And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:

and he opened his mouth, and taught them, and said:

But I say to you, That every one who is angry with his brother rashly, is obnoxious to judgment: and every one that saith to his brother, Raka! is obnoxious to the council: and every one that shall say, Fool is obnoxious to hell-fire.

But I say to you, That whoever gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth adultery with her in his heart.

It hath been said, That if a man will put away his wife, he must give her a writing of divorcement.

But I say to you, That whoever putteth away his wife, except for the offence of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and he that taketh the divorced woman, committeth adultery.

and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.

that ye may be the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon the unrighteous.

And who of you that shall be anxious, can add to his stature a cubit?

Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was arrayed like one of them.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.

For what man is there among you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

Every one therefore that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them, will be like to a wise man, one that built his house upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them not, will be like a foolish man that built his house upon sand.

And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

And Jesus stretched forth his hand, touched him, and said: I will: be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus said to the centurion. Go; be it to thee as thou hast believed. And his child was cured in that same hour.

And Jesus came to the house of Simon and saw his wife's mother prostrate, confined by a fever.

Jesus said to him, For foxes there are holes, and for the birds of heaven there are nests; but for the Son of man, there is not where he may recline his head.

And another of his disciples said to him: My Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
