Matthew 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Sermon on the Mount; The Beatitudes

(Luk 6:20–26 )

Now^G1161 when Jesus saw^G3708 the crowds^G3793, He went^G305 up^G305 on the [fn]mountain^G3735; and after He sat^G2523 down^G2523, His disciples^G3101 came^G4334 to Him.

Mat 5:2

Mat 5:2And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

Mat 5:3

“[fn]Blessed^G3107 are the poor^G4434 in spirit^G4151, for theirs^G846 is the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772.

Mat 5:4

“Blessed^G3107 are those^G3588 who mourn^G3996, for they will be comforted^G3870.

Mat 5:5

“Blessed^G3107 are the [fn]gentle^G4239, for they will inherit^G2816 the earth^G1093.

Mat 5:6

“Blessed^G3107 are those^G3588 who hunger^G3983 and thirst^G1372 for righteousness^G1343, for they will be satisfied^G5526.

Mat 5:7

“Blessed^G3107 are the merciful^G1655, for they will receive^G1653 mercy^G1653.

Mat 5:8

“Blessed^G3107 are the pure^G2513 in heart^G2588, for they will see^G3708 God^G2316.

Mat 5:9

“Blessed^G3107 are the peacemakers^G1518, for they will be called^G2564 sons^G5207 of God^G2316.

Mat 5:10

“Blessed^G3107 are those^G3588 who have been persecuted^G1377 for the sake^G6025 of righteousness^G1343, for theirs^G846 is the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772.

Mat 5:11

“Blessed^G3107 are you when^G3752 people insult^G3679 you and persecute^G1377 you, and falsely^G5574 say^G3004 all^G3956 kinds^G3956 of evil^G4190 against^G2596 you because^G6025 of Me.

Mat 5:12

Mat 5:12“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Disciples and the World

(Mar 9:50; Luk 14:34, 35 )

Mat 5:13

“You are the salt^G217 of the earth^G1093; but if^G1437 the salt^G217 has become^G3471 tasteless^G3471, how^G1722^G5101 [fn]can it be made^G233 salty^G233 again? It is^G2480 no^G3762 longer^G2089 good^G2480 for anything^G3762, except^G1508 to be thrown^G906 out and trampled^G2662 underfoot^G2662 by people^G444.

Mat 5:14

“You are the light^G5457 of the world^G2889. A city^G4172 set^G2749 on a [fn]hill^G3735 cannot^G1410^G3756 be hidden^G2928;

Mat 5:15

Mat 5:15nor do people light a lamp and put it under a [fn]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Mat 5:16

Mat 5:16“Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Mat 5:17

“Do not presume^G3543 that I came^G2064 to abolish^G2647 the Law^G3551 or^G2228 the Prophets^G4396; I did not come^G2064 to abolish^G2647, but to fulfill^G4137.

Mat 5:18

Mat 5:18“For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not [fn]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!

Mat 5:19

Mat 5:19“Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [fn]others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [fn]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 5:20

“For I say^G3004 to you that unless^G1437^G3361 your righteousness^G1343 far^G4183 surpasses^G4052 that of the scribes^G1122 and Pharisees^G5330, you will not enter^G1525 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772.

Personal Relationships

(Luk 12:57–59 )

Mat 5:21

“You have heard^G191 that [fn]the ancients^G744 were told^G3004, ‘YOU SHALL NOT MURDER^G5407,’ and ‘Whoever^G3739^G302 commits^G5407 murder^G5407 shall be answerable^G1777 to the court^G2920.’

Mat 5:22

Mat 5:22“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[fn]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to [fn]the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the [fn]fiery hell.

Mat 5:23

Mat 5:23“Therefore, if you are presenting your [fn]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

Mat 5:24

Mat 5:24leave your [fn]offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [fn]offering.

Mat 5:25

Mat 5:25“[fn]Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not be thrown into prison.

Mat 5:26

Mat 5:26“Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last [fn]quadrans.

Mat 5:27

“You have heard^G191 that it was said^G3004, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT^G3431 ADULTERY^G3431’;

Mat 5:28

Mat 5:28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Mat 5:29

Mat 5:29“Now if your right eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, [fn]than for your whole body to be thrown into [fn]hell.

Mat 5:30

Mat 5:30“And if your right hand is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is better for you [fn]to lose one of the parts of your body, [fn]than for your whole body to go into [fn]hell.

(Mat 19:9; Mar 10:11, 12; Luk 16:18 )

Mat 5:31

“Now^G1161 it was said^G3004, ‘WHOEVER^G3739^G302 SENDS^G630 HIS WIFE^G1135 AWAY IS TO GIVE^G1325 HER A CERTIFICATE^G647 OF^G647 DIVORCE^G647’;

Mat 5:32

Mat 5:32but I say to you that everyone who [fn]divorces his wife, except for the reason of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [fn]divorced woman commits adultery.

Mat 5:33

“Again^G3825, you have heard^G191 that [fn]the ancients^G744 were told^G3004, ‘[fn]YOU SHALL NOT [fn]MAKE^G1964 FALSE^G1964 VOWS^G1964, BUT SHALL FULFILL^G591 YOUR [fn]VOWS^G3727 TO THE LORD^G2962.’

Mat 5:34

Mat 5:34“But I say to you, take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

Mat 5:35

Mat 5:35nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, nor [fn]by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.

Mat 5:36

Mat 5:36“Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

Mat 5:37

Mat 5:37“But make sure your statement is, ‘[fn]Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [fn]of evil origin.

(Luk 6:29–31 )

Mat 5:38

“You have heard^G191 that it was said^G3004, ‘EYE^G3788 FOR EYE^G3788, and TOOTH^G3599 FOR TOOTH^G3599.’

Mat 5:39

Mat 5:39“But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also.

Mat 5:40

Mat 5:40“And if anyone wants to sue you and take your [fn]tunic, let him have your [fn]cloak also.

Mat 5:41

Mat 5:41“Whoever [fn]forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

Mat 5:42

Mat 5:42“Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

(Luk 6:27, 28, 32–36 )

Mat 5:43

“You have heard^G191 that it was said^G3004, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE^G25 YOUR NEIGHBOR^G4139 and hate^G3404 your enemy^G2190.’

Mat 5:44

Mat 5:44“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Mat 5:45

Mat 5:45so that you may prove yourselves to be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Mat 5:46

Mat 5:46“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same?

Mat 5:47

Mat 5:47“And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same?

Mat 5:48

Mat 5:48“Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
