  1. traitor. And he came down among them, and stood on a level place, and the multitude of
    his disciples, and a great number of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea
    coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear

  2. him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were troubled by unclean spirits:
    and they were healed.

  3. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for power went out of him, and healed
    them all.

  4. And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are ye poor: for your`s is the
    kingdom of God.

  5. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for
    ye shall laught.

  6. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their
    company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man`s

  7. sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for you: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven:
    for according to

  8. these things did their fathers unto the prophets. But woe unto you that are rich! for ye
    have consolation

  9. in full. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for
    ye

  10. shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for
    according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.

  11. But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do

  12. good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you,

  13. and pray for them which despitefully use you.Unto him that smiteth thee on the one
    cheek, offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloke, withhold

  14. not thy coat also. Give every man that asketh of thee: and of him that taketh away thy
    goods ask them.

  15. not again. and as ye would that men should do to you,

  16. do ye also to them likewise. And if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
    sinners also love those

  17. that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for
    sinners also do

  18. the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for
    sinners also lend to 35. sinners, to receive equal things.But love ye your enemies, and do
    good, and lend, hoping for nothing again: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons
    of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to

  19. the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is

  20. merciful. And Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be
    condemned: release

  21. and ye shall be released: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
    down, and shaken together, and running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with the
    same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

  22. And he spake a parable unto them, "Can the blind lead
