UG 50. The election of 12 apostles (Mt 10:1—4; Mk 3:13—19; Lk 6:12—16)

50:1 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. (Mk 3:13; Lk 6:12)

50:2 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples whom he would, and they came unto him: (Mk 3:13; Lk 6:13)

50:3 and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles. (Mt 10:1; Mk 3:14; Lk 6:13)

50:4 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach. (Mk 3:14)

50:5 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast out devils, and power to heal sicknesses, to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Mt 10:1; Mk 3:15)

50:6 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; the first, Simon, (whom he also named Peter [Cephas],) (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:16; Lk 6:14)

50:7 And Andrew his brother; (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:14)

50:8 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder; (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:17; Lk 6:14)

50:9 Philip and Bartholomew; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:14)

50:10 Thomas and [Levi] Matthew the publican; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:11 James the son of Alphaeus, and (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:12 Judas (the [son] of James) Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:16)

50:13 Simon the Canaanite, called Zelotes, (Mt 10:4; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:14 And Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor, which betrayed him. (Mt 10:4; Mk 3:19; Lk 6:16)

UG 51. Sermon on a mountain (Mt 5:1—7:29; Lk 6:17—49)

51:1 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; (Lk 6:17)

51:2 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. (Lk 6:18)

51:3 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Lk 6:19)

51:4 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. (Mt 5:1)

51:5 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, (Mt 5:2; Lk 6:20)

51:6 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of God. (Mt 5:3; Lk 6:20)

51:7 Blessed are they that mourn [and] weep now: for they shall be comforted [and] laugh. (Mt 5:4; Lk 6:21)

51:8 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Mt 5:5)

51:9 Blessed are they which do hunger now and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Mt 5:6; Lk 6:21)

51:10 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Mt 5:7)

51:11 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mt 5:8)

51:12 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Mt 5:9)

51:13 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5:10)

51:14 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. (Mt 5:11; Lk 6:22)

51:15 Rejoice ye in that day, and be exceeding glad: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets which were before you. (Mt 5:12; Lk 6:23)

51:16 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. (Lk 6:24)

51:17 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. (Lk 6:25)

51:18 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Lk 6:26)

51:19 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. (Mt 5:13)

51:20 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Mt 5:14)

51:21 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. (Mt 5:15)

51:22 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mt 5:16)

51:23 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Mt 5:17)

51:24 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. (Mt 5:18)

51:25 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. (Mt 5:19)

51:26 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. (Mt 5:20)

51:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: (Mt 5:21)

51:28 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. (Mt 5:22)

51:29 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; (Mt 5:23)

51:30 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Mt 5:24)

51:31 Agree with thine 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. (Mt 5:25)

51:32 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. (Mt 5:26)

51:33 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: (Mt 5:27)

51:34 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Mt 5:28)

51:35 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. (Mt 5:29)

51:36 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 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. (Mt 5:30)

51:37 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: (Mt 5:31)

51:38 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. (Mt 5:32)

51:39 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: (Mt 5:33)

51:40 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: (Mt 5:34)

51:41 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (Mt 5:35)

51:42 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. (Mt 5:36)

51:43 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. (Mt 5:37)

51:44 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (Mt 5:38)

51:45 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn [and] offer to him the other also. (Mt 5:39; Lk 6:29)

51:46 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. (Mt 5:40; Lk 6:29)

51:47 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. (Mt 5:41)

51:48 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. (Mt 5:42; Lk 6:30)

51:49 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (Lk 6:31)

51:50 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. (Mt 5:43)

51:51 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you; (Mt 5:44; Lk 6:27)

51:52 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Mt 5:44; Lk 6:28)

51:53 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. (Mt 5:45)

51:54 For if ye love them which love you, what thank [or] reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? for sinners also love those that love them. (Mt 5:46; Lk 6:32)

51:55 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. (Lk 6:33)

51:56 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. (Lk 6:34)

51:57 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. (Lk 6:35)

51:58 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Lk 6:36)

51:59 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? (Mt 5:47)

51:60 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Mt 5:48)

51:61 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. (Mt 6:1)

51:62 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. (Mt 6:2)

51:63 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: (Mt 6:3)

51:64 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. (Mt 6:4)

51:65 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray 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. (Mt 6:5)

51:66 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. (Mt 6:6)

51:67 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (Mt 6:7)

51:68 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (Mt 6:8)

51:69 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (Mt 6:9)

51:70 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Mt 6:10)

51:71 Give us this day our daily bread. (Mt 6:11)

51:72 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Mt 6:12)

51:73 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Mt 6:13)

51:74 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: (Mt 6:14)

51:75 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Mt 6:15)

51:76 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. (Mt 6:16)

51:77 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; (Mt 6:17)

51:78 That thou 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. (Mt 6:18)

51:79 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: (Mt 6:19)

51:80 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (Mt 6:20)

51:81 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Mt 6:21)

51:82 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (Mt 6:22)

51:83 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! (Mt 6:23)

51:84 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mt 6:24)

51:85 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Mt 6:25)

51:86 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? (Mt 6:26)

51:87 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? (Mt 6:27)

51:88 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (Mt 6:28)

51:89 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Mt 6:29)

51:90 Wherefore, 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? (Mt 6:30)

51:91 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (Mt 6:31)

51:92 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. (Mt 6:32)

51:93 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Mt 6:33)

51:94 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. (Mt 6:34)

51:95 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: (Mt 7:1; Lk 6:37)

51:96 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. (Mt 7:2)

51:97 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Mt 7:2; Lk 6:38)

51:98 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? (Lk 6:39)

51:99 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. (Lk 6:40)

51:100 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (Mt 7:3; Lk 6:41)

51:101 Or either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (Mt 7:4; Lk 6:42)

51:102 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. (Mt 7:5; Lk 6:42)

51:103 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. (Matthew 7:6). (Mt 7:6)

51:104 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Mt 7:7)

51:105 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Mt 7:8)

51:106 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? (Mt 7:9)

51:107 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? (Mt 7:10)

51:108 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? (Mt 7:11)

51:109 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (Mt 7:12)

51:110 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: (Mt 7:13)

51:111 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Mt 7:14)

51:112 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mt 7:15)

51:113 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (Mt 7:16)

51:114 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. (Mt 7:17)

51:115 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Mt 7:18; Lk 6:43)

51:116 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. (Lk 6:44)

51:117 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (Mt 7:19)

51:118 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Mt 7:20)

51:119 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. (Lk 6:45)

51:120 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Lk 6:46)

51:121 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. (Mt 7:21)

51:122 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 works? (Mt 7:22)

51:123 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Mt 7:23)

51:124 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: (Mt 7:24; Lk 6:47)

51:125 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: (Mt 7:24; Lk 6:48)

51:126 And when the rain descended, and the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it; and when the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Mt 7:25; Lk 6:48)

51:127 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand without a foundation: (Mt 7:26; Lk 6:49)

51:128 And the rain descended, and the floods came, which the stream did beat vehemently, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and immediately it fell: and the ruin of that house was great. (Mt 7:27; Lk 6:49)

51:129 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: (Mt 7:28)

51:130 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Mt 7:29)

UG 52. Healing the centurion’s servant in Capernaum (Mt 8:1, 5—13; Lk 7:1—10)

52:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, (Lk 7:1)

52:2 He was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. (Mt 8:1)

52:3 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. (Lk 7:2)

52:4 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant, (Mt 8:5; Lk 7:3)

52:5 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. (Mt 8:6)

52:6 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, (Mt 8:5; Lk 7:1)

52:7 They came to Jesus, [and] besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: (Mt 8:5; Lk 7:4)

52:8 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. (Lk 7:5)

52:9 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. (Mt 8:7)

52:10 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: (Mt 8:8; Lk 7:6)

52:11 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. (Mt 8:8; Lk 7:7)

52:12 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. (Mt 8:9; Lk 7:8)

52:13 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (Mt 8:10; Lk 7:9)

52:14 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 8:11)

52:15 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mt 8:12)

52:16 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. (Mt 8:13)

52:17 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. (Lk 7:10)
