And having seen the crowds He ascended into the mountain, and with His having sat His disciples approached Him; and having opened His mouth He taught them saying,
“The destitute in spirit are happy that the kingdom of the heavenly realms is theirs.
Those bewailing and mourning are happy that they will be encouraged.
The gentle are happy that they will inherit the land.
The people hungering and thirsting for rightness are happy that they will be well fed.
The merciful are happy that they will shown mercy.
The clean in heart are happy that they will see God.
The peacemakers are happy that they will be invited sons of God.
Those having been chased down because of rightness are happy that the kingdom of the heavenly realms is theirs.
You people are happy when they will reproach you and will chase you down and should say every single deranged thing about you because of Me. Rejoice and be overjoyed, because your pay is much in the heavenly realms; because so they chased down the prophets who were prior to you.
You people are the salt of the land; yet if the salt becomes useless, with what will it be salted? It is still physically capable for nothing if it isn’t thrown outside to be trampled under the human beings. You are the light of the universe. A city lying atop a mountain can’t be hidden; neither do they burn a lamp and put it under the measuring basket but on the lampstand, and it gleams to all those within the house. In this way let your light gleam in front of human beings, so that they would see your beautiful works and will glorify your Father who is in the heavenly realms.
Don’t assume that I came to tear down the Torah or the prophets completely; I didn’t come to tear it down completely but to make it full. Because amen I say to you, until the sky and the land would pass to the side, one iota or one horn would absolutely not pass to the side from the Torah at all, until everything would happen. Whoever then should untie one of the least of these commands and should teach in this way to human beings, he will be invited least in the kingdom of the heavenly realms; yet whoever would do and teach, this person will be invited big in the kingdom of the skies. Because I say to you that if your rightness doesn’t go beyond more than the rightness of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will absolutely not enter into the kingdom of the heavenly realms at all.
You heard that it had been said to the ancients, ‘You will not murder;’ and whoever murders, he will be guilty for judgment. Yet I say to you that every single person who is provoked by his brother will be guilty for judgment; and whoever should say to his brother, ‘Airhead,’ will be guilty to the Sanhedrin; yet whoever should say, ‘Moron,’ will be guilty as far as the Gey-Hinnom of fire. If then you should offer your gift upon the sacrificial altar and there you are reminded that your brother holds something against you, let your gift go there in front of the sacrificial altar and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and at that time having come offer your gift. Be making friends with your opponent fast, up to which you are on the road with him, or else the opponent will hand you over to the judge and the judge to the officer and he should throw you into the prison; amen I tell you, you won’t exit from there at all until soever you would repay the last quadrans.
You heard that it had been said, ‘Don’t commit adultery.’ Yet I say to you that every single person who looks at a woman in the direction of desiring her already committed adultery with her with his heart. Yet if your right eye trips you up, take it out and throw it from you; because it comes together for you so that one of your body parts would be destroyed and your whole body wouldn’t be thrown into the Gey-Hinnom. And if your right hand trips you up, cut it off and throw it away from you; because it comes together for you so that one of your body parts would be destroyed and your whole body should not depart into the Gey-Hinnom.
Yet it had been said, ‘Whoever divorces his woman, let him give her a written notice of divorce.’ Yet I say to you that every single person who divorces his woman besides a message of whoring makes her to commit adultery, and whoever having been divorced should marry commits adultery.
Again you heard that it had been said to the ancients, “Don’t take a false oath, and repay your oaths to the Lord.’ Yet I say to you to entirely not take an oath; neither with the sky, because it is God’s throne, nor with the land, because it is the footstool under His feet, nor as far as Hierosoluma, because it is the city of the great king, neither should you take an oath with your head, because you can’t make one hair white or black. Yet let your word be yes yes, no no; and beyond these is from the deranged.
You heard that it had been said, ‘An eye in place of an eye and a tooth in place of a tooth.’ Yet I say to you to not stand against the deranged; but anyone who hits you into your right cheek, turn to him also the other; and to the one wishing to take you to court and to take your shirt, release your coat also to him; and anyone who presses you into service for one mile, go with him for two. Give to the person asking you, and don’t turn away the person wishing to be lent money from you.
You heard that it had been said, ‘You will love the person next to you,’ and will hate your enemy. Yet I am saying to you, love your enemies and pray for those chasing you down, so that you would become sons of your Father who is in the heavenly realms, because His sun springs up upon the deranged and good and rains upon the right and the wrong. Because if you should love those loving you, what pay do you have? Don’t the tax collectors also do the self-same thing? And if you embrace just your brothers, what are you doing beyond anyone else? Don’t also the ethnic groups do the self-same things? You yourselves then be mature like your Heavenly Father is mature.
