Jesus Christ » History of » Delivers the "sermon on the mount" (in galilee)
Then directing himself to his disciples, he said, blessed are ye, that are poor: for the divine kingdom is yours. blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be satisfied. blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall find matter of mirth. blessed are you, when men shall hate you, discard you, reproach you, and treat you as infamous, for your attachment to the son of man. read more.
then you may triumph with joy; secure of being greatly rewarded in heaven: for such was the treatment the prophets received from their forefathers. But wo unto you that are rich: for you have received your consolation. wo unto you that are full: for you shall be in want. wo unto you that indulge in present pleasure: for mourning and sorrow shall attend you. wo unto you when the generality of men shall applaud you: for so did their forefathers behave to the false prophets. But as for you, who hear me, love your enemies: do good to those, who hate you: bless those, who curse you: and pray for those, who maliciously abuse you. if any one strike you on one cheek, present to him the other likewise: or if any one seize your cloak, surrender your coat also. give to all that ask: and if a man takes away your goods, don't demand them again. behave to others in the same manner, as you desire they would behave to you. for if you only love those, who love you, where's the obligation? the very heathen return love for love. if you return one kind office by another, where's the obligation? the heathen themselves do as much. if you lend with the expectation of gaining by it, where's the obligation? for the heathen lend to one another, for the prospect of an equivalent. but as for you, love your enemies, do good, and lend without expecting any advantage from it: so shall your reward be great, in acting like the children of the most high: for he is kind to the most ungrateful wretches. be ye therefore merciful, as your father is merciful. don't judge others, and you shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven. give and you shall receive: they shall pour into your lap good measure, well pressed, heap'd up, and running over. for in the measure you deal with others, you shall be dealt with yourselves. And by way of comparison he said to them, can the blind lead the blind without tumbling both into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. How comes it, that you can see the mote in your brother's eye, and not see the beam that is in your own eye? or how can you say to your brother, brother, let me take out the mote, that is in your eye, when you your self don't discern the beam that is in your own eye? hypocrite, first remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's eye.
