not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where a moth and corrosion destroy, and where thieves dig through and steal. 6:20But lay up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither a moth nor corrosion destroys, and where thieves dig not through nor steal; 6:21for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
10 6:22The light of the body is the eye. If, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body will be light; 6:23but if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If, therefore, the light which is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 6:24No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the first, and love the other, or he will adhere to the first, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches. 6:25On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your soul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body more than clothing? 6:26Look at the birds of heaven; they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into store-houses; but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? 6:27Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? 6:28And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin; 6:29but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 6:30And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, men of little faith? 6:31Be not anxious, therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall we be clothed? 6:32For after all these things the gentiles seek; and your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 6:33But seek first righteousness and his kingdom, and all these things shall be added to you. 6:34Be not anxious, therefore, for to-morrow, for to-morrow will be anxious for its; sufficient for the day is its evil.
11 7:1Judge not, that you be not judged; 7:2for with what judgment you judge you shall be judged; and with what measure you measure it shall be measured to you. 7:3And why do you see a speck in your brother's eye, and not consider a beam in your own eye? 7:4or how will you say to your brother, Let me cast out the speck from your eye, and behold a beam in your own eye? 7:5Hypocrite, cast out first the beam from your eye, and then will you see clearly to cast out the speck from your brother's eye. 7:6Give not a holy thing to dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their feet, and turn and rend you. 7:7Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. 7:8For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened. 7:9Or is there any man of you, who, if his son asks bread of him, will give him a stone? 7:10or if he asks a fish, will give him a serpent? 7:11If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him. 7:12All things, therefore, which you wish men to do to you, do also thus to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
12 7:13Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate; and spacious the way which leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in by it; 7:14for narrow is the gate, and compressed the way which leads to life, and few are those who find it. 7:15But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but within they are rapacious wolves. 7:16You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns? or figs from thistles? 7:17So every good tree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruits; 7:18a good tree cannot bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree good fruits. 7:19Every tree which bears not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 7:20By their fruits, therefore, you shall know them.
13 7:21Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in heaven. 7:22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name performed many mighty works? 7:23and then will I confess to them, I never knew you; depart from me you that commit wickedness.
14 7:24Every one, therefore, that hears these words of mine and performs them, I will liken to a wise man who built his house on the rock; 7:25and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on the rock. 7:26And every one who hears these words of mine and performs them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand; 7:27and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, and it fell; and its fall was great. 7:28And when Jesus had finished these words the multitudes were astonished at his teaching; 7:29for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
CHAPTER VI.
CHRIST'S MIRACLES, PREVIOUS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF HIS TWELVE APOSTLES.
1 8:1AND when he went down from the mountain great multitudes followed him; 8:2and behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can cleanse me. 8:3And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed; and his leprosy was immediately cleansed. 8:4And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony to them.
2 8:5And when he entered into Capernaum a centurion came to him, beseeching him, 8:6and saying; Lord, my servant lies sick in my house with paralysis, exceedingly distressed. 8:7He said to him, I will come and cure him. 8:8And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that you should come under my roof; but only say the word and my servant will be cured. 8:9For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. 8:10Jesus hearing wondered and said to those that followed him, I tell you truly, I have not found so great a faith with any one in Israel; 8:11and I tell you that many shall come from the East and from the West, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 8:12but the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 8:13And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; as you have believed be it to you; and the servant was cured at that hour.
3 8:14And Jesus coming into the house of Peter, saw his wife's mother lying and sick with a fever. 8:15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and waited on them. 8:16And when it was evening they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all that were sick, 8:17that the word might be fulfilled spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.
4 8:18And Jesus seeing great multitudes around him commanded them to go away to the other side. 8:19And a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. 8:20And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have places of shelter, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head. 8:21Another of the disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father. 8:22But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead. 8:23And he entered into a ship, and his disciples followed him. 8:24And behold there was a great tempest on the lake, so that the ship was covered with the waves; but he was asleep. 8:25And they came and awoke him, saying, Lord, save
