Then  ¹Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be  ²tempted by the  ³devil.

And when He had fasted  ¹forty days and forty nights, afterward He became hungry.

And the  ¹tempter came and said to Him, If You are the  ²Son of God, speak that these  ³stones may become loaves of bread.

But He answered and said,  ¹It is written,  ²“Man shall not live on  ³bread alone, but on every  ⁴word that proceeds out through the  ⁵mouth of God.”

Then the devil took Him into the holy city and set Him on the  ¹wing of the  ²temple,

And said to Him, If You are the Son of God,  ¹cast Yourself down; for  ²it is written, “To His angels He shall give charge concerning You, and on their hands they shall bear You up, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.”

Jesus said to him,  ¹Again, it is written, “You shall not  ²test the Lord your God.”

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the  ¹kingdoms of the world and their glory.

And he said to Him,  ¹All these will I give You if You will fall down and worship me.

Then Jesus said to him, Go away,  ¹Satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him  ²only shall you serve.”

Then the devil  ¹left Him, and behold,  ²angels came and ministered to Him.

Now when He heard that John was delivered up, He  ¹withdrew into Galilee.

And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is beside the sea in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

In order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,  ¹Galilee of the Gentiles:

The people sitting in darkness have seen a  ¹great light; and to those sitting in the region and shadow of death, to them light has risen.”

From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say,  ¹Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

And while He was walking beside the  ¹Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,  ²casting a  ³net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And He said to them, Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And immediately leaving the nets, they  ¹followed Him.

And going on from there, He saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father,  ¹mending their nets; and He called them.

And immediately leaving the boat and their father, they  ¹followed Him.

And Jesus went about in all of Galilee, teaching in their  ¹synagogues and proclaiming the  ²gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

And the report concerning Him went out into all of Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those afflicted with various diseases and torments and those possessed by demons and epileptics and paralytics; and He healed them.

And great  ¹crowds followed Him from Galilee and  ²Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.

And when He saw the crowds, He  ¹went up to the mountain. And after He sat down, His  ²disciples came to Him.

And opening His mouth, He taught them, saying,

 ¹Blessed are the  ²poor in  ³spirit, for theirs is the  ⁴kingdom of the heavens.

Blessed are those who  ¹mourn, for they shall be  ²comforted.

Blessed are the  ¹meek, for they shall  ²inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for  ¹righteousness, for they shall be  ²satisfied.

Blessed are the  ¹merciful, for they shall be  ²shown mercy.

Blessed are the  ¹pure in heart, for they shall  ²see God.

Blessed are the  ¹peacemakers, for they shall be called the  ²sons of God.

Blessed are those who are  ¹persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for  ²theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.

Blessed are you when they  ¹reproach and persecute you, and while speaking lies, say every evil thing against you  ²because of Me.

Rejoice and exult, for your  ¹reward is great in the heavens; for so they persecuted the  ²prophets who were before you.

 ¹You are the  ²salt of the earth. But if the salt has become  ³tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything except to be  ⁴cast out and  ⁵trampled underfoot by men.

You are the  ¹light of the world. It is impossible for a  ²city situated upon a mountain to be hidden.

Nor do men light a lamp and place it under the  ¹bushel, but on the  ²lampstand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your  ¹good works and  ²glorify your  ³Father who is in the heavens.

 ¹Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish, but to  ²fulfill.

For truly I say to you, Until  ¹heaven and earth pass away, one  ²iota or one  ³serif shall by no means pass away from the law until all come to pass.

Therefore whoever annuls one of the least of these  ¹commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever practices and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

For I say to you that unless your  ¹righteousness surpasses that of the  ²scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means  ³enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, “You shall not murder, and whoever murders shall be liable to the judgment.”

But  ¹I say to you that everyone who is  ²angry with his  ³brother shall be liable to the  ⁴judgment. And whoever says to his brother,  ⁵Raca, shall be liable to the judgment of the  ⁶Sanhedrin; and whoever says,  ⁷Moreh, shall be liable to the  ⁸Gehenna of fire.

Therefore if you are offering your  ¹gift at the  ²altar and there you remember that your brother has  ³something against you,

Leave your gift there before the altar, and  ¹first go and  ²be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Be well disposed  ¹quickly toward your  ²opponent at law, while you are with him  ³on the way, lest the opponent  ⁴deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

Truly I say to you, You shall by no means  ¹come out from there until you pay the last  ²quadrans.

You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery.”

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his  ¹heart.

So if your right eye stumbles you,  ¹pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into  ²Gehenna.

And if your right hand stumbles you,  ¹cut it off and cast it from you, for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to pass away into Gehenna.

And it was said, Whoever  ¹divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.

But I say to you that  ¹everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of  ²fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her who has been divorced commits adultery.

Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients,  ¹“You shall not break an oath, but you shall  ²render to the Lord your oaths.”

But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by  ¹heaven, because it is the throne of God;

Nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; nor unto Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King;

Neither shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

But let your word be,  ¹Yes, yes; No, no; for anything more than these is  ²of  ³the evil one.

You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.”

But I tell you not to resist him who is evil; rather whoever slaps you on your right cheek,  ¹turn to him the other also.

And to him who wishes to sue you and take your  ¹tunic, yield to him your cloak also;

And whoever compels you to go one  ¹mile, go with him two.

To him who asks of you,  ¹give; and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.

You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.”

But I say to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,

So that you may become  ¹sons of your Father who is in the heavens, because He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and  ²sends rain on the just and the unjust.

For if you love those who love you, what  ¹reward do you have? Do not even the  ²tax collectors do the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what better thing are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

You therefore shall be  ¹perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

 ¹But take care not to do your  ²righteousness  ³before men in order to be gazed at by them; otherwise, you have no reward with your  ⁴Father who is in the heavens.

Therefore when you give alms, do not  ¹sound a trumpet before you as the  ²hypocrites do in the  ³synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward in full.

But you, when you give alms, do not let your  ¹left hand know what your right hand is doing,

So that your alms may be in  ¹secret; and your Father who  ²sees in secret will  ³repay you.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have  ¹their reward in full.

But you, when you pray, enter into your  ¹private room, and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

And in praying do  ¹not babble empty words as the Gentiles do; for they suppose that in their multiplicity of words they will be heard.

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows the things that you have need of before you  ¹ask Him.

You then pray  ¹in this way: Our Father who is in the heavens,  ²Your name be sanctified;

Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on  ¹earth.

 ¹Give us  ²today our  ³daily bread.

And  ¹forgive us our debts, as we also have  ¹forgiven our debtors.

And do  ¹not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from  ²the evil one.  ³For Yours is the  ⁴kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  ⁵Amen.

 ¹For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;

But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.

And when you  ¹fast, do not be like the sullen-faced hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly I say to you, They have their reward in full.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

So that you may not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

 ¹Do not store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves dig through and steal.

But  ¹store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not dig through nor steal.

For where your treasure is, there will your  ¹heart be also.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is  ¹single, your whole body will be full of light;

But if your eye is  ¹evil, your whole body will be dark. If then the  ²light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

No one can  ¹serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will  ²hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and  ³mammon.

Because of this, I say to you, Do not be anxious for your  ¹life, what you should eat or what you should drink; nor for your body, what you should put on. Is not the life  ²more than food, and the body than clothing?

Look at the birds of heaven. They do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are you not of more value than they?

Who among you by being anxious can add one cubit to  ¹his stature?

And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider well the  ¹lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin thread.

But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

And if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, you of little faith?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?

For all these things the Gentiles are anxiously seeking. For your  ¹heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

But seek first His  ¹kingdom and His  ¹righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious for  ¹tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself; sufficient for the day is its own  ²evil.
