CHAP. V.
Christ beginneth his Sermon in the Mount: 3 declaring who are blessed, 13 who are the salt of the earth, 14 the light of the world, the citie on an hill, 15 the candle: 17 that he came to fulfill the Law: 21 what it is to kill, 27 to commit adulterie, 33 to sweare: 38 Exhorteth to suffer wrong, 44 to loue euen our enemies, 38 and to labour after perfectnesse.
1 Und die Menge sehend, ging er hinauf in einen Berg: Und als er saß, kamen seine Jünger zum ihm.
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went vp into a mountaine: and when he was set, his disciples came vnto him.
2 Und er öffnete seinen Mund und lehrte sie, und sagte,
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 “*Glückselig sind die Armen im Geist: Denn ihrer ist das Königreich des Himmels. [*Lukas 6:20]
3 *Blessed are the poore in spirit: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. [ *Luk.6.20 ]
4 Glückselig sind die, welche trauern: Denn sie werden getröstet werden.

5 *Glückselig sind die Sanftmütigen: Denn sie werden die Erde erben. [*Psalmen 37:11]
5 *Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherit the earth.[ *Psa.37.11. ]
6 Glückselig sind die, welche nach Rechtschaffenheit hungern und dürsten: *Denn die sollen gesättigt werden.[*Jesaja 65:13]

9 Glückselig sind die Friedensstifter: Denn sie werden Kinder Gottes genannt werden.

10 *Glückselig sind die, welche der Rechtschaffenheit willen verfolgt werden: Denn ihrer ist das Konigreich des Himmels.[*1. Petrus 3:14]
10 *Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousnesse sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.[ * 1.Pet.3.14. ]
11 Glückselig seid ihr, wenn Menschen euch beschimpfen und euch verfolgen und +fälschlich alle Art *Böses gegen euch sagen, um meines Namens willen.[*1. Petrus 4:14 +griechisch: lügen]
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall reuile you, and persecute you, and shal say all manner of *euill against you+falsly for my sake. [ * 1.Pet.4. 14. ,+ Gr. lying. ]
12 Jubiliert und seid außerordentlich froh: Denn groß ist euer Lohn im Himmel: Denn so verfolgten sie die Propheten, die vor euch waren.
12 Reioyce, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heauen: For so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.
13 ¶ Ihr seid das Salz der Erde: *Aber wenn das Salz seinen Geschmack verloren hat, womit wird es gesalzen werden? Es ist fortan für nichts gut, außer vertrieben zu werden und zertreten zu werden unter den Füßen der Menschen. [*Markus 9:50 Lukas 14:34]
13 ¶ Yee are the salt of the earth: *But if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it bee salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men. [ * Marke 9. 50 luke. 14 34. ]
14 Ihr seid das Licht der Welt. Eine Stadt, die auf einem Hügel errichtet ist, kann nicht versteckt werden.
14 Yee are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot be hid.
15 Menschen ||zünden keine Kerze an und tun sie unter ein Scheffelmaß: Sondern auf einen Kerzenständer und sie gibt Licht zu allen, die im Haus sind. [||Das Wort bezeichnet im Original ein Maß, dass einem halben Liter weniger als ein Viertelscheffel entspricht. *Markus 4:21 Lukas 8:16 und 11:33]
15 Neither doe men || light a candle, and put it vnder a *bushell: but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house. [ || The word in the originall signifieth a measure containing about a pint lesse then a pecke. , *Marke 4. 21 luke 8.16. and 11. 33. ]
16 Lasst euer Licht strahlen vor den Menschen, *dass sie eure guten Werke sehen und euren Vater preisen, der im Himmel ist.[*1. Petrus 2:12]
16 Let your light so shine before men, *that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your father which is in heauen. [ *1.Pet.2. 12. ]
17 ¶ Denkt nicht, dass ich gekommen bin, das Gesetz oder die Propheten zu zerstören. Ich bin nicht gekommen zu zerstören, sondern zu erfüllen.
17 ¶ Thinke not that I am come to destroy the lawe or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Denn wahrlich, ich sage euch “*Bis Himmel und Erde vergehen, das Geringste oder ein Pünktchen wird in keiner Weise vom Gesetz schwinden, bis alles erfüllt ist.[*Lukas 16:17]
18 For verily I say vnto you, *Till heauen and earth passe, one iote or one title, shall in no wise passe from the law, till all be fulfilled. [ *Luke 16. 17. ]
19 *Wer auch immer deshalb eines dieser kleinsten Gebote brechen wird, und Menschen dieses lehrt, wird er der Geringste im Königreich des Himmels genennt werden: Sondern wer auch immer sie tut, und sie lehrt, derselbe wird groß im Königreich des Himmels genannt werden.[*Jakobus 2:10]
19 *Whosoeuer therfore shall breake one of these least commaundements, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall doe, and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen. [ *Iames 2. 10. ]
20 Denn ich sage zu euch ‘Dass, außer eure Rechtschaffenheit übertrifft die Rechtschaffenheit der Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer, werdet ihr in keinem Fall in das Königreich des Himmels eintreten.’
20 For I say vnto you, That except your righteousnesse shall exceede the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharisees, yee shall in no case enter into the kingdome of heauen.
21 ¶
21 ¶ Yee haue heard, that it was saide || by them of old time, *Thou shalt not kill: and, Whosoeuer shall kill, shalbe in danger of the iudgement. [ || Or, to them , *Exod. 20. 13. deut.5. 17. ]
22
22 But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the Iudgement: and whosoeuer shall say to his brother, Racha, shal be in danger of the counsell: but whosoeuer shall say, Thou foole, shalbe in danger of hell fire.
23
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee:
24
24 Leaue there thy gift before the altar, and goe thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25
25 *Agree with thine aduersarie quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him: least at any time the aduersarie deliuer thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [ *Luke 12. 58. ]
26
26 Uerily I say vnto thee, thou shalt by no meanes come out thence, till thou hast payd the vttermost farthing.
27
27 ¶ Yee haue heard that it was said by them of old time, *Thou shalt not commit adulterie. [ * Exod. 20. 14. ]
28
28 But I say vnto you, That whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart.
29
29 *And if thy right eie || offend thee, plucke 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. [ * Chap. 18. 8. marke 9. 47. , || Or, doe cause thee to offend.]
30
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
31 It hath beene said, *Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a writing of diuorcement. [ * Deut.24. 1. luke 16. 18. 1.cor. 7.10. ]
32
32 But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer shall put away his wife, sauing for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoeuer shall marie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie.
33
33 ¶ Againe, yee haue heard that it hath beene said by them of old time, *Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe vnto the Lord thine othes. [ *Exod.20. 7. leuit. 19. 12. deut.5. 11. ]
34
34 But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is Gods throne:
35
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstoole: neither by Hierusalem, for it is the citie of the great king.
36
36 Neither shalt thou sweare by thy head, because thou canst not make one haire white or blacke.
37
37 *But let your communication bee Yea, yea: Nay, nay: For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill. [ * Iam.5.12. ]
38
38 ¶ Yee haue heard that it hath beene said, *An eie for an eie, and a tooth for a tooth. [ * Exod. 21. 24. leuit.24 20. deut.19 21. ]
39
39 But I say vnto you, *that yee resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also. [ *Luke 6. 29. rom.12. 17. 1.cor.6. 7. ]
40
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloake also.
41
41 And whosoeuer shall compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine.
42
42 Giue to him that asketh thee: and *from him that would borrow of thee, turne not thou away. [ *Deut. 15.8. ]
43
43 ¶ Yee haue heard, that it hath beene said, *Thou shalt loue thy neighbour, and hate thine enemie: [ *Leuit.19.18. ]
44
44 But I say vnto you, *Loue your enemies, blesse them that curse you, doe good to them that hate you, and *pray for them which despitefully vse you, and persecute you: [ *Luke 6.27. , *Luke 23.34. acts 7.60. ]
45
45 That yee may be the children of your father which is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to rise on the euill and on the good, and sendeth raine on the iust, and on the vniust.
46
46 *For if yee loue them which loue you, what reward haue yee? Doe not euen the Publicanes the same? [ *Luke 6.32. ]
47
47 And if yee salute your brethren only, what do you more then others? Doe not euen the Publicanes so?
48
48 Be yee therefore perfect, euen as your father, which is in heauen, is perfect.
