DB1 | The Sermon on the Mount Mt.5.1-7.29 | NEB Contents | notes| 5 | New English Bible (New Testament) | Passage | New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
| 5 1 | WHEN HE SAW the crowds he went up the hill. There he took his seat, and when his disciples had gathered round him | The Sermon on the Mount Mt.5.1-7.29 (Galilee) | Ἰδὼν δὲ τοὺς ὀχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὀρος· καὶ καθίσαντος αὐτοῦ προσῆλθαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· |
| 2 | he began to address them. And this is the teaching he gave: | καὶ ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς λέγων, | |
| 3 | 'How blest are those who know that they are poor, the kingdom of Heaven is theirs. | The Beatitudes Mt.5.3-11 (Galilee) | Lk.6.20-23 | Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ τῷ πνεύματι, ὁτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν. |
| 4 | How blest are the sorrowful; they shall find consolation. | μακάριοι οἱ πενθοῦντες, ὁτι αὐτοὶ παρακληθήσονται. | |
| 5 | How blest are those of a gentle spirit; they shall have the earth for their possession. | μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὁτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν. | |
| 6 | How blest are those who hunger and thirst to see right prevail; Or: to do what is right. they shall be satisfied. | μακάριοι οἱ πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ὁτι αὐτοὶ χορτασθήσονται. | |
| 7 | How blest are those who show mercy; mercy shall be shown to them. | μακάριοι οἱ ἐλεήμονες, ὁτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται. | |
| 8 | How blest are those whose hearts are pure; they shall see God. | μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὁτι αὐτοὶ τὸν θεὸν ὀψονται. | |
| 9 | How blest are the peacemakers; God shall call them his sons. | μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὁτι αὐτοὶ υἱοὶ θεοῦ κληθήσονται. | |
| 10 | How blest are those who have suffered persecution for the cause of right; the kingdom of Heaven is theirs. | μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἑνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὁτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν. | |
| 11 | 'How blest you are, when you suffer insults and persecution and every kind of calumny for my sake. | μακάριοί ἐστε ὁταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ διώξωσιν καὶ εἰπωσιν πᾶν πονηρὸν καθ' ὑμῶν ψευδόμενοι ἑνεκεν ἐμοῦ· | |
| 12 | Accept it with gladness and exultation, for you have a rich reward in heaven; in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. | χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· οὑτως γὰρ ἐδίωξαν τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς πρὸ ὑμῶν. | |
| 13 | 'You are salt to the world. And if salt becomes tasteless, how is its saltness to be restored? It is now good for nothing but to be thrown away and trodden underfoot. | Salt and Light Mt.5.13-16 (Galilee) | Mk.9.50 | Lk.14.34-35 | Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ ἀλας τῆς γῆς· ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἀλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἀλισθήσεταὶ εἰς οὐδὲν ἰσχύει ἐτι εἰ μὴ βληθὲν ἐξω καταπατεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων. |
| 14 | 'You are light for all the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden. | Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου. οὐ δύναται πόλις κρυβῆναι ἐπάνω ὀρους κειμένη· | |
| 15 | When a lamp is lit, it is not put under the meal-tub, but on the lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. | οὐδὲ καίουσιν λύχνον καὶ τιθέασιν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον ἀλλ' ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, καὶ λάμπει πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ. | |
| 16 | And you, like the lamp, must shed light among your fellows, so that, when they see the good you do, they may give praise to your Father in heaven. | οὑτως λαμψάτω τὸ φῶς ὑμῶν ἐμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁπως ἰδωσιν ὑμῶν τὰ καλὰ ἐργα καὶ δοξάσωσιν τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν τὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. | |
| 17 | 'DO NOT SUPPOSE that I have come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to complete. | Teaching about the Law Mt.5.17-20 (Galilee) | Μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς προφήτας· οὐκ ἦλθον καταλῦσαι ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι. |
| 18 | I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a stroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has happened. Or: before all that it stands for is achieved. | ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἑως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ, ἰῶτα ἓν ἢ μία κεραία οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου ἑως ἂν πάντα γένηται. | |
| 19 | If any man therefore sets aside even the least of the Law's demands, and teaches others to do the same, he will have the lowest place in the kingdom of Heaven, whereas anyone who keeps the Law and teaches others so will stand high in the kingdom of Heaven. | ὃς ἐὰν οὖν λύσῃ μίαν τῶν ἐντολῶν τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων καὶ διδάξῃ οὑτως τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἐλάχιστος κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν· ὃς δ' ἂν ποιήσῃ καὶ διδά ξῃ, οὗτος μέγας κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν. | |
| 20 | I tell you, unless you show yourselves far better men than the Pharisees and the doctors of the law, you can never enter the kingdom of Heaven. | λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ περισσεύσῃ ὑμῶν ἡ δικαιοσύνη πλεῖον τῶν γραμματέων καὶ Φαρισαίων, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. | |
| 21 | 'You have learned that our forefathers were told, "Do not commit murder; anyone who commits murder must be brought to judgement." | Teaching about Anger Mt.5.21-26 (Galilee) | Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, Οὐ φονεύσεις· ὃς δ' ἂν φονεύσῃ, ἐνοχος ἐσται τῇ κρίσει. |
| 22 | But what I tell you is this: Anyone who nurses anger against his brother Some witnesses insert: without good cause. must be brought to judgement. If he abuses his brother he must answer for it to the court; if he sneers at him he will have to answer for it in the fires of hell. | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὀργιζόμενος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἐνοχος ἐσται τῇ κρίσει· ὃς δ' ἂν εἰπῃ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, Ῥακά, ἐνοχος ἐσται τῷ συνεδρίῳ· ὃς δ' ἂ ν εἰπῃ, Μωρέ, ἐνοχος ἔσται εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός. | |
| 23 | 'If, when you are bringing your gift to the altar, you suddenly remember that your brother has a grievance against you, | ἐὰν οὖν προσφέρῃς τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κἀκεῖ μνησθῇς ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἐχει τι κατὰ σοῦ, | |
| 24 | leave your gift where it is before the altar. First go and make your peace with your brother, and only then come back and offer your gift. | ἀφες ἐκεῖ τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐμπροσθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ὑπαγε πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, καὶ τότε ἐλθὼν πρόσφερε τὸ δῶρόν σου. | |
| 25 | 'If someone sues you, come to terms with him promptly while you are both on your way to court; otherwise he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the constable, and you will be put in jail. | ἰσθι εὐνοῶν τῷ ἀντιδίκῳ σου ταχὺ ἑως ὁτου εἶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, μήποτέ σε παραδῷ ὁ ἀντίδικος τῷ κριτῇ, καὶ ὁ κριτὴς τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ, καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν βληθήσῃ· | |
| 26 | I tell you, once you are there you will not be let out till you have paid the last farthing. | ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἑως ἂν ἀποδῷς τὸν ἐσχατον κοδράντην. | |
| 27 | 'You have learned that they were told, "Do not commit adultery." | Teaching about Adultery Mt.5.27-30 (Galilee) | Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, Οὐ μοιχεύσεις. |
| 28 | But what I tell you is this: If a man looks on a woman with a lustful eye he has already committed adultery with her in his heart. | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτὴν ἠδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. | |
| 29 | 'If your right eye leads you astray, tear it out and fling it away; it is better for you to lose one part of your body than for the whole of it to be thrown into hell. | εἰ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ὁ δεξιὸς σκανδαλίζει σε, ἐξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὁλον τὸ σῶμά σου βληθῇ εἰς γέενναν. | |
| 30 | And if your right hand is your undoing, cut it off and fling it away; it is better for you to lose one part of your body than for the whole of it to go to hell. | καὶ εἰ ἡ δεξιά σου χεὶρ σκανδαλίζει σε, ἐκκοψον αὐτὴν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὁλον τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς γέενναν ἀπέλθῃ. | |
| 31 | 'They were told, "A man who divorces his wife must give her a note of dismissal." | Teaching about Divorce Mt.5.31-32 (Galilee) | Mt.19.9 | Mk.10.11-11.12 | Lk.16.18 | Ἐρρέθη δέ, Ὅς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, δότω αὐτῇ ἀποστάσιον. |
| 32 | But what I tell you is this: If a man divorces his wife for any cause other than unchastity he involves her in adultery; and anyone who marries a woman so divorced commits adultery. | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ παρεκτὸς λόγου πορνείας ποιεῖ αὐτὴν μοιχευθῆναι, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσῃ μοιχᾶται. | |
| 33 | 'Again, you have learned that they were told, "Do not break your oath", and, "Oaths sworn to the Lord must be kept." | Teaching about Oaths Mt.5.33-37 | Lv.19.12 | Nu.30.2 | Dt.23.21 | Πάλιν ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, Οὐκ ἐπιορκήσεις, ἀποδώσεις δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ τοὺς ὅρκους σου. |
| 34 | But what I tell you is this: You are not to swear at all—not by heaven, for it is God's throne, | - But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, Mt.5.34 | Is.66.1 | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ὀμόσαι ὁλως· μήτε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὅτι θρόνος ἐστὶν τοῦ θεοῦ· |
| 35 | nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King, | μήτε ἐν ὑποπόδιόν ἐστιν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· μήτε εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, ὅτι πόλις ἐστὶν τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως· | |
| 36 | nor by your own head, because you cannot turn one hair of it white or black. | μήτε ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ σου ὀμόσῃς, ὅτι οὐ δύνασαι μίαν τρίχα λευκὴν ποιῆσαι ἢ μέλαιναν. | |
| 37 | Plain "Yes" or "No" is all you need to say; anything beyond that comes from the devil. | ἐστω δὲ ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν ναὶ ναί, οὒ οὐ· τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τούτων ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐστιν. | |
| 38 | 'You have learned that they were told, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." | Teaching about Retaliation Mt.5.38-42 (Galilee) | Lk.6.29-30 | Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, Ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ καὶ ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος. |
| 39 | But what I tell you is this: Do not set yourself against the man who wrongs you. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn and offer him your left. | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ἀντιστῆναι τῷ πονηρῷ· ἀλλ' ὁστις σε ῥαπίζει εἰς τὴν δεξιὰν σιαγόνα σου, στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἀλλην· | |
| 40 | If a man wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. | καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἀφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον· | |
| 41 | If a man in authority makes you go one mile, go with him two. | καὶ ὁστις σε ἀγγαρεύσει μίλιον ἑν, ὑπαγε μετ' αὐτοῦ δύο. | |
| 42 | Give when you are asked to give; and do not turn your back on a man who wants to borrow. | τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δός, καὶ τὸν θέλοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ δανίσασθαι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς. | |
| 43 | 'You have learned that they were told, "Love your neighbour, hate your enemy." | Love for Enemies Mt.5.43-48 (Galilee) | Lk.6.27-28 | Lk.6.32-36 | Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου καὶ μισήσεις τὸν ἐχθρόν σου. |
| 44 | But what I tell you is this: Love your enemies Some witnesses insert: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you. and pray for your persecutors; Some witnesses insert: and those who treat you spitefully. | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν διωκόντων ὑμᾶς, | |
| 45 | only so can you be children of your heavenly Father, who makes his sun rise on good and bad alike, and sends the rain on the honest and the dishonest. | ὁπως γένησθε υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς, ὅτι τὸν ἡλιον αὐτοῦ ἀνατέλλει ἐπὶ πονηροὺς καὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ βρέχει ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ἀδίκους. | |
| 46 | If you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Surely the tax-gatherers do as much as that. | ἐὰν γὰρ ἀγαπήσητε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, τίνα μισθὸν ἐχετὲ; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; | |
| 47 | And if you greet only your brothers, what is there extraordinary about that? Even the heathen do as much. | καὶ ἐὰν ἀσπάσησθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν μόνον, τί περισσὸν ποιεῖτὲ; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ ἐθνικοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; | |
| 48 | You must therefore be all goodness, just as your heavenly Father is all good. | Ἐσεσθε οὖν ὑμεῖς τέλειοι ὡς ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος τέλειός ἐστιν. | |
| 6 1 | 'BE CAREFUL not to make a show of your religion before men; if you do, no reward awaits you in your Father's house in heaven. | Teaching about Almsgiving Mt.6.1-4 (Galilee) | Προσέχετε δὲ τὴν δικαιοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἐμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἐχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. |
| 2 | 'Thus, when you do some act of charity, do not announce it with a flourish of trumpets, as the hypocrites do in synagogue and in the streets to win admiration from men. I tell you this: they have their reward already. | Ὁταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἐμπροσθέν σου, ὡσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὁπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγ ω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθον αὐτῶν. | |
| 3 | No; when you do some act of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing; | σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου, | |
| 4 | your good deed must be secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Some winesses add: openly. | ὁπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι. | |
| 5 | 'Again, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; they love to say their prayers standing up in synagogue and at the street-corners, for everyone to see them. I tell you this: they have their reward already. | Teaching about Prayer Mt.6.5-15 (Galilee) | Lk.11.2-4 | Καὶ ὁταν προσεύχησθε, οὐκ ἐσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί· ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι, ὁπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. |
| 6 | But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. Some witnesses add: openly. | σὺ δὲ ὁταν προσεύχῃ, εἰσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμεῖόν σου καὶ κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι. | |
| 7 | 'In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. | Προσευχόμενοι δὲ μὴ βατταλογήσητε ὡσπερ οἱ ἐθνικοί, δοκοῦσιν γὰρ ὅτι ἐν τῇ πολυλογίᾳ αὐτῶν εἰσακουσθήσονται. | |
| 8 | Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. | μὴ οὖν ὁμοιωθῆτε αὐτοῖς, οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὧν χρείαν ἐχετε πρὸ τοῦ ὑμᾶς αἰτῆσαι αὐτόν. | |
| 9 | 'This is how you should pray:
Thy name be hallowed, | Οὑτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, | |
| 10 | Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as in heaven. | ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς. | |
| 11 | Give us today our daily bread. Or: our bread for the morrow. | Τὸν ἀρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον· | |
| 12 | Forgive us the wrong we have done, As we have forgiven those who have wronged us. | Καὶ ἀφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν· | |
| 13 | And do not bring us to the test, But save us from the evil one." Or: from evil. Some witnesses add: For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. | καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ. | |
| 14 | For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; | Ἐὰν γὰρ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ἀφήσει καὶ ὑμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος· | |
| 15 | but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father. | ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν. | |
| 16 | 'So too when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites: they make their faces unsightly so that other people may see that they are fasting. I tell you this: they have their reward already. | Teaching about Fasting Mt.6.16-18 (Galilee) | Ὁταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί, ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὁπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν α ὐτῶν. |
| 17 | But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, | σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἀλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι, | |
| 18 | so that men may not see that you are fasting, but only your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will give you your reward. | ὁπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ ἀποδώσει σοι. | |
| 19 | 'DO NOT STORE UP for yourselves treasure on earth, where it grows rusty and moth-eaten, and thieves break in to steal it. | Treasure in Heaven Mt.6.19-21 (Galilee) | Lk.12.33-34 | Μὴ θησαυρίζετε ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὁπου σὴς καὶ βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὁπου κλέπται διορύσσουσιν καὶ κλέπτουσιν· |
| 20 | Store up treasure in heaven, where there is no moth and no rust to spoil it, no thieves to break in and steal. | θησαυρίζετε δὲ ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐν οὐρανῷ, ὁπου οὐτε σὴς οὐτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὁπου κλέπται οὐ διορύσσουσιν οὐδὲ κλέπτουσιν· | |
| 21 | For where your wealth is, there will your heart be also. | ὁπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρός σου, ἐκεῖ ἐσται καὶ ἡ καρδία σου. | |
| 22 | 'The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eyes are sound, you will have light for your whole body; | The Light of the Body Mt.6.22-23 (Galilee) | Lk.11.34-36 | Ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός. ἐὰν οὖν ᾖ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἀπλοῦς, ὁλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινὸν ἐσται· |
| 23 | if the eyes are bad, your whole body will be in darkness. If then the only light you have is darkness, the darkness is doubly dark. | ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρὸς ᾖ, ὁλον τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινὸν ἐσται. εἰ οὖν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν, τὸ σκότος πόσον. | |
| 24 | 'No servant can be slave to two masters; for either he will hate the first and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and think nothing of the second. You cannot serve God and Money. | God and Mammon Mt.6.24 (Galilee) | Lk.16.13 | Οὐδεὶς δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἑνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἑτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει· οὐ δύνασθε θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ. |
| 25 | 'Therefore I bid you put away anxious thoughts about food and drink to keep you alive, and clothes to cover your body. Surely life is more than food, the body more than clothes. | Care and Anxiety Mt.6.25-34 (Galilee) | Lk.12.22-34 | Διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί φάγητε ἢ τί πίητε, μηδὲ τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν τί ἐνδύσησθε· οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστιν τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδυ ματος; |
| 26 | Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow and reap and store in barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are worth more than the birds! | ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὅτι οὐ σπείρουσιν οὐδὲ θερίζουσιν οὐδὲ συνάγουσιν εἰς ἀποθήκας, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος τρέφει αὐτά· οὐχ ὑμεῖς μᾶλλον διαφέρε τε αὐτῶν; | |
| 27 | Is there a man of you who by anxious thought can add a foot to his height? Or: a day to his life. | τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν μεριμνῶν δύναται προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλικίαν αὐτοῦ πῆχυν ἑνὰ; | |
| 28 | And why be anxious about clothes? Consider how the lilies grow in the fields; they do not work, they do not spin; One witness reads: Consider the lilies: they neither card nor spin, nor labour. | καὶ περὶ ἐνδύματος τί μεριμνᾶτὲ καταμάθετε τὰ κρίνα τοῦ ἀγροῦ πῶς αὐξάνουσιν· οὐ κοπιῶσιν οὐδὲ νήθουσιν· | |
| 29 | and yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not attired like one of these. | λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδὲ Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων. | |
| 30 | But if that is how God clothes the grass in the fields, which is there today, and tomorrow is thrown on the stove, will he not all the more clothe you? | εἰ δὲ τὸν χόρτον τοῦ ἀγροῦ σήμερον ὀντα καὶ αὐριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον ὁ θεὸς οὑτως ἀμφιέννυσιν, οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοὶ; | |
| 31 | No, do not ask anxiously, "What are we to eat? What are we to drink? What shall we wear?" | μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε λέγοντες, Τί φάγωμεν; ἠ, Τί πίωμεν; ἠ, Τί περιβαλώμεθὰ, | |
| 32 | All these are things for the heathen to run after, not for you, because your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. | πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ ἐθνη ἐπιζητοῦσιν· οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἀπάντων. | |
| 33 | Set your mind on God's kingdom and his justice before everything else, and all the rest will come to you as well. | ζητεῖτε δὲ πρῶτον τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα πάντα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν. | |
| 34 | So do not be anxious about tomorrow; tomorrow will look after itself. Each day has troubles enough of its own. | μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε εἰς τὴν αὐριον, ἡ γὰρ αὐριον μεριμνήσει ἑαυτῆς· ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς. | |
| 7 1 | 'PASS NO JUDGEMENT, and you will not be judged. | Judging Others Mt.7.1-6 (Galilee) | Lk.6.37-38 | Lk.6.41-42 | Μὴ κρίνετε, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· |
| 2 | For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you. | ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίματι κρίνετε κριθήσεσθε, καὶ ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν. | |
| 3 | Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye, with never a thought for the great plank in your own? | τί δὲ βλέπεις τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, τὴν δὲ ἐν τῷ σῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δοκὸν οὐ κατανοεῖς; | |
| 4 | Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye", when all the time there is that plank in your own? | ἢ πῶς ἐρεῖς τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, ἀφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ δοκὸς ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ; | |
| 5 | You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's. | ὑποκριτά, ἐκβαλε πρῶτον ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ τὴν δοκόν, καὶ τότε διαβλέψεις ἐκβαλεῖν τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου. | |
| 6 | 'Do not give dogs what is holy; do not feed your pearls to pigs: they will only trample on them, and turn and tear you to pieces. | Μὴ δῶτε τὸ ἀγιον τοῖς κυσίν, μηδὲ βάλητε τοὺς μαργαρίτας ὑμῶν ἐμπροσθεν τῶν χοίρων, μήποτε καταπατήσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ στραφέντες ῥήξωσιν ὑμᾶς. | |
| 7 | 'Ask, and you will receive, seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened. | Ask, Seek, Knock Mt.7.7-12 (Galilee) | Lk.11.9-13 | Αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν· ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε· κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν. |
| 8 | For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. | πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιγήσεται. | |
| 9 | 'Is there a man among you who will offer his son a stone when he asks for bread, | ἢ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀρτον - μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; | |
| 10 | or a snake when he asks for fish? | ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει - μὴ ὀφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; | |
| 11 | If you, then, bad as you are, know how to give your children what is good for them, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him! | εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς πονηροὶ ὄντες οἰδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς δώσει ἀγαθὰ τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν. | |
| 12 | 'Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the prophets. | Πάντα οὖν ὁσα ἐὰν θέλητε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, οὑτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς· οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται. | |
| 13 | 'Enter by the narrow gate. The gate is wide that leads to perdition, there is plenty of room on the road, Some witnesses read: The road that leads to perdition is wide with plenty of room. and many go that way; | The Narrow Gate Mt.7.13-14 (Galilee) | Lk.13.24 | Εἰσέλθατε διὰ τῆς στενῆς πύλης· ὅτι πλατεῖα ἡ πύλη καὶ εὐρύχωρος ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα εἰς τὴν ἀπώλειαν, καὶ πολλοί εἰσιν οἱ εἰσερχόμενοι δῖ αὐτῆς· |
| 14 | but the gate that leads to life is small and the road is narrow, Some witnesses read: but the road that leads to life is small and narrow. and those who find it are few. | τί στενὴ ἡ πύλη καὶ τεθλιμμένη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα εἰς τὴν ζωήν, καὶ ὀλίγοι εἰσὶν οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτήν. | |
| 15 | 'Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage as wolves. | A Tree Known by Its Fruit Mt.7.15-20 (Galilee) | Lk.6.43-44 | Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν, οἱτινες ἐρχονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ἐνδύμασιν προβάτων, ἐσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἀρπαγες. |
| 16 | You will recognize them by the fruits they bear. Can grapes be picked from briars, or figs from thistles? | ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς· μήτι συλλέγουσιν ἀπὸ ἀκανθῶν σταφυλὰς ἢ ἀπὸ τριβόλων σῦκὰ; | |
| 17 | In the same way, a good tree always yields good fruit, and a poor tree bad fruit. | οὑτως πᾶν δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ σαπρὸν δένδρον καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖ· | |
| 18 | A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, or a poor tree good fruit. | οὐ δύναται δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖν, οὐδὲ δένδρον σαπρὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖν. | |
| 19 | And when a tree does not yield good fruit it is cut down and burnt. | πᾶν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. | |
| 20 | That is why I say you will recognize them by their fruits. | ἀρα γε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς. | |
| 21 | 'Not everyone who calls me "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my heavenly Father. | I Never Knew You Mt.7.21-23 (Galilee) | Lk.13.25-27 | Οὐ πᾶς ὁ λέγων μοι, Κύριε κύριε, εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἀλλ' ὁ ποιῶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. |
| 22 | When that day comes, many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out devils in your name, and in your name perform many miracles?" | πολλοὶ ἐροῦσίν μοι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, Κύριε κύριε, οὐ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι ἐπροφητεύσαμεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δαιμόνια ἐξεβάλομεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δυνάμεις πολλὰς ἐ ποιήσαμεν; | |
| 23 | Then I will tell them to their face, "I never knew you: out of my sight, you and your wicked ways!" | καὶ τότε ὁμολογήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι Οὐδέποτε ἐγνων ὑμᾶς· ἀποχωρεῖτε ἀπ' ἐμοῦ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν. | |
| 24 | 'What then of the man who hears these words of mine and acts upon them? He is like a man who had the sense to build his house on rock. | The Two Foundations Mt.7.24-29 (Galilee) | Lk.6.47-49 | Πᾶς οὖν ὁστις ἀκούει μου τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ ποιεῖ αὐτοὺς ὁμοιωθήσεται ἀνδρὶ φρονίμῳ, ὁστις ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτοῦ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν. |
| 25 | The rain came down, the floods rose, the wind blew, and beat upon that house; but it did not fall, because its foundations were on rock | καὶ κατέβη ἡ βροχὴ καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ποταμοὶ καὶ ἐπνευσαν οἱ ἀνεμοι καὶ προσέπεσαν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσεν, τεθεμελίωτο γὰρ ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν. | |
| 26 | But what of the man who hears these words of mine and does not act upon them? He is like a man who was foolish enough to build his house on sand. | καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀκούων μου τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ μὴ ποιῶν αὐτοὺς ὁμοιωθήσεται ἀνδρὶ μωρῷ, ὁστις ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτοῦ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀμμον. | |
| 27 | The rain came down, the floods rose, the wind blew, and beat upon that house; down it fell with a great crash.' | καὶ κατέβη ἡ βροχὴ καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ποταμοὶ καὶ ἐπνευσαν οἱ ἀνεμοι καὶ προσέκοψαν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἐπεσεν, καὶ ἦν ἡ πτῶσις αὐτῆς μεγάλη. | |
| 28 | When Jesus had finished this discourse the people were astounded at his teaching; | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐξεπλήσσοντο οἱ ὀχλοι ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· | |
| 29 | unlike their own teachers he taught with a note of authority. | ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἐχων καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν. | |
