5:17-48

. . . . .fulfil prophets - Ye heard.. but I say .

17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets; I cam not to destroy but to fulfil. 18 For truly I say to you, until pass away the heaven and the earth, iota one or one point by no means shall pass away from the law, until all things come to pass 19 Whoever therefore breaks one commandment of these the least and teaches thus men, least he shall be called in the kingdom of the heavens, but whoever does and teaches this (one) great shall be called in the kingdom of the heavens. 20 For I tell you that except shall exceed of you the righteousness more than that of the scribes and the Pharisees by no means shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 21 Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill: and whoever kills, liable shall be to the judgment. 22 But I tell you that everyone being angry with the brother of him liable shall be to the judgment; and whoever says to the brother of him. Raca liable shall be to the council; and whoever says Fool, liable shall be to the Gehenna of fire. 23 Therefore if thou bringest the gift of thee to the alter and there rememberest that the brother of thee has something against thee 24 leave there the gift of thee before the alter and go first be reconciled to the brother of thee and then coming offer the gift of thee. 25 Be well disposed to the opponent of the quickly while thou art with him in the way; lest thee deliver the opponent to the judge and the judge to the attendant, and into prison thou be cast; 26 truly I say to thee, by no means shalt thou come out thence until thou repayest the last farthing. 27 Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 28 But I tell you that everyone seeing a woman with a view to desire her already committed adultery with her in the heart of him. 29 So if the eye of thee right causes to stumble thee, pluck out it and cast from thee; for it is expedient for thee that perish one of the members of thee and not all the body of thee be cast into gehenna. 30 And if the right of thee hand causes to stumble thee, cut out it and cast from thee;

for it is expedient for thee that perish one of the members of thee and not all the body of thee into gehenna go away. 31 And it was said: Whoever dismisses the wife of him, let him give her a bill of divorce. 32 But I tell you that everyone dismissing the wife of him apart from a matter of fornication makes her to commit adultery, and whoever a dismissed (woman) marries commits adultery. 33 Again ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not perjure, shalt repay but to the Lord the oaths of thee. 34 But I tell you not to swear at all: neither by the heaven, because the throne it is of God: 35 nor by the earth, because footstool it is of the feet of him: nor by Jerusalem, because city it is of the great king: 36 nor by the head of thee swear, because thou canst not one hair white to make or black. 37 let be But the word of you Yes yes, No no: for the excess of these of evil is. 38 Ye heard that I was said: an eye instead of an eye and a tooth instead of a tooth. 39 But I tell you not to oppose evil; but who thee strikes on the right cheek of thee, turn to him also the other: 40 and to the one wishing thee to judge and the tunic of thee to take allow him also the outer garment; 41 and who thee shall impress mile one, go with him two 42 To the one asking thee give, and the one wishing from thee to borrow turn not away. 43 Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love the neighbour of thee and thou shalt hate the enemy of thee. 44 I But tell you: Love ye the enemies of you and pray ye for the ones persecuting you; 45 so that ye may become sons of the Father of you in heavens, because the sun of him he makes to rise on evil men and good and rains on just men and unjust. 46 For if ye love the ones loving you, what reward have ye? not even the tax-collectors the same do; 47 and if ye greet the brothers of you only, what excess do ye? not even the gentiles the same do; 48 Be therefore ye perfect as the Father of you heavenly perfect is.

6:1-18

. . . .Heed righteousness but not with a view to be seen . .

6:1 And take ye heed the righteousness of you not to do in front of men with a view to be seen by them; otherwise, reward ye have not with the Father of you in the heavens. 2 When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men; truly I tell you, they have the reward of them. 3 But thee doing alms not let know the left hand of thee what does the right of thee, 4 so that may be of thee the alms in secret; and the Father of thee the one seeing in secret will repay thee. 5 And when ye pray, be not ye as the hypocrites; because they love in the synagogues and in the corners of the open streets standing to pray, so that they may appear to men; truly I tell you, they have the reward of them. 6 thou But when prayers, enter into the private room of thee and having shut the door of thee pray to the Father of thee the one in secret: and the father of thee the one seeing in the secret will repay thee. 7 But praying do not utter words as the gentiles for they think that in

the much speaking of them they will be heard 8 Not therefore be ye like them; for knows God the Father of you of what thins need ye have before you to ask him. 9 us therefore pray ye: Father of us the one in the heavens; Let it be hallowed the name of thee; 10 let it come the kingdom of thee; let it come about the will of thee, as in heaven also on earth; 11 The bread of us daily give to us today. 12 and forgive us the debts of us, as indeed we forgave the debtors of us. 13 and not bring us into temptation, but rescue us from evil. 14 For if ye forgive men the trespasses of them, will forgive also you the Father of you heavenly; 15 but if ye forgive not men, neither the Father of you will forgive the trespasses of you. 16 And when ye fast be not as the hypocrites gloomy for they disfigure the faces of them so that they may appear to men fasting: truly I tell you, they have the reward of them. 17 But thou fasting anoint of thee the head and the face of thee wash, 18 so that thou appearest not t men fasting but to the Father of thee the one in secret; and the Father of thee the one seeing in secret will repay thee.

5. . . . Treasure

6:19-34

. . . . . Do not lay up treasure .

19 Do not lay up treasure for you treasures on the earth, where moth and rust removes, and where thieves dig through and steal ; 20 but lay treasure for you treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust removes, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal; 21 where for is the treasure of thee, there will b also the heart of thee. 22 The lamp of the body is the eye, If therefore be the eye of thee sing, all the body of thee singing will be; 23 but if the eye of thee evil be, all the body of thee dark will be. If therefore the light in thee darkness is, the darkness is, the darkness how great. 24 No one can two lords to serve; for either the one he will hate and the other he will love, or one he will hold and the other he will despise. Ye cannot God to serve and mammon. 25 Therefore I say to you: be not anxious for the life of you what ye may eat or what ye may drink nor for the body of you, what ye my put on, not the life more is than the food and the body than the raiment? 26 Look ye at the

birds of heaven that they sow not nor reap nor gather into barns and the Father of you heavenly feeds them; do not ye more excel them? 27 But who of you being anxious can to add to the stature of him cubit one? 28 and concerning clothing why be ye anxious? consider the lilies of the field, now they grow: they labour not nor spin 29 but I tell you that not Solomon in all the glory of him was clothed as one of these. 30 But if the grass of the field today being and tomorrow into an oven being thrown the God thus clothes, not much more you, little-faiths? 31 Therefore be ye not anxious saying; What may we eat? or: What may we drink? or What may we put on? 32 all for these things the nations seek after; knows for the Father of you heavenly that ye need these things of all. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom and the righteousness of him, and these things all shall be added to you. 34 Therefore be ye not anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious of itself; sufficient to the day the evil of it.

6. . . . Judging

7:1-12

. . . . Judge not

Ch 7 Judge not, lest ye be judged; 2 with what for judgement ye judge ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye measure it shall ye measured to you. 3 And why seest thou the chip in the eye of the brother of thee, the but in thine eye beam thou considers not? 4 or how wilt thou say to the brother of thee; Allow that I may pluck out the chip out of the eye of thee, and behold the beam in the eye of thee? 5 Hypocrite, pluck out first out of the eye of thee the beam, and then thou wilt see clearly to pluck out the chip out of the eye of the brother of thee. 6 not Give the holy to the dogs, neither cast the pearls of you before the pigs, lest they will trample them with the feet of them and turning may rend you.

7. Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. 8 For every asking one a receives, and the one seeking finds, and to the knocking one it shall be opened. 9 Or what is there of you man, whom will ask the son of him a loaf, not a stone he will give him? 10 or also a fish he will ask, not a serpent he will give him? 11 If therefore ye evil being know gifts good to give to the children of you, how much more the Father of you in the heavens will give good things to the ones asking him. 12 All things therefore as may soever as ye wish that may do to you men, thus also ye do to them: this for is the law and the prophets.

7. . . . The easy

7:13-23

. . . . Enter ye through the narrow gate

7:13 Enter ye in through the narrow gate; because wide the gate and broad the way leading to destruction and many are the ones going in through is: 14 because strait the gate and made narrow the way leading away to life and few are the ones finding it. 15 Beware from the false prophets who come to you in clothes of sheep but within are wolves greedy. 16 From the fruits of them ye will know them. They do not gather from thorns grapes or from thistles figs? 17 So every tree good fruits good produces but the corrupt tree fruits evil produces. 18 Cannot tree is good fruits evil to bear nor tree a corrupt fruits good to bear. 19 Every tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into fire is cast. 20 Therefore from the fruits of them ye will know them. 21 Not everyone saying to me Lord Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of the Father f me in the heavens. 22 Many will

say to me in that day Lord, Lord not in thy name we prophesied and in thy name demons we expelled and in thy name mighty works many did 23 and then I will declare to them Never I knew you; depart from me the ones working the lawlessness. 24 Everyone therefore who hears of me words these and does them shall be likened man to a prudent, who built of him the house on the rock. 25 And came down the rain and came the rivers and blew the wind sand fell against the house that, and not it fell; for it had been founded on the rock. 2 And everyone hearing of me words these and not doing them shall be likened man to a foolish, who built of him the house on the sand. 27 And came down the rain and came the rivers and blew the winds and beat against the house that, and it fell, and was the fall it great.

28 And it came to pass when finished Jesus words these, were astounded the crowds at the teaching of him; 29 for he was teaching them as authority having, and not as the scribes of them.

Note mention at end of authority c/f first point in Mark relating to law.
