"Do not swear oaths   1Again you have heard it said, Keep the oaths you have sworn to Jehovah. But I say to you, Do not swear at all, neither by heaven for it is Gods throne, nor by theearth for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem for it is the city of the Great King.    And do not swear by your head, for you cannot turn one hair white or black. Simply let your yes be yes and your"
"no be no. Anything more than this comes from theevil one. Turn the other cheek    You have heard it said, An eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, Resist not a violent person. If someonestrikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. Give double if someone would sue you    And if one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak also. Go the extra mile   5If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to one who would beg or borrow from you   6Give to one who begs of you and turn not away him who would borrow from you. The"
"Mount of Beatit udes, rising up from the shore of Lake Galilee, traditional site of the Sermon on the Mount. Do not do acts of kindness  just to be seen of others   7Do not do your acts of kindness before men to be praised by them, for you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.   And when you give to the needy do not announce it with trumpets as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets tobe honoured of men. Truly they have received their reward. Give to the needy in secret    Rather, when you give to the needy let not your left hand know what your right hand is"
"doing. 10Let your giving be in secret, then your Father who sees what isdone in secret will reward you openly. Pray in secret    And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing inthe synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen of men. Truly they have had their reward.   But when you pray, go into your room and close the door and pray to your Father in secret. Then your Father who sees whatis done in secret will reward you openly. Do not repeat the same words over  and over when praying    And when you pray, repeat not the same words over and over as the"
"Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard becauseof their many words.  Be not like them, for your Father in heaven knows what you need before you ask him. The Lords prayer   15After this manner then, should you pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, and your  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins as we forgive those whosin against us.  Let us not be led into temptation but deliver us from all evil.  Forgive others and your own sins will be forgiven   18If you forgive"
"others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive youyour sins. Ask and you shall receive    Ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door shall be opened. For he who asks, receives, and hewho seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door is opened.    For which one of you if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?   21If you then, though you sin, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more"
"will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him? Fast in secret   22And when you fast, do not look dismal as the hypocrites do, for they put on a mournful face to show others they arefasting. Truly they have had their reward.    But I say to you, When you fast, groom your hair and wash your face so that youwill not be seen by men to be fasting, only by your Father in heaven. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret will rewardyou openly. Do not store up treasures on earth    Store not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where"
"thieves break in and steal.   But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in andsteal.    For where your treasure is there will your heart be also. You cannot serve both God and wealth   27No man can serve two masters, for you will be devoted to one and despise theother.  You cannot serve both God and wealth. Do not worry about food and drink   29Therefore do not be anxious about your life, and worry about how you will eat ordrink. Is not life more than food?    Behold the birds of the air, they do not sow,"
"neither do they reap or store away inbarns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?    And who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?  Do not worry about clothing   32And why worry about how you will clothe yourself? Is not your body more than clothing?   33Behold the flowers of the field, how they grow, and they neither labour nor spin yet not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.   If God so clothes the grass of the field which is here"
"today and tomorrow burned in the fire will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?   35So do not be anxious saying, What are we to eat? or What are we to drink? orWhat are we to wear? for the Gentiles strive after all these things. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them. First seek the kingdom of God and  all these things will be yours    Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. Do not worry about tomorrow   37Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has"
"sufficient trouble of its own."  
"*** MATTHEW-MARK-LUKE 09 ***" 
"Judge not others   1Judge not others and you will not be judged. For with the same judgement you judge others, you also will be judged. Forgive and you will be forgiven   2Therefore forgive, and you too will be forgiven. ...here today and tomorrow burned in the fire (Matt-Mark- Luke 8:34). Dry grass being burnt as fuel in an oven. First remove the log from your own eye  then take the speck from anothers eye   3Why do you see the speck in anothers eye and not see the log in your own eye?"
"4You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your neighbours eye. Give generously to receive   5Give and it will be given you, good measure, pressed down, shaken, and running over will be poured into your lap.   6For the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those that have, more shall be given.   But from those who have not, even the little they have shall be taken away. Do not cast pearls before swine   8Give not that which is sacred to dogs, nor"
"cast your pearls before swine, for they may trample them under their feet and then turn on you. Wide is the gate that leads to Death   9Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad the way that leads to Death, and many enter through it. Narrow the way that leads to Eternal Life   10But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to Eternal Life, and few there be that find it. Jesus came to fulfil the scriptures   11Think not that I have come to abolish the Law and the Prophets. I have not come to abolish the scriptures but to fulfil them.   Truly I say to you,"
"Until the heavens and earth pass away, not one dot will disappear from the scriptures until all is fulfilled. Those who will be least in the kingdom of God   13Therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be called least inthe kingdom of God. Those who will be great in the kingdom of God    But whoever keeps and teaches these commandments will be called great in thekingdom of God. Righteousness must exceed that of the  Pharisees to enter the kingdom of God    For unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and the"
"teachers of the Law, you will not enter the kingdom ofGod. False prophets known by their fruits    Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly are hungry wolves. By their fruits you shallknow them.    Are grapes picked from thorns or figs from thistles? A good tree bears good fruit but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18Every tree that bears not good fruit will be cut downand thrown into the fire. Out of the abundance of the  heart the mouth speaks    For a righteous man brings forth good from the"
"good stored in his heart, but a wicked man brings forth evil from the evilstored in his heart.    Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Not all who do miracles in the  name of Jesus are known to the Lord   21Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of God, but only they who do the will of my Father in heaven.   Many shall say to me on the day of judgement, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and drive out demons in yourname and do many miracles?    Then will I declare to them, I never knew you. Away from me you evil doers.   Why call me"
"Lord, Lord, and yet not do what I say? Parable of man who built his house upon the rock   25Everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice, is like the wise man who built his house upon the rock.   26The rains came down and the floods rose up and the winds beat against that house, yet it did not fall, for its foundation was on the rock. The man who built his house upon the sand   27But everyone who hears my words and does them not, is like the foolish man who built his house upon the sand.   The rains came down and the floods rose up and the winds beat against that house and"
"it fell, and great was its fall. The golden rule sums up the scriptures   29So in all things, do unto others what you would have others do unto you, for this sums up the scriptures. The crowds amazed at the authority of Jesus   30When Jesus had finished his teaching the crowds were amazed , for he taught as one who had authority and not as their teachers of theLaw. Weeping repentant sinful woman  anoints feet of Jesus with perfumed oil    One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat in his home . As Jesus reclined at the table , a woman who had lived a sinful life in the town came in to him ."
"She brought with her an alabaster jar of perfumed oil .   32She stood behind Jesus at his feet , weeping and wetting his feet with her tears Then shewiped his feet with her hair and kissed them and anointed them with the perfumed oil .The Pharisee critical of Jesus for  allowing such a woman to touch him    Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus to his home saw what the woman was doing andthought to himself , If this man were a prophet he would know what kind of woman is touching him. Parable of the forgiving moneylender    Jesus said to him , Simon, I have some- thing to say to you.   He"
"said , Speak teacher .   35Jesus said , Two men owed money to a certain money lender. One owed him 500 denarii and the other 50 denarii. Neither of them had the money to pay him back so hecancelled the debts of both of them. Now which of the two do you think will love him more?   Simon replied , I suppose the one who had the greater debt cancelled .   37Jesus said , You have judged correctly. Then turning toward the woman he said to him , Behold this woman, when I came into your house you did not give me water for myfeet, but she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with"
"her hair.    You did not give me a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not give me oil for my head, but she has anointed my feet and head with perfumed oil.   Therefore I say to you her sins which are many have been forgiven, for she has shown great love. But one to whom little isforgiven, loves little. Jesus forgives the woman her sins    Then Jesus said to the woman , Your sins are forgiven. Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.   The other guests said among themselves , Who is this who even forgives sins?"
