20 And xhe lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

yBlessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.

Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they zshall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap afor joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

24 bBut woe unto you that are crich! for ye dhave received your econsolation.

25 Woe unto you that are full! for fye shall hunger.

Woe unto you gthat laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe unto you, hwhen all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the ifalse prophets.

27 But I say unto you which hear, kLove your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and kpray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And lunto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; mand him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And nas ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32 oFor if ye love them which love you, what pthank have ye? for qsinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what pthank have ye? for qsinners also do even the same. 34 rAnd if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what pthank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But slove ye your enemies, and do good, and rlend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and tye shall be the children of uthe Highest: for he is xkind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be ye therefore ymerciful, as your Father also is ymerciful. 37 zJudge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: aforgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38 bGive, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your cbosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

39 And he spake a parable unto them, dCan the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 eThe disciple is not above his master: but every one ||that is fperfect shall be as his master. 41 zAnd why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. 43 gFor a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 hFor every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they †grapes. 45 iA good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: kfor of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

46 lAnd why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and mheareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that nwithout a foundation built an house nupon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
