A city cannot be hid that is situated on an eminence. ¹⁵ Neither do men burn a lamp, and set it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens. ¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. ¹⁸ For I tell you assuredly, that till heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, or the smallest stroke of a letter, shall pass from the law, until all things shall be accomplished. ¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, he shall be accounted the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall practise, and teach them, he shall be reckoned great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ Ye have heard that it was said to the men of antient times, "Thou shalt do no murder;" and whosoever shall commit murder, shall be liable to the judgment: ²² but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire. ²³ If therefore 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: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ²⁵ Be disposed to agree with thy prosecutor speedily, whilst thou art in the way with him [to the bar]; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the judge commit thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. ²⁶ Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing. ²⁷ Ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt not commit adultery:" ²⁸ but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ If then thine eye, the right, leads thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is highly for thy advantage, that one of thy members be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand leads thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is highly thy interest that one of thy members should be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. ³¹ It hath been said indeed, That whosoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce: ³² But I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. ³³ Again ye have heard that it was said to those of old, "Thou shalt not perjure thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths:" ³⁴ But I say to thee, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven; for it is the throne of God: ³⁵ nor by the earth; for it is the footstool of his feet: nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King: ³⁶ neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; No, no: for all addition to these is from the wicked one. ³⁸ Ye have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth:" ³⁹ but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other. ⁴⁰ And if a man will prosecute thee, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. ⁴¹ And whosoever shall press thee for one mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him that asketh thee; and from him who wants to borrow of thee, turn not away. ⁴³ 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 those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same thing? ⁴⁷ And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the publicans so? ⁴⁸ Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

¹ THEN was Jesus led away by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. ² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he became hungry. ³ And the tempter coming to him said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made loaves. ⁴ But he answering said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." ⁵ Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and placed him on a wing of the temple, ⁶ and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, "that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." ⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." ⁸ Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; ⁹ and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration." ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and lo! angels came and ministered unto him. ¹² But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee; ¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali: ¹⁴ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen." ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching. ¹⁸ And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him. ²¹ And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. ²² Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him. ²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people. ²⁴ And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. ²⁵ And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

³⁸ Ye have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth:" ³⁹ but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other.

¹ HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples. ² Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there. ³ Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms. ⁴ Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking? ⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men. ⁶ As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean. ⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away: ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them. ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchas. ¹¹ Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? ¹² The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him, ¹³ and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people. ¹⁵ Now Simon Peter had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high-priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter. ¹⁷ Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not. ¹⁸ Now the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold, stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and warmed himself. ¹⁹ The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and respecting his doctrine. ²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing. ²¹ Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have spoken to them: lo, they know what I said. ²² As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion? ²³ Jesus replied to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me? ²⁴ Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest. ²⁵ Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him? ²⁷ Then again Peter denied: and instantly the cock crew. ²⁸ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate then came out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee. ³¹ Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: ³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die. ³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou speak this from thyself, or did others speak to thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. ³⁷ Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in him. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then again they all clamoured, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
