Blee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, 17 Think not that I am come to destroy and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, meading their nets: and ne called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teach ing in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. the law or the prophets: 1 am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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 fuli ned. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdont 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 by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judg 24 And his fame went throughout all Sy-ment: ria: and they brought unto him all sick peo- 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is ple that were taken with divers diseases and angry with his brother withont a cause shall be torments, and those which were possessed in danger of the judgment: and whosoever with devils, and those which were lunatic, shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danand those that had the palsy; and he healed ger of the council: but whosoever shall them. • Who are blessed. 13 The Apostles are the salt of the earth, and light of the world.
