¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he passed, with his disciples, over the brook Kidron; where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples. ² Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Then Judas, having got the cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and torches, and arms. ⁴ But Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom do you seek? ⁵ They answered him, Jesus, the Nazarene. Jesus replied, I am he. Now Judas, who betrayed him, was with them. ⁶ He had no sooner said to them, I am he, than they, going backward, fell to the ground. ⁷ He, therefore, asked them again, Whom do you seek? They said, Jesus, the Nazarene. ⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you, that I am he. If, therefore, you seek me, let these go away. ⁹ Thus was that which he had spoken verified, Of those whom thou gavest me, I have lost none. ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Jesus then said to Peter, Put up the sword into the scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me? ¹² Then the cohort, and their commander, and the Jewish officers, apprehended Jesus; and having bound him, ¹³ brought him first to Annas, because he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ Now it was Caiaphas, who had said in council to the Jews, It is expedient that one man die for the people. ¹⁵ Meantime Simon Peter, and another disciple, followed Jesus. That disciple, being known to the high priest, entered his court with Jesus. ¹⁶ But Peter stood without, at the door. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, I am not. ¹⁸ Now, the servants and the officers, stood near a fire, which they had made, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. ¹⁹ Then the high priest interrogated Jesus concerning his disciples and his doctrine. ²⁰ Jesus answered, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple, whither the Jews constantly resort. I said nothing in secret. ²¹ Why do you examine me? Examine them who heard me teach. They know what I said. ²² When he had spoken thus, one of the officers who attended, gave him a blow, and said, Do you answer the high priest thus? ²³ Jesus replied, If I have spoken amiss, show in what the wrong consists: but if well, why do you smite me? ²⁴ Now, Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. ²⁵ As Peter stood warming himself, they asked him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman to him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? ²⁷ Peter denied again; and immediately the cock crew. ²⁸ Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium: it was now morning; but the Jews entered not the praetorium, lest they should be defiled, and so not in a condition to eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and said, Of what do you accuse this man? ³⁰ They answered, If he were not a criminal, we would not have delivered him to you. ³¹ Pilate said, Then take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews replied, We are not permitted to put any man to death. ³² And thus, what Jesus had spoken, signifying what death he should die, was accomplished. ³³ Then Pilate returned to the praetorium, and having called Jesus, said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate replied, Am I am Jew? Your own nation, yes, the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my adherents would have fought to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews; but my kingdom is not hence. ³⁷ Then Pilate said, You are a King, then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a King. For this I was born; and for this I came into the world, to give testimony to the truth. Whosoever is of the truth, hearkens to me. ³⁸ Pilate asked him, What is truth? and so saying, went out again to the Jews, and said to them, For my part, I find nothing culpable in this man. ³⁹ But since it is customary that I release to you one at the passover, will you that I release to you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then they all cried, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹ Jesus, seeing so great a confluence, repaired to a mountain, and having sat down, his disciples came to him. ² Then breaking silence, he taught them, saying: ³ Happy the poor who repine not; for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! ⁴ Happy they who mourn; for they shall receive consolation! ⁵ Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the land! ⁶ Happy they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be satisfied! ⁷ Happy the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy! ⁸ Happy the pure in heart; for they shall see God! ⁹ Happy the peace-makers; for they shall be called sons of God! ¹⁰ Happy they who suffer persecution on account of righteousness; for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! ¹¹ Happy shall you be, when men shall revile and persecute you; and, on my account, accuse you falsely of every evil thing! ¹² Rejoice and exult, for great is your reward in heaven; for thus the Prophets were persecuted, who were before you. ¹³ You are the salt of the earth. If the salt become insipid, how shall its saltness be restored? It is thenceforth fit only to be cast out, and trod under foot. ¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city situate on a mountain must be conspicuous. ¹⁵ A lamp is lighted to be put, not under a vessel, but on a stand, that it may shine to all the family. ¹⁶ Thus, let your light shine before men, that they, seeing your good actions, may glorify your Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to subvert the law or the prophets. I am come not to subvert, but to ratify. ¹⁸ For, indeed, I say to you, heaven and earth shall sooner perish, than one iota, or on tittle of the law shall perish, without attaining its end. ¹⁹ Whosoever, therefore, shall violate, or teach others to violate, were it the least of these commandments, shall be in no esteem in the Reign of Heaven; but whosoever shall practice and teach them, shall be highly esteemed in the Reign of Heaven. ²⁰ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness excel the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not commit murder; for whosoever commits murder shall be obnoxious to the judges." ²² But I say to you, whosoever is angry with his brother unjustly, shall be obnoxious to the judges; whosoever shall call him fool, shall be obnoxious to the council; but whosoever shall call him miscreant, shall be obnoxious to hell fire. ²³ Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recollect, that your brother has ground to complain of you; ²⁴ leave there your gift before the altar: first go and procure reconciliation with your brother; then come, and offer your gift. ²⁵ Compound speedily with your creditor, while you are on the road together; lest he deliver you to the judge; and the judge consign you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Indeed, I say to you, you will not be released, until you have discharged the last farthing. ²⁷ You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery." ²⁸ But I say to you, whoever looks on another man's wife, in order to cherish impure desire, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ Therefore, if your right eye ensnare you, pluck it out, and throw it away: it is better for you to lose one of your members, than that your whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if your right hand ensnare you, cut it off and throw it away: it is better for you to lose one of your members, than that your whole body be cast into hell. ³¹ It has been said, "Whosoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a writ of divorce." ³² But I say to you, whosoever shall dismiss his wife, except for whoredom, is the occasion of her becoming an adulteress; and whosoever marries her that is dismissed, commits adultery. ³³ Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, "You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord." ³⁴ But I say to 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 shall you swear by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; ³⁶ not by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your yes, be Yes; your no, No; for whatever exceeds these, proceeds from evil. ³⁸ You have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth." ³⁹ But I say to you, contend not with the injurious. But if any one strike you on the right cheek, turn to him also the left. ⁴⁰ Whoever will sue you for your coat, let him have your mantle likewise. ⁴¹ And if a man constrain you to go one mile with him, go two. ⁴² Give to him that asks you; and him that would borrow from you, put not away. ⁴³ You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies; bless them who curse you; do good to them who hate you; and pray for them who arraign and persecute you; ⁴⁵ that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who makes his sun arise on bad and good, and sends rain on just and unjust. ⁴⁶ For if you love them only who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not even the publicans so? ⁴⁷ And if you salute your brothers only, wherein do you excel? Do not even the Pagans as much? ⁴⁸ Be you therefore perfect, as your father who is in heaven is perfect.

¹ Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. ² And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. ³ Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves. ⁴ Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint." ⁵ Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple, ⁶ said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." ⁷ Jesus again answered, It is written, "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof." ⁸ Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory, ⁹ and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me. ¹⁰ Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only." ¹¹ Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him. ¹² Now Jesus, hearing that John was imprisoned, retired into Galilee, ¹³ and having left Nazareth, resided at Capernaum, a seaport in the confines of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴ thereby verifying the words of Isaiah the Prophet; ¹⁵ "The canton of Zebulun and the canton of Naphtali, situate on the Jordan near the sea, Galilee of the nations; ¹⁶ the people who abode in darkness, saw a great light, and on those who inhabited a region of the shades of death, light has arisen. ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to proclaim, saying, Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches. ¹⁸ Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon named Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And he said to them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ Immediately they left the nets and followed him. ²¹ Passing on he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the bark with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. ²² They immediately, leaving the bark and their father, followed him. ²³ Then Jesus went over all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every sort of disease and malady among the people. ²⁴ And his fame spread through all Syria, and they brought him all their sick, seized and tormented with various distempers, demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them. ²⁵ And vast multitudes followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the banks of the Jordan.

³⁸ You have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth." ³⁹ But I say to you, contend not with the injurious. But if any one strike you on the right cheek, turn to him also the left.

¹⁶ All scripture, given by divine inspiration, is indeed profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect-completely fitted for every good work.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments;

²³ Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁷ He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you.

⁴ For the ruler is a servant of God for good to you. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; because he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a servant of God, a revenger to inflict wrath on him who works evil.

⁸ For if any one provide not for his own, and especially those of his own family, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
