Bible Lesson: Conversations With
Jesus: Sermon On The Mount.
Bible Text:
Matthew 5,6,7 KJV
Luke 6:20-49 KJV
Bible Topic:
Matthew 5:1-48 KJV
1 And seeing
the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His
disciples came unto Him:
2 And He opened
His mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are
the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are
they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are
the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are
they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
7 Blessed are
the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are
the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are
the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are
they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are
ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.
12 Rejoice, and
be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the
salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be
cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the
Light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do
men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your
Light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not
that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I
say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say
unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have
heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say
unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause
shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall
say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if
thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy
brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there
thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with
thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at
any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say
unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast
paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have
heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
28 But I say
unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy
right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy
right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been
said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing
of divorcement:
32 But I say
unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye
have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto The Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say
unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
35 Nor by the
earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the
city of The Great King.
36 Neither
shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
37 But let your
communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than
these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have
heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth:
39 But I say
unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on
thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any
man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have
thy cloak also.
41 And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him
that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not
thou away.
43 Ye have
heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate
thine enemy.
44 But I say
unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
45 That ye may
be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His
sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust.
46 For if ye
love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the
publicans the same?
47 And if ye
salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even
the publicans so?
48 Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 6:1-34
KJV
1 Take heed
that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye
have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore
when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as
the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may
have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou
doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine
alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret Himself
shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou
prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to
pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
6 But thou,
when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy
door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye
pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye
therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have
need of, before ye ask Him.
9 After this
manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name.
10 Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this
day our daily bread.
12 And forgive
us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you:
15 But if ye
forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
16 Moreover
when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for
they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou,
when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou
appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret:
and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up
for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of
the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single (good),
thy whole body shall be full of Light.
23 But if thine
eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can
serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon (money).
25 Therefore I
say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the
fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather
into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?
27 Which of you
by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take
ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I
say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these.
30 Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to
morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye
of little faith?
31 Therefore
take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
34 Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.
Matthew 7:1-29
KJV
1 Judge not,
that ye be not judged.
2 For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt
thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;
and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that
which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and
rend you.
7 Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you:
8 For every one
that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man
is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask
a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then,
being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them
that ask Him?
12 Therefore
all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in
at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of
false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
17 Even so
every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
19 Every tree
that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire.
20 Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every
one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will
say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
23 And then
will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that
work iniquity.
24 Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken
him unto a wise man, which built his house upon A Rock:
25 And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon A Rock.
26 And every
one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came
to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at His doctrine:
29 For He
taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Luke 6:20-49 KJV
20 And He
lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor:
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are
ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep
now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are
ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from
their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as
evil, for The Son Of Man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye
in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in
heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto
you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you
that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for
ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto
you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers
to the false prophets.
27 But I say
unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate
you,
28 Bless them
that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him
that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to
every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods
ask them not again.
31 And as ye
would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye
love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love
those that love them.
33 And if ye do
good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners
also do even the same.
34 And if ye
lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for
sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye
your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and
your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of The
Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye
therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not,
and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it
shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you
again.
39 And He spake
a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not
both fall into the ditch?
40 The disciple
is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as
his master.
41 And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how
canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that
is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in
thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine
own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is
in thy brother's eye.
43 For a good
tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
44 For every
tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs,
nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
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 of his heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth
speaketh.
46 And why call
ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever
cometh to Me, and heareth My sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you
to whom he is like:
48 He is like a
man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on
A Rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon
that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon A Rock.
49 But he that
heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built
an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was
great.

30 And many
other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which
are not written in this book:
31 But these
are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is The Christ, The Son
Of God; and that believing ye might have Life through His name.
Acts 2:21,38 KJV
21 “And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.”
38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive The Gift Of The Holy
Ghost.
