*

39 But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee: and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard, that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy: 44 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: 45 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. 46* For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the Publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? Do not even the Publicans so?

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

6 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. 2 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.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: And thy father which seeth in secret, himself shall reward thee openly.

5 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,

Resist not him that is evil: but 1 Or, evil whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the 40 other also. And if any man I would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have 41 thy cloke also. And whosoever shall 2compel thee to go one 42 mile, go with him twain. Give impress. to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, 44 and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute 45 you; that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the un46 just. For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans 47 the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do yo more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? 48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is per

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

When therefore thou doest alms, sound not 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 received their 3 reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand do4 eth: that thine alms may be in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

5 And when ye pray ye shall not be as the hypocrites. for they love to stand and pray 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.

6 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.

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

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 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.

14 For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you.

15 But, if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.

16 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.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face: 18 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.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through, and steal. 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.

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

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall 7 recompense thee. And in pray. ing use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard 8 for their much speaking. Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before 9 ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Father which art in heaven, 10 Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on 11 earth. Give us this day 2our 12 daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven 13 our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us 14 from the evil one. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also 15 forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover when ye fast, be not,

seen of men to fast, but of thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do

24 No man 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. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. 25 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?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin.

29 And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.

30 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?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 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.

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 the 24 darkness! No 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 mam25 mon. Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious 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 26 body than the raiment? Behold

the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more 27 value than they? And which of

you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his 1stature? 1 Or, age 28 And why are ye anxious con

even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 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? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these 33 things. But seek ye first his

kingdom, and his righteousness;

and all these things shall be 34 added unto you. Be not there

fore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

4 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?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 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.

7 ¶ *Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, Mark 11. and it shall be opened unto you.

8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

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

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 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?

12 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. 13 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:

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

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

16 Ye shall know them by their Luke 6. fruits: *Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bring. eth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt trce bring forth good fruit.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine 5 own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

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

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knock9 eth it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will 10 give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 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? All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide 1is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many be they 14 that enter in thereby. 2 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few be they that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

1611 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 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.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; *Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 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:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house: and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.

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

8 When he was come down from the Mountain, great multitudes followed him.

2 * And behold, there came a leper, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 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.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, 20 and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall 21 know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of hea ven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is 22 in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out 1devils, and by thy name do 1 Gr. 23 many mighty works? And then demons. will I profess unto them, I never 2 Gr. knew you: depart from me, ye powers. 24 that work iniquity. Every one

therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the 25 rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was 26 founded upon the rock. And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house 27 upon the sand: and the rain de

scended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

And when he was come down from the mountain, great multi2 tudes followed him. And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me 3 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.
