And when Yeshua, saw the crowds, he ascended a Hill, and when he was seated, his Disciples drew near him, and he opened his Mouth, and taught them. And he said, Happy, are the Poor in pride, for theirs is the Kingdom, of Heaven. Happy are the Mourners, for they will be comforted. Happy are the Meek, for they will Inherit, the Earth. Happy are they that Hunger, and Thirst, for Righteousness, for they will be well satisfied. Happy are the Merciful, for on them, will be Mercies. Happy are those, who are Pure, in their Minds, for they will see Elohim. Happy are the Cultivators, of Peace, for they will be called, Sons, of Elohim. Happy are they, that are persecuted, on account, of Righteousness, for the Kingdom, of Heaven, is theirs. Happy are you, when they reproach you, and persecute you, and speak every Evil thing, against you Falsely, on my account, at that Time, rejoice, and be glad, for your Reward, is increased, in Heaven. For in this very manner, they persecuted the Prophets, who were before you. You are indeed, the Salt, of the Earth, but if the Salt, should lose its savor, with what could it be Seasoned, it would not be worth anything, but to be thrown Outside, and to be trodden down, by Men. You are indeed, the Light, of the World, a City that is built, upon a Hill, cannot be concealed, and they do not Light, a Lamp, and place it, under a Bushel, but upon a Lightstand, and it gives Light, to all that are in the House. Let your Light shine, before Men, that they may see your good works, and may Glorify, your Father, who is in Heaven. Do not suppose, that I have come to weaken, the Law, or the Prophets, I have not come to weaken, but to fulfill. For Truly, I tell you, that until Heaven, and Earth, shall pass away, not even One Iota, or a Dash, shall pass away, from the Law, until all of it, is fulfilled. Whoever therefore, tries to weaken, even One, of these, smallest Commandments, and teacher Men so, he shall be regarded, as small, in the Kingdom, of Heaven, but anyone who observes, and teaches them, he shall be regarded, as great, in the Kingdom, of Heaven. For I say to you, that unless your Righteousness, Exceeds that, of the Scribes, and Pharisees, you shall not enter, into the Kingdom, of Heaven.

You have heard, that it was said, to the Ancients, you shall not Kill, and whoever Kills, is guilty before the Court, but I say to you, that everyone who is angry, with his Brother rashly, is guilty before the Court, and everyone that says, to his Brother, I spit on you, is guilty before the Congregation, and whoever says, to his Brother, you are a Fool, is Condemned to Hell Fire. If it should happen therefore, that while you are presenting your Offering, upon the Altar, and right there, you remember that your Brother, has any grievance, against you, leave your Offering there, upon the Altar, and First go, and make Peace, with your Brother, and then come back, and present your Offering, try to get reconciled, with your accuse promptly, while you are going on the Road, with him. For your accuser, might surrender you to the Judge, and the Judge, would commit you, to the Jailer, and you fall into the House, of Prisoners. Truly I say to you, that you would never come out, thence until you had paid, the last Farthing. You have heard, that it is said, you shall not commit Adultery, but I say to you, that whoever gazed, on a Woman, with the desire, to Covet her, at once commits Adultery, with her in his Mind. If your right Eye, should cause you to stumble, pluck it out, and throw it away, from you, for it is better, for you to lose One, of your Members, and not your Body, fall into Hell. And if your Right Hand, should cause you stumble, cut it off, and throw it away, from you, for it is better, for you to lose One, of your Members, and not all your Body, fall into Hell. It has been said, that if a Man, will put away his Wife, he must give her a writing, of Divorcement, but I say to you, that whoever puts away his Wife, except for Fornication, causes her to commit Adultery, and whoever Marries, a Woman, who is separated, but not Divorced, commits Adultery.

Again you have heard, that it has been said, to the Ancients, that you shall not False, in your Oaths, but you will perform your Oaths, to Yahweh, but I say to you, Swear not at all, not by Heaven, for it is the Throne, of Elohim, and not by the Earth, for it is the Footstool, under his Feet, and likewise not, by Jerusalem, for it is the City, of the great King. Moreover, you will not Swear, by your Head, because you cannot Create, in it, a single Black, or White Hair, but let your Words, be Yes, Yes, and No, No, for anything which adds to these, is a deception. You have heard, that it has been said, an Eye, for an Eye, and a Tooth, for a Tooth, but I say to you, resist no Evil, but whoever strikes you, on your right Cheek, turn to him also, the other. And if One, is disposed to Sue you, and get away your Coat, relinquish also to him your Cloak. Whoever compels you, to carry a burden, for a mile, go with him Two. Whoever demands, of you, give to him, and whoever wishes to borrow, of you, deny him not. You have heard, that it has been said, you will Love your Neighbor, and hate your Enemy, but I say to you, Love your Enemies, and Bless him, that Curses you, and do good, to him that hates you, and Pray them, who carry you away, by force, and that persecute you, so that you, may be the Children, of your Father, that is in Heaven. Who causes his Sun, to shine upon the good, and upon the bad, and sends his Rain, upon the Righteous, and upon the Unrighteous. For if you Love only those, who Love you, what Reward, will you have, do not even the Tax Collectors, do this, and if you Salute only, your Brothers, what are you doing more, than others, do not even the Tax Collectors, do this. Be you therefore, Perfect, even as your Father, who is in Heaven, is Perfect. Be cautious in your Alms, giving, not to perform it, before Men, so that you, may be seen of them, otherwise you have no Reward, from your Father, who is in Heaven. Therefor when you give Alms, do not blow a Trumpet, before you, just as the Hypocrites do, in the Synagogue, and in the Streets, that they may get Praise, from Men. Truly, I say to you, they have gotten, their Reward, but you, when doing Alms, let not your left Hand, know what your right Hand, does so, that your Alms, may be done Secretly, and your Father, who sees in Secret, will Reward you, openly.

And when you Pray, do not be like the Hypocrites, who like to Pray, standing in the Synagogues, and at the Street Corners, so that they may be seen, by Men. Truly, I say to you, that they have gotten their Reward, but you when you Pray, enter into your Inner Chamber, and lock your Door, and Pray, to your Father, who is in Secret, and your Father, who sees in Secret, he himself will Reward you openly, and when you Pray, do not repeat your Words, like the Heathen, for they expect to be heard, for their abundance, of Words. Therefore, be not like them, for your Father knows, what you need, before you ask him. In this manner therefore, Pray you, our Father, in Heaven, Hallowed, be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, as in Heaven, so on Earth, give us Bread, for our needs, from Day, to Day, and Forgive us, our Offences, as we have Forgiven, our Offenders, and do not let us enter, into Temptation, but Deliver us, from Error, because yours, is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever, and Ever, believe. For if you Forgive Men, their faults, your Father, who is in Heaven, also will Forgive you, but if you do not Forgive Men, their faults, neither will your Father, Forgive even your faults. When you Fast, do not look sad, like the Hypocrites, for they disfigure their Faces, so that they may appear to Men, that they are Fasting. Truly, I say to you, that they have gotten their Reward, but you, when you Fast, wash your Face, and anoint your Head, so that it, may not appear to Men, that you are Fasting, but to your Father, who is in Secret, and your Father, who sees in Secret, he will Reward you. Do not lay up, for yourselves Treasures, buried in the Ground, a place where Rust, and Moth, destroy, and where Thieves break through, and steal, but lay up for yourself, a Treasure in Heaven, where neither Rust, nor Moth, destroy, and where Thieves, do not break through, and steal. For where your Treasure is, there will also, your Mind, be.

The Eye, is the Lamp, of the Body, if therefore, your Eye be clear, your whole Body, also is Lighted, but if your Eye, be Diseased, your whole Body, will be Dark, if therefore, the Light that is in you, be Darkness, how great, will be your Darkness. No Man, can serve Two Masters, for either he will hate, the One, and Love, the other, or he will Honor, the One, and neglect the other, you cannot serve Elohim, and Wealth. Therefore, I say to you, be not anxious, about your Life, what you will eat, and what you will drink. Nor for your Body, what you will wear, is not the Life, more important, than food, and the Body, than Raiment. Watch the Birds, of the Sky, which Sow not, and Reap not, and gather not, into Storehouses, but your Father, who is in Heaven, feeds them, are not, your more important, than they, and who of you, that shall be anxious, can add One Cubit, to his stature, and about Raiment, why are you anxious, consider the wild Flowers, of the Desert, in what manner, they grow, they toil not, and they spin not. Yet, I say to you, that not even Solomon, in all his Glory, was arrayed like One, of them. Now if Elohim, clothes in such fashion, the Grass, of the Field, which Today is, and Tomorrow falls into the Fireplace, will he not much more, clothe you, you small in believing. Therefore, be not anxious, nor say, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith be clothed, for all these things, the People, of the World, seek after, and your Father, who is in Heaven, knows that all these things, are needful to you. But you seek First, the Kingdom, of Elohim, and his Righteousness, and all of these things, shall be added to you. Therefore, be not anxious, for Tomorrow, for Tomorrow, has its own anxieties, sufficient for the Day, is its own trouble. Judge not, that you be not Judged, for with the same Judgment, that you Judge, you will be Judged, and with the same Measure, with which you Measure, it will be Measured, to you.

And why observes the Splinter, which is in your Brother's Eye, and do not feel the Beam, which is in your Eye, or how can your say to your Brother, let me take out the Splinter, from your Eye, and there is a Cross Beam, in your own Eye, you Hypocrites, First take out the Beam, from your own Eye, and then you will see clearly, to get out the Splinter, from your Brother's Eye. Give not a Holy thing, to Dogs, and cast not your Pearls, before Swine, lest they tread them, under their Feet, and turn, and lacerate you. Ask, and it shall be given, to you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened, to you, for whoever asks, receives, and he who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks, the Door, is opened. For what Man, is there among you, of whom, if his Son, ask Bread, will he reach him, a Stone, or if he ask of him, a Fish, will he reach him, a Snake, if you then, who are Evil, know how to give good things, to your Children, how much more, will your Father, who is in Heaven, give good things, to them, that ask him. Whatever you wish Men, to do for you, also do likewise for them, for this is the Law, and the Prophets. Enter in, through the narrow Gate, for wide is the Gate, and broad is the Road, which carries to destruction, and many are those, who travel on it, how small, the Gate, and how difficult, is the Road, which carries to Life, and few are those, who are found on it. Be careful, of False Prophets, who come to you, in Lamb's clothing, but internally, they are rapacious Wolves, you will know them, by their Fruits, do Men gather Grapes, from Thorn Bushes, or Figs, from Thistles, so every good Tree, bears good Fruits, but a bad Tree, bears bad Fruit,.but a bad Tree, bears bad Fruits, but a bad Tree, bears bad Fruits, a good Tree, cannot bear bad Fruits, neither can a bad Tree, bear good Fruits, every Tree, that bears not good Fruits, is cut down, and cast into the Fire, wherefore by their Fruits, you will know them. Not whoever, may say to me, my Lord, my Lord, will enter into the Kingdom, of Heaven, but he that does the will, of my Father, who is in Heaven, a great many, will say to me, in that Day, my Lord, my Lord, have we not Prophesied, in your Name, and in your Name, cast out Devils, and in your Name, wrought many works, of Power, and then, will I declare to them, I have never known you, keep away from me, you that work Iniquity. And everyone that hears these, my discourses, and does them, will be like to a Wise Man, One that built his House, upon a Rock, and the Rain descended, and the Rivers overflowed, and the Winds blew, and they beat upon that House, but it did not fall down, because its Foundations, were lain upon a Rock. And everyone that hears these, my discourses, and does them not, will be like a Foolish Man, that built his House, upon Sand, and the Rain descended, and the Rivers overflowed, and the Winds blew, and they beat upon that House, and it fell down, and great was the ruin, of it. And so it was, that when Yeshua, had ended these discourses, the crowds were stunned, at his teaching, for he taught them, as one who had the Power, and not like their own Scribes, and Pharisees.

When he came down, from the Hill, Large crowds followed him, and a Leper came, and worshipped him, and said my Lord, if you wish, you can cleanse me, and Yeshua stretched out, his Hand, and touched him, and he said, I do wish, be cleansed, and in that Hour, his Leprosy was cleansed. Yeshua, then said to him, look here, why are you telling it, to Men, go First, and show yourself, to the Priests, and offer, an Offering, as Moses has Commanded, for a Testimonial, to them. When Yeshua, entered Capernaum, a Centurion approached him, and appealed to him, and said, my Lord, my Boy, is lying at Home, Paralyzed, and suffering greatly. Yeshua said to him, I will come, and Heal him. The Centurion replied, and said, my Lord, I am not worthy, that you should enter, under the Shadow, of my Roof, but just say a Word, and my Boy, will be Healed, for also I am a Man, under Authority, and there are Soldiers, under my Hands, and I say to this One, go, and he goes, and to another, come, and he comes, and to my Servant, do this thing, and he does it. And when Yeshua heard this, he admired it, and he said to those, walking with him, Truly, I say to you, that not even in Israel, have I found, such believing, as this. And I say to you, that a great many will come, from the East, and from the West, and sit down, with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom, of Heaven, but the Children, of the Kingdom, will be put out, in the outer Darkness, there shall be weeping, and gnashing, of Teeth. So Yeshua, said to the Centurion, go, be it to you, as you have believed, and his Boy, was Healed, in that very Hour.

Straightway, he taught on the Sabbaths, in their Synagogues, and they were amazed, at his teaching, because his Word, had Power, for he taught them, as One, with Authority, and not like their Scribes. And there was in their Synagogue, a Man, who had in him, a Devil Spirit, and he cried out, in a loud voice, and said, Yeshua, of Nazareth, let me alone, what have we in common, Yeshua the Nazarean, have you come, to destroy us, I know you, who you are, the Holy One, of Elohim. And Yeshua rebuked him, and said, shut your Mouth, and come out, of him. And the Devil Spirit, threw him down, in the midst, and cried out, in a loud voice, and went out of him, having not harmed him, at all. And wonder seized everyone, and kept asking one another saying, what does this mean, and what is this new teaching, that with such a Power, he Commands even Devil Spirits, and they obey him, what a Word is this, for with Authority, and efficiency, he Commands the Devil Spirits, and they go out, and immediately his fame spread, into all the surrounding Region, of Galilee. Then they went out, of the Synagogue, and came to the House, of Simon, and Andrew, together with James, and John, and Simon's Mother in Law, was suffering with a severe Fever. And they told him, about her. And he saw, Simon's Wife's mother, laid up, and sick with Fever. And they besought him, in her behalf. And he came, and he stood over her, and he touched her Hand, and raised her up, and rebuked the Fever, and it immediately left her. And she immediately got up, and waited on them.
