Father The Lord Thy God

Suffer it to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of mouth of God, it is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, Get thee hence Satan for it is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve, Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand Follow me and I will make you fishers of men, Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted, Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled, Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy, Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God, Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake for thiers is the kingdom of heaven, Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake, rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you, ye are the salt of the earth but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men, ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on an hill cannot be hid, neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven, Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfill for verily I say unto you Till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven for I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven, ye have heard it was said by them of old time, thou shalt not kill and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment and whosoever shall say to his brother Raca shall be in danger of the council but whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire, Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee, Leave there thy gift before the altar and go thy way first be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift agree with thane adversary quickly whiles thou art in the way with him lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge and the judge deliver thee to the officer and thou be cast into prison Verily I say unto thee Thou shalt by no means come out thence till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing, ye have heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery but I say unto you, That whosoever looked on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart and if thy right eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell, It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement, But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication causeth her to commit adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery again ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time Thou shalt not forswear thyself but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths But I say unto you, Swear not at all neither by heaven for it is God’s throne nor by the earth for it is his footstool neither by Jerusalem for it is the city of the great King, neither shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair white or black but let your communication be yea yea, nay nay for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil, ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you that ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also and if any man will sue thee at the law and take away thy coat let him have thy cloke also and whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile go with him twain give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away, Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy but I say unto you Love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust for if ye love them which love you what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same and if ye salute your brethren only what do ye more than others do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect, Take heed that ye do not your alms before men to be seen of them otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven, therefore when thou doest thine alms do not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward but when thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth that tine alms may be in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly and when thou prayest thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are for they love standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men Verily I say unto you they have their reward but thou when thou prayest enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly but when ye pray use not vain Repetitions as the heathen do for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking be not ye therefore like unto them for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him after this manner therefore pray ye Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen, for if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you but if forgive not men their trespasses neither will you Father forgive your trespasses, moreover when ye fast be not as the hypocrites of a sad countenance for they disfigure their face that they may appear unto men to fast Verily I say unto you they have their reward but thou when thou fastest anoint thine head and wash thy face that appear not unto men to fast but unto thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly, Lay not up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through not steal for where your treasure is there will your heart be also the light of the body is the eye if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light but if thine eye be evil thy whole body shall be full of darkness if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness how great is that darkness! No man can serve two master for either he will hate the one and love other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other ye cannot serve God and mammon therefore I say unto you take no thought for your life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink not yet for your body what ye shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment behold the fowls of the air for they sow not neither do they reap nor gather into barns yet your heavenly Father feedeth them are ye not much better than they which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature and why take ye thought for raiment consider the lilies of the field how they grow they toil not neither do they spin and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these where if God so clothe the grass of the field which to day is and to morrow is cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you o ye of little faith therefore take no thought what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithal shall we be clothed for after all these things do the gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these thing but seek ye frist the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all there things shall be added unto you take therefore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, Judge not that ye be not judged for with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye or how wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye thou hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye give not that which is holy unto the dogs neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you for everyone that askethreceiveth and he that seekethfindeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone or if he ask a fish will he give him a serpent if ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him therefore all things whatsoever ye would do that men should do to you do ye even so to them for this is the law and the prophets enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is that gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there he that find it, beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves ye shall know them by their fruits do men gather grapes of thorns or figs od thistles even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven many will say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful workds and then will I profess unto them I never knew you depart from me ye that work iniquity therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of my and doeth them I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock and every that hearth these saying of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell and great was the fall of it, I will be thou clean see thou tell no man but go thy way shew thyself to the priest and offer the gift that moses commanded for a testimony unto them I will come and heal him Verily I say unto you I have not found so great Faith no not in Israel abd I say unto you that many shall come from east and wast and shall sit down with Abraham and issaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth go thy way and as thou hast believed so be it done unto thee, the foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head Follow me and let the dead bury their dead why are ye fearful o ye of little faith go son be of good cheer thy sins be forgiven thee wherefore think ye evil in your hearts for whether is easier to say thy sins be forgiven thee or to say arise and walk but that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins arise take up thy bed and go unto thine house Follow me they that be whole need not a physician but they that are sick but go ye and learn what that meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them and then shall they fast, no man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment and the rent is made worse neither do men put new wine into old bottles else the bottles break and the wine runneth out and the bottles perish but they put new wine into new bottles and both are preserved Daughter be of good comfort thy faith hath made thee whole give place for the maid is not dead but sleepeth believe ye that I am able to do this According to your faith be it unto you See that no man know it that harvest truly is plenteous but labourers are few pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will sent forth labourers into his harvest. Go not into the way of the gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not but go rather to the lost sheep of the house pf Israel and as ye go preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand Heal the sick cleanse the lepers rise the dead cast out devils freely ye have received freely give provide neither gold nor silver nor brass in your purses nor scrips for your journey neither two coats neither shoes nor staves for the workman is worthy of his meat and into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter enquire who in it is worthy and there abide til ye go thence and when ye come into an house salute it and if the house be worthy let your peace come upon it but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you and whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words when ye depart out of that house or city shake off the dust of your feet Verily I say unto you it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city behold I sent you forth as a sheep in the midst of wolves be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves but beware of men for they shall deliver you up to the councils and they will scourge you in their synagogues and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sakes for a testimony against them and the gentiles but when they deliver you up take no thought how or what ye shall speak for it is shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak for it is not ye that speak but the spirit of your Father which speaketh in you, and the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father child and the children shall rise up against their parent and cause them to be put to death and ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake but he that endureth to the end shall be saved but when they persecute you in this city flee ye into another for verily I say unto you ye shall not have gone over the cities of israel till the Son of man be coming, the disciple is not above his master nor the servant above his lord it is enough for the disciple that he be as his master and the servant as his lord if they have called the master of the house Beelzebub how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known, what I tell you in darkness that speak ye in light and what ye hear in light that preach ye upon the housetops and fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill a soul but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell, are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered Fear ye not therefore ye are of more value than many sparrows, whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven, but whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven, Think not that I am come to sent peace on earth, I came not to sent peace, but a sword for I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter in law against her mother in law and a man’s foe shall be they of his own household, He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me and he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me, he that findeth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it he that receiveth you receiveth me and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me, he that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of aa righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward and whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward, Go and shew john again those things which ye do hear and see, the blind receive their sight and the lame walk the leapers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are rised up and the poor have the gosple to preached to them and blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me, what went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in king’s houses, but what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than prophet for this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I sent my messenger before thy face, which shall perpare thy way before thee, verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hast not risen a greater than john the baptist notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he and from the day of john the baptist untill now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force, for all the prophets and the law prophesied untill John and if ye will receive it, this is elias which was for to come, he that hath ears to hear let him hear but whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets and calling unto their fellows and saying we have piped unto you and ye have not danced, we have mourned unto you and ye have not lamented. For john came neither eating nor drinking and they say he hath a devil, The Son of man came eatting nor drinking nd they say Behold a man gluttonous and a winebibber a friend of publicans and sinners, but wisdom is justufied of her children Woe unto thee Chorazin! Woe unto thee Bethsaida! For if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in tyre and sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes but I say unto you it shall be more tolerable for tyre and sidon at the day of judgment than for you and thou Capernaum which art exalted unto heaven shall be brought down to hell for if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in sodom it would have remained until this day, but I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land od sodom in the day of judgement than for thee. I thank thee O Father, Lord of heaven and earth because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast reveled them unto babes Even so Father for so it seems good in thy sight all things are delivered unto me of my father and no man knoweth the Son but the Father neither knoweth aby mn the Father save the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him, Come unto me all ye tht labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest take my yoke and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your soul for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Have ye not read what david did when he was an hungerd and they that were with him how he entered into the house of God and did eat the shewbread which was not lawful for him to eat neather for them which were with him but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law how tht on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profne the sabbath and are blameless? But I say unto you that in this place is one greater than the temple but if ye had known what this meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice ye would not have condemned the guiltless for the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath day, what man shall there be among you that shall have one sheep and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day will he not lay hold on it and lift it out? How much then is man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on sabbath days, Stretch forth thine hand, evert kingdom divided against itself is brought to desoltion and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand and if Satan cast out Satan he is divided against himself how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges But if I cast out devils by spirit of God the the kingdom of God is come unto you or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house and spoil his goods except he frist bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house, he that is not with me is against me nd he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad, wherefore I say unto you all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men and whosoever speaketh a word against Son of man, it shall be forgiven him but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost is shall not be forgiven him neither in this world neither in the world to come ither make the tree good and his fruit good or else make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers how can ye being evil speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringth forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things, But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment for by thy word thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign and there shall no sign be given to it but sign of the prophet Jonas, For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, the men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it for she came from the uttermost part of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here, when the unclean spirit is gone out of man, he walketh through dry places seeking rest and findeth none, then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out, and when he is come he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished then goeth he and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there and the last state of that man is worse than the first even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation, who is my mother? And who are my brethren? Behold my mother and my brethren for whosoever shall do the will of my father which is in heaven the same is my brother and sister and mother. Behold a sower went forth to sow and when he sowed some seeds fell by the way side and the fowls came and devoured them up, some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth and when the sun was up they were scorched and because they had no root, they withered away and some fell among thorns and the thorns sprung up and choked them but other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold, who hast ears to her, let him hear. Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given, for whosoever hath, to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath, therefore speak I to them in parables, because they seeing see not and hearing they hear not, nether do they understand and in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias which saith, by hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive for this people’s heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes they have closed least at any time they should see with their eye, and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart and should be converted and I should heal them, but blessed re your eyes for they see and your ear for they hear for verily I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them, hear ye therefore the parable of sower, when any one heareth the word of the kingdom and understand it not, then cometh the wicked one and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart, this is he which received seed by the way side, but he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word and anon with joy receiveth it, yet hath he not root in himself, but during for a while for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he became unfruitful, but he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some n hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way, but when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also, so the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done this, the servants said unto him, wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay, lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them, let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn, the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all seed, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree, so that the bird of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof, the kingdom of heaven is liken unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened, he that soweth the good seed is the Son of man, the field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares re the children of the wicked one, the enemy that sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels, as therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire so shall it be in the end of this world, The Son of man shall sent forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire, there shall be wiling and gnashing of teeth, then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, who hath ears to hear, let him hear, again the kingdom of heven is like unto treasure hid in a field, which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field, again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man, seeking goodly pearls, who, when he had found one pearls of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it, again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind, which, when it was full they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away, so shall it be at the end of the world, the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just and shall cast them into the furnace of fire, there shall be wailing gnashing of teeth, have ye understood all these things? Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. A prophet is not without honour save in his own country, and in his own house, they need not depart give ye them to eat, bring them hither to me, be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid, come, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt, why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded saying, honour thy father and mother and he that curseth father or mother, let him die the death, but ye say whosoever shall say to his father or his mother it is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightiest be profited by me, and honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free, thus have ye made the commandment of God none effect by your tradition, ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you saying this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, but in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men, hear and understand, not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man, every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up let them alone, they be blind leader of the blind and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch, are ye also yet without understanding, do not ye yet understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man, for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies, these are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel, it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to dogs, O woman, great is thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou wilt, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat and I will not sent them away fasting, least they faint in the way, how many loaves have ye? When it is evening, ye say it will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning, it will be foul weather to day, for the sky is red and lowring, O hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas, take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourself, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye yet not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spank it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? But whom say ye that I am? Blessed art thou Simon Barjona for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven, and I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will built my church and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it and I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, Get thee behind me Satan, thou art an offense unto me, for thou savourest not the things that be of god, but those that be of men, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me, for whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever lose his life for my sake shall find it, for what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works, Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom, Arise and be not afraid, tell the vision to no man until the Son of man be risen again from the dead, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things, but I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed, likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me, because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible unto you, howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again, what thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children? or of strangers?, then are the children free notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money, that take and give unto them for me and thee, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven, whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven, and whoso shall receive one of such little child in my name receiveth me But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea, Woe unto the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come, but woe to tht man by whom the offence cometh! Wherefore if thy hnd or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee, it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire, and if thine eye offend thee pluck it out, and cast it from thee, it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rther than hving two eyes to be cast into hell fire, take heed that ye despise not one of these little one, for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven for the Son of man is come to save that which was lost, how think ye? If man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine and goeth into the mountains and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray, Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish, Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go nd tell him his fault between thee and him lone, if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother, But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established,and if he shall neglect to her them, tell it unto the church, but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican, Verily I say unto you Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth and shall be loosed in heaven, Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven, for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them, I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but, untill seventy times seven, Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants, and when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents, but forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had and payment to be made,The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all, then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgve him the debt, but the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence, and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying , Pay me that thou owest, and his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all, and he would not, but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt, so when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their all that was done, then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me, Shouldest not thou also had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him, So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses, have ye not read, that he made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh, what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so, and I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his ife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery, and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery,All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given, for there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb, and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men, and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake, he that is able to receive it, let him receive it, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God, but if thou wilt enter intolife, keep the commandments, Thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother, and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have terasure in heaven, and come and follow me, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven, and again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible, verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribs of Israel, and every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall inherit everlasting life, but many that are frist shll be last, and the last shall be frist,
