St. Matthew 4:13-25 [top]

A-I

13 And leaving the city Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
14 That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:

A-II

15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.

A-III

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

A-IV

18 And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).

A-V

19 And He saith to them: Come ye after Me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.

A-VI

20 And they immediately leaving their nets, followed Him.

A-VII

21 And going on from thence, He saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and He called them.
22 And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed Him.

A-VIII

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.

A-IX

24 And His fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to Him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and He cured them:

A-X

25 And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Beatitudes from St. Matthew [top]

B-I

And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain, and when He was set down, His disciples came unto Him.
And opening His mouth, He taught them, saying:

B-II

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

B-III

Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

B-IV

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

B-V

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

B-VI

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

B-VII

Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

B-VIII

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

B-IX

10 Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

B-X

11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for My sake:
12 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

St. Luke

C-I

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee, and the fame of Him went out through the whole country.
15 And He taught in their synagogues, and was magnified by all.

C-II

16 And He came to Nazareth, where He was brought up: and He went into the synagogue, according to His custom, on the sabbath day; and He rose up to read.

C-III

17 And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto Him. And as He unfolded the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,

C-IV

19 To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.

C-V

20 And when he had folded the book, He restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
21 And He began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.

C-VI

22 And all gave testimony to Him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from His mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?

C-VII

23 And He said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in Thy own country.
24 And He said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.

C-VIII

25 In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.
26 And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.

C-IX

27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

C-X

28 And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29 And they rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they brought Him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong.
30 But He passing through the midst of them, went His way.

St. Luke, Chapter VI

D-I

17 And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon,

D-II

18 Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured.

D-III

19 And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.

D-IV

20 And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

D-V

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.

D-VI

22 Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

D-VII

23 Be glad in that day and rejoice; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.

D-VIII

24 But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation.

D-IX

25 Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep.

D-X

26 Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.

St. Luke 6 (Sermon on the Plain continued)

E-I

27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you.

E-II

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you.

E-III

29 And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.

E-IV

30 Give to every one that asketh thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.

E-V

31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner.

E-VI

32 And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them.

E-VII

33 And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also do this.

E-VIII

34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? for sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much.

E-IX

35 But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for He is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil.

E-X

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

St. Luke 6 (Sermon on the Plain concluded)

F-I

37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.

F-II

38 Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.

F-III

39 And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch?

F-IV

40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master.

F-V

41 And why seest thou the mote in thy brother’s eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?

F-VI

42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother’s eye.

F-VII

43 For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.

F-VIII

45 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 bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

F-IX

46 And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?
47 Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.
48 He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and it could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

F-X

49 But he that heareth, and doth not, is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

St. John 15

H-I

15 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

H-II

Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, He will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, He will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

H-III

Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

H-IV

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

H-V

I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing.

H-VI

If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.

H-VII

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

H-VIII

In this is My Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become My disciples.

H-IX

As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love.

H-X

10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father’s commandments, and do abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.

John 10

J-I

10 Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.

J-II

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

J-III

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

J-IV

And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

J-V

But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.

J-VI

This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.

J-VII

Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

J-VIII

All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.

J-IX

I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.

J-X

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.

K-I

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

K-II

12 But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:

K-III

13 And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.

K-IV

14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.

K-V

15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

K-VI

16 And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

K-VII

17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

K-VIII

18 No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

K-IX

19 A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.
20 And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him?

K-X

21 Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil: Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
