Anno DOMINI 31.
AND seeing the multitudes, [1] he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 [2] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
4 [3] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 [4] Blessed are the meek: for [5] they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: [6] for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: [7] for they shall obtain mercy.
8 [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for [9] they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
11 [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of [12] evil against you †† Gr. lying. falsely, for my sake.
12 [13] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for [14] so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: [15] but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 [16] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men [17] light a candle, and put it under ‖‖ The word in the original signifieth a measure containing about a pint less than a peck. a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, [18] that they may see your good works, and [19] glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 ¶ [20] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Anno DOMINI 31.18 For verily I say unto you, [21] Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 [22] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [23] the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said ‖‖ Or, to them. by them of old time, [24] Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That [25] whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, ‖‖ That is, vain fellow, [26] Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore [27] if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 [28] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 [29] Agree with thine adversary quickly, [30] whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, [31] Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever [32] looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 [33] And if thy right eye ‖‖ Or, do cause thee to offend. offend thee, [34] pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, [35] Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That [36] whosoever
