<center><small>''The Sermon on the Mount.<br/>The disciples are the salt of the earth, and a light on the world.<br/>He urges on them a good example, etc.<br/>27 A.D.''</small></center>


'''1''' And seeing the multitudes, 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''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.</span>

'''4''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.</span>

'''5''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.</span>

'''6''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.</span>

'''7''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.</span>

'''8''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' the pure in heart: for they shall see God.</span>

'''9''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.</span>

'''10''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed ''are'' they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.</span>

'''11''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Blessed are ye, when ''men'' shall revile you, and persecute ''you'', and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.</span>

'''12''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great ''is'' your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.</span>

'''13''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye are the salt of the earth: 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.</span>

'''14''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.</span>

'''15''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.</span>

'''16''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.</span>

'''17''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.</span>

'''18''' <span style="color:#ff0000">For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.</span>

'''19''' <span style="color:#ff0000">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.</span>

'''20''' <span style="color:#ff0000">For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed ''the righteousness'' of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.</span>

'''21''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

'''22''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.</span>

'''23''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;</span>

'''24''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.</span>

'''25''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Agree with thine adversary quickly, 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.</span>

'''26''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.</span>

'''27''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:</span>

'''28''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.</span>

'''29''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And if thy right eye offend thee, 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.</span>

'''30''' <span style="color:#ff0000">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.</span>

'''31''' <span style="color:#ff0000">It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:</span>

'''32''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.</span>

'''33''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:</span>

'''34''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:</span>

'''35''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.</span>

'''36''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.</span>

'''37''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.</span>

'''38''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:</span>

'''39''' <span style="color:#ff0000">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.</span>

'''40''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have ''thy'' cloak also.</span>

'''41''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.</span>

'''42''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.</span>

'''43''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.</span>

'''44''' <span style="color:#ff0000">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;</span>

'''45''' <span style="color:#ff0000">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.</span>

'''46''' <span style="color:#ff0000">For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?</span>

'''47''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more ''than others?'' do not even the publicans so?</span>

'''48''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.</span>
