Matthew 5

Authored by: American Standard Version
5:1
Ιδων δε τους οχλους ανεβη εις το ορος και καθισαντος αυτου προσηλθαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:
5:2
και ανοιξας το στομα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτους λεγων
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
5:3
Μακαριοι οι πτωχοι τω πνευματι Οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
1
5:4
Μακαριοι οι πενθουντες Οτι αυτοι παρακληθησονται
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5
Μακαριοι οι πραεις Οτι αυτοι κληρονομησουσιν την γην
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6
Μακαριοι οι πεινωντες και διψωντες την δικαιοσυνην Οτι αυτοι χορτασθησονται
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
5:7
Μακαριοι οι ελεημονες Οτι αυτοι ελεηθησονται
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
5:8
Μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια Οτι αυτοι τον Θεον οψονται
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
5:9
Μακαριοι οι ειρηνοποιοι Οτι αυτοι υιοι Θεου κληθησονται
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
5:10
Μακαριοι οι δεδιωγμενοι ενεκεν δικαιοσυνης Οτι αυτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11
Μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμας και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου
Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12
χαιρετε και αγαλλιασθε οτι ο μισθος υμων πολυς εν τοις ουρανοις ουτως γαρ εδιωξαν τους προφητας τους προ υμων
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
5:13
Υμεις εστε το αλας της γης εαν δε το αλας μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εις ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθεν εξω καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
5:14
Υμεις εστε το φως του κοσμου ου δυναται πολις κρυβηναι επανω ορους κειμενη
Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
5:15
ουδε καιουσιν λυχνον και τιθεασιν αυτον υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν και λαμπει πασιν τοις εν τη οικια
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
5:16
ουτως λαμψατω το φως υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπως ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοις ουρανοις
Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
5:17
Μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τους προφητας ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18
αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν εως αν παρελθη ο ουρανος και η γη ιωτα εν η μια κεραια ου μη παρελθη απο του νομου εως αν παντα γενηται
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
5:19
Ος εαν ουν λυση μιαν των εντολων τουτων των ελαχιστων και διδαξη ουτως τους ανθρωπους ελαχιστος κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ος δ αν ποιηση και διδαξη ουτος μεγας κληθησεται εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
5:20
λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι εαν μη περισσευση υμων η δικαιοσυνη πλειον των γραμματεων και Φαρισαιων ου μη εισελθητε εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
5:21
Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοις αρχαιοις Ου φονευσεις ος δ αν φονευση ενοχος εσται τη κρισει
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
5:22
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο οργιζομενος τω αδελφω αυτου ενοχος εσται τη κρισει ος δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου Ρακα ενοχος εσται τω συνεδριω ος δ αν ειπη Μωρε ενοχος εσται εις την γεενναν του πυρος
but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.
5:23
Εαν ουν προσφερης το δωρον σου επι το θυσιαστηριον κακει μνησθης οτι ο αδελφος σου εχει τι κατα σου
If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,
5:24
αφες εκει το δωρον σου εμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηριου και υπαγε πρωτον διαλλαγηθι τω αδελφω σου και τοτε ελθων προσφερε το δωρον σου
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
5:25
ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εως οτου ει μετ αυτου εν τη οδω μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικος τω κριτη και ο κριτης τω υπηρετη και εις φυλακην βληθηση
Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
5:26
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως αν αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
5:27
Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη Ου μοιχευσεις
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
5:28
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο βλεπων γυναικα προς το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου
but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
5:29
ει δε ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν
And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.
5:30
και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου εις γεενναν απελθη
And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell.
5:31
Ερρεθη δε Ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον
It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
5:32
εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτος λογου πορνειας ποιει αυτην μοιχευθηναι και ος εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται
but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.
5:33
Παλιν ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη τοις αρχαιοις Ουκ επιορκησεις αποδωσεις δε τω Κυριω τους ορκους σου
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
5:34
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη ομοσαι ολως μητε εν τω ουρανω οτι θρονος εστιν του Θεου
but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
5:35
μητε εν τη γη οτι υποποδιον εστιν των ποδων αυτου μητε εις Ιεροσολυμα οτι πολις εστιν του μεγαλου Βασιλεως
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
5:36
μητε εν τη κεφαλη σου ομοσης οτι ου δυνασαι μιαν τριχα λευκην ποιησαι η μελαιναν
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
5:37
εστω δε ο λογος υμων Ναι ναι ου Ου το δε περισσον τουτων εκ του πονηρου εστιν
But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one.
5:38
Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη Οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου και οδοντα αντι οδοντος
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
5:39
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστις σε ραπιζει εις την δεξιαν σιαγονα σου στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην
but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
5:40
και τω θελοντι σοι κριθηναι και τον χιτωνα σου λαβειν αφες αυτω και το ιματιον
And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
5:41
και οστις σε αγγαρευσει μιλιον εν υπαγε μετ αυτου δυο
And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
5:42
τω αιτουντι σε δος και τον θελοντα απο σου δανισασθαι μη αποστραφης
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
5:43
Ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη Αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου και μισησεις τον εχθρον σου
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
5:44
εγω δε λεγω υμιν αγαπατε τους εχθρους υμων και προσευχεσθε υπερ των διωκοντων υμας
but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
5:45
οπως γενησθε υιοι του Πατρος υμων του εν ουρανοις οτι τον ηλιον αυτου ανατελλει επι πονηρους και αγαθους και βρεχει επι δικαιους και αδικους
that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
5:46
εαν γαρ αγαπησητε τους αγαπωντας υμας τινα μισθον εχετε ουχι και οι τελωναι το αυτο ποιουσιν
For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
5:47
και εαν ασπασησθε τους αδελφους υμων μονον τι περισσον ποιειτε ουχι και οι εθνικοι το αυτο ποιουσιν
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
5:48
Εσεσθε ουν υμεις τελειοι ως ο Πατηρ υμων ο ουρανιος τελειος εστιν
Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Blessing the unlikely first

The Beatitudes open the Sermon on the Mount by blessing exactly the kind of people who don't usually get called blessed, the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the persecuted. Why does Jesus start his most famous teaching with this list instead of a se...
