3 Christ s sermon on the mount 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. f» Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 f 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. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 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. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, tend glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17 IT Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you. Till heaven and earth pass, one 69 ST. MATTHEW, S jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 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 the righteousness of the scribes and Phar'i-sees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 H Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 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, Ra'ca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say. Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 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 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. 26 Verily I say unto thee. Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time. Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you. That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her bath committed, /

4 ST. MATTHEW, 6 adultery with her already in his heart. 29 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. 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. Whoso ever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce ment: 32 But I say unto you. That Whosoever shall put away his Wife, saving for the cause of for nication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33 f 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: 34 But I say unto you. Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God s throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Je-ru'sa-Jem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communica tion be. Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 38 If Ye have heard that it hath teen said. An eye for an eye, and ft tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you. That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy light 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 com Christ s sermon on the mount pel 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 If 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 heav en : 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 breth ren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heav en is perfect.

Verily I say unto you. They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be ini secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall r&? ward thee openly.

9 The Sadducees silenced ST. LUKE, And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children.and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 34 And Je'sus answering said unto them. The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall he accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Mo'ses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of A'bra-ham, and the God of 1'saac, and the God of Ja'cob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 39 Then certain of the scribes answering said. Master, thou hast well said. 40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 41 If And he said unto them. How say they that Christ is Da'vid s son? 42 And Da'vid himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 44 Da'vid therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 45 If Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

A ND! he looked up, and saw. the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said. Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. 5 If And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying. Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said. Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful m
