| 1 | And seeing the crowds He went up into the mountain, and upon His sitting His students came to Him. |
| 2 | And opening His mouth He instructed them, saying: |
| 3 | "Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 4 | Blessed are those who are mourning, because they shall be comforted. |
| 5 | Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth. |
| 6 | Blessed are those who are hungering and thirsting for righteousness, because they shall be satiated. |
| 7 | Blessed are those having mercy, because they shall be mercied. |
| 8 | Blessed are those who are pure in heart, because they shall see Yahweh. |
| 9 | Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons of Yahweh. |
| 10 | Blessed are those who are persecuted on account of righteousness, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| 11 | Blessed are you when they would reproach and persecute you and being liars they would speak any evil against you on account of Me. |
| 12 | Rejoice and exult, because great is your reward in the heavens. For thusly had they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
| 13 | You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? It avails for nothing more than it is cast outside to be trampled by men! " |
| 14 | You are the light of the Society. A city sitting upon a mountain is not able to be hidden. |
| 15 | Neither do they ignite a lamp and set it under a basket, but upon a lampstand, and it gives light for all those in the house. |
| 16 | Thusly you must give your light before men, that they may see your good works and they may honor your Father who is in the heavens. " |
| 17 | You should not believe that I have come to dismiss the law or the prophets. I have not come to dismiss but to fulfill. |
| 18 | For truly I say to you: until heaven and earth would pass, by no means should one iota or one stroke pass from the law until all things should happen. |
| 19 | Indeed he who may break the least one of these commandments and teach men as much, he shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But he who should do and should teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. |
| 20 | For I say to you that unless your righteousness abounds beyond that of the scribes and Pharisees, by no means shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens! " |
| 21 | You have heard that it had been said to the ancients 'You shall not murder', and he who would murder shall be subject to judgment. |
| 22 | But I say to you that each being angry with his brother shall be subject to judgment! He who would say to his brother: 'Worthless!' shall be subject to the council, but he who would say: 'Stupid!' shall be subject to Gehenna for the fire! |
| 23 | Therefore if you would offer your gift upon the altar and there you should remember that your brother has something against you, |
| 24 | leave your gift there before the altar and go: first you must be reconciled to your brother, and then coming offer your gift. |
| 25 | You must quickly be on good terms with your opponent, even while you are with him in the road, lest the opponent hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the deputy and you would be cast into prison! |
| 26 | Truly I say to you, you shall not come out from there until when you would repay the last cent. " |
| 27 | You have heard that it has been said 'You shall not commit adultery.' |
| 28 | But I say to you that each who beholds a woman for which to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart. |
| 29 | Now if your right eye entraps you, take it out and cast it from you, for it is better for you that one of your members would be lost and your whole body not be cast into Gehenna! |
| 30 | And if your right hand entraps you, cut it off and cast it from you. For it is better for you that one of your members would be lost and your whole body not depart into Gehenna! " |
| 31 | And it has been said 'He who would put away his wife must give to her a bill of divorce.' |
| 32 | Now I say to you that each who puts away his wife except for reason of fornication makes her to commit adultery, and he who would marry a divorced woman commits adultery. " |
| 33 | Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients 'You shall not swear falsely', and 'You shall make atonement for your oaths to Yahweh'. |
| 34 | Now I say to you not to swear at all, not by the heaven, because it is the throne of Yahweh, |
| 35 | nor by the earth, because it is a footstool for His feet, nor upon Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king, |
| 36 | nor should you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. |
| 37 | Now your word must be yea, yea, no, no, and what is in excess of these is from of evil. " |
| 38 | You have heard that it has been said 'An eye for an eye' and 'A tooth for a tooth'. |
| 39 | Now I say to you, not to oppose evil, but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn for him also the other. |
| 40 | And to him desiring for you to be judged and to receive your cloak, give up to him also the shirt. |
| 41 | And whoever shall press you for one mile, go with him two. |
| 42 | Give to him asking you, and you should not turn away from him wishing to borrow from you. " |
| 43 | You have heard that it has been said 'You shall love him near you' and 'You shall hate your enemy'. |
| 44 | Now I say to you: love your enemies and pray for those persecuting you, |
| 45 | that you may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens, because His sun rises upon evil and good and rains upon righteous and unrighteous. |
| 46 | For if you should love those loving you, what reward do you have? Do not also the tax-collectors do the same? |
| 47 | And if you should greet your brethren only, what do you do that is extraordinary? Do not also the heathens do the same? |
| 48 | Therefore you shall be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. |
