Preach in the Mountains 山上寶訓
Matthew
Great multitudes of people followed Jesus from various places. Seeing this, Jesus went up into a mountain. When he was set, his disciples came up to him. He taught them:
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they
shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth. Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for
they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men shall revile
you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in
heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. .
You have heard that an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you that resist not evil, whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. You have heard that you shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say to you that love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who persecute you. By that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Take heed that do not let your alms seen, otherwise you have no reward of your Father in heaven. Therefore when you pray, do not sound a trumpet before them as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. When you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink. Nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? Why you take thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin. But I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Therefore take no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
馬太福音
許多人聽到耶穌的事蹟，遠從各地聚集在他身邊。耶穌見來的人很多，便登上一座小山，門徒環繞在他身邊，民眾則環山而坐，靜聽他講道。耶穌高聲說：
「虛心的人有福了，因為天國是他們的。哀慟的人有福了，因為他們必得安慰。溫柔的人有福了，因為他們必承受土地。飢渴慕義的人有福了，因為他們必得飽足。憐恤人的人有福了，因為他們必蒙憐恤。清心的人有福了，因為他們必得見神。使人和睦的人有福了，因為他們必稱為神的兒子。為義受逼迫的人有福了，因為天國是他們的。人若因我辱罵你們、逼迫你們、捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了。應當歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。在你們以前的先知，人們也是這樣逼迫他們。
你們聽見有句話說『以眼還眼、以牙還牙。』只是我要告訴你們，不要與惡人作對，有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打。你們聽見有句話說『當愛你的鄰居，恨你的仇敵。』只是我要告訴你們，要愛你們的仇敵，為那逼迫你們的禱告。這樣就可以作你們天父的兒子。因為他叫太陽照好人，也照壞人；降雨給義人，也給不義的人。
你們要小心不可將善事行在人的面前故意叫他們看見。你們禱告的時候，不可像那假冒為善的人，愛站在會堂裡和十字路口上禱告故意叫人看見。你右手做的善事不要讓左手知道。
不要為自己積攢財寶在地上，地上有蟲子咬，會鏽壞；有賊挖窟窿來偷。只要積攢財寶在天上，天上沒有蟲子咬，不會鏽壞，也沒有賊來偷。
所以告訴你們不要為生命憂慮，吃什麼、喝什麼、為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食？身體不勝於衣裳嗎？你們看那天上的飛鳥，也不種，也不收，也不積蓄在倉庫。你們的天父尚且養活他。何必為衣裳憂慮呢？你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來，它也不勞做，也不紡線。然而我告訴你們，就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的，還不如這朵花呢！
所以不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的煩惱；一天的難處，一天當就夠了。」
