splinter out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First cast the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother's eye.

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and tear you.

Or what man is there of you, if his son asks a loaf, will he give him a stone?

Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a snake?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him?

Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it.

Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

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

You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?

And it happened, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His doctrine.

And evening coming on, they brought to Him many who had been possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick

so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on Himself our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses."

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

And He said to them, Why are you afraid, little-faiths? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Child, be of good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.

And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?

For which is easier? To say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk!

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, then He said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.

And it happened as Jesus reclined in the house, behold, many tax-collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Him and His disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw, they said to His disciples, Why does your master eat with tax-collectors and sinners?

But when Jesus heard, He said to them, The ones who are whole do not need a physician, but the ones who are sick.

Then the disciples of John came to Him saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?

Nor do men put new wine into old wineskins; else the wineskins burst, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins perish. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.

While He spoke these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, My daughter has just now died. But come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.

But turning and seeing her, Jesus said, Daughter, be comforted; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.

But when the people were put out, He went in and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith let it be to you.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See, let no one know.

But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.

Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.

And the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee and John his brother;

Do not provide gold nor silver, nor copper in your purses,

And into whatever city or village you enter, inquire who within it is worthy. And there abide until you go away from there.

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it. But if it is 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.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.

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

And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

And they said to Him, Are You he who should come, or do we look for another?

the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel proclaimed to them.

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, they who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

For this is the one of whom it is written, "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You."

Then He began to upbraid the cities in which most of His mighty works were done, because they did not repent.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the powerful acts which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes!

And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to the heaven, shall be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

All things are delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son will reveal Him.

Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.

At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the sabbath day. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the heads of grain and to eat.

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

But He said to them, Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,

how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

Or have you not read in the Law that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless?

But if you had known what this is, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice," you would not have condemned those who are not guilty.
