Thy will be done, as in 10 heaven, so on earth. Give us this day our daily 11 bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have for- 12 given our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, 13 but deliver us from the evil one. For if ye forgive 14 men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, 15 ancient, but neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 4 Many authorities, some with variations, add For thine is the king dom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 5 Gr. dig through. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, 16 of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. But thou, 17 when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy 18 Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, 19 where moth and rust doth consume, and where thieves 5 break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves 20 treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not 5 break through nor steal for where thy treasure is, there will thy 21 heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if 22 therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body 23 shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! No 24 man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious 25 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 the food, and the body than the 26 raiment? Behold the birds of the heaven, that they 27 of much more value than they? And which of you by the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, 29 neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of 30 these. But if God doth 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? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be 32 clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have 33 need of all these things. But seek ye first his king dom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall 34 be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

A good tree cannot 18 bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth 19 good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 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. Many will say 22 to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will 23 I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Every one therefore which 24 heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the rock and the rain descended, and the floods 25 came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. And every one that heareth these words of mine, and 26 doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain 27 descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell and great was the fall thereof. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, 29 the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. 8 And when he was come down from the mountain, 2 great multitudes followed him. And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, 3 if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his 4 leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there 6 came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my 1servant lieth in the house sick of1 Or, boy. 7 the palsy, grievously tormented. And he saith unto 8 him, I will come and heal him.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, recline. Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour. 14 1 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he 15 saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she 16 arose, and ministered unto him. And when even was 8 thorities Israel have 7 Gr. 8 Or, come, they brought unto him many possessed with demoniacs. 1 Or, through. 2 Gr. one scribe. & Or, Teacher. devils and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick that it might be fulfilled 17 which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. 2 4 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, 18 he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And there came a scribe, and said unto him, 19 Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, 20 Gr. lodg. and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the ing-places. Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And 21 another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus saith 22 unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead. And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples 23 followed him. And behold, there arose a great 24 tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And 25 they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fear- 26 ful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man 27 is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? And when he was come to the other side into the 28 country of the Gadarenes, there met him two 5 possessed demoniacs. with devils, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding 5 Or, 6 Gr. demons. fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.
