Matthew 5

1

Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

2

and he began to teach them, saying:

3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

12

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 7

21

"Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

24

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

25

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

26

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

28

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

29

because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Matthew 19

4

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female,'^[1]

5

and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'^[2] ?

6

So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

13

Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

15

When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Matthew 22

35

One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:

36

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

37

Jesus replied: "`Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'^[1]

38

This is the first and greatest commandment.

39

And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.'^[2]

40

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
