Propovijed na gori
(Lk 6:20-23)
1Kad Isus ugleda da se okupilo mnoštvo, popne se na goru i sjedne. Nato mu priđu njegovi učenici. 2On počne poučavati.
3“Blago onima koji shvaćaju da im je Bog potreban5:3 U grčkome: onima koji su ponizna duha, ili doslovce: siromašnima u duhu.
jer je njihovo nebesko kraljevstvo!
4Blago onima koji tuguju,
jer će ih Bog utješiti!
5Blago krotkima,
jer će baštiniti zemlju!
6Blago onima koji su gladni i žedni pravednosti,
jer će je se nasititi!
7Blago milosrdnima,
jer će se i njima iskazati milosrđe!
8Blago ljudima čista srca,
jer će gledati Boga!
9Blago mirotvorcima,
jer će se nazivati Božjom djecom!
10Blago onima koje progone zato što su pravedni pred Bogom,
jer je njihovo nebesko kraljevstvo!
11Blago vama kad vas zbog mene budu grdili i progonili i lažno vam pripisivali kojekakva zla! 12Radujte se zbog toga, silno se radujte! Jer velika vas nagrada čeka na nebesima. Tako su progonili i proroke prije vas!”
Sol i svjetlo
(Mk 9:50; Lk 11:33; 14:34-35)
13“Vi ste sol čovječanstvu5:13 U grčkome: sol zemlje.. Ali kakva je korist od soli ako obljutavi? Za što se može uporabiti? Ni za što, osim da se izbaci van, da ju ljudi pogaze.
14Vi ste svjetlost svijetu—grad na gori koji noću sjaji da ga svi vide. 15Svjetiljku ne palite da biste ju pokrili pod košaru, nego da biste ju postavili tako da svijetli svima u kući. 16Neka vaša svjetlost svijetli pred ljudima tako da vide vaša dobra djela i da slave vašega Oca koji je na nebesima.”
Isus poučava o Zakonu
(Lk 16:17)
17“Nemojte pogrešno shvatiti da sam došao ukinuti Zakon i zapise proroka. Nisam ih došao ukinuti, nego ispuniti. 18Zaista vam kažem: sve dok postoji nebo i zemlja, nijedno slovce, nijedan potez pera u Zakonu neće nestati dok se sve ne ostvari. 19Prekrši li zato tko i najmanju zapovijed i druge tome pouči, bit će najmanji u nebeskom kraljevstvu. Ali oni koji poučavaju Božjim zakonima i pokoravaju im se bit će veliki u nebeskom kraljevstvu. 20Kažem vam, ne bude li vaša pravednost veća od pravednosti pismoznanaca i farizeja, nipošto nećete ući u nebesko kraljevstvo!”
O srdžbi
(Lk 12:58-59)
21“Čuli ste da je starima rečeno u Zakonu: ‘Ne ubij! Tko ubije, mora biti izveden pred sud.’ 22A ja vam kažem: tko se rasrdi na svojeg brata, odgovarat će pred sudom! Nazove li ga glupanom, odgovarat će pred najvišim sudom. A nazove li ga luđakom, odgovarat će za to u paklenome ognju!
23Stojiš li, dakle, pred žrtvenikom u Hramu prinoseći žrtvu Bogu pa se iznenada sjetiš da neki tvoj brat ima što protiv tebe, 24ostavi žrtvu pred žrtvenikom pa se najprije pomiri s njime, a tek onda dođi i prinesi žrtvu Bogu.
25Brzo se nagodi s protivnikom, prije nego što bude kasno, dok te nije izveo pred sud, a sudac bacio u tamnicu. 26Zaista ti kažem, odande nećeš izići sve dok ne isplatiš sve do posljednjeg novčića!”
O preljubu
(Mt 18:8-9; Mk 9:43-48)
27“Čuli ste da u Zakonu piše: ‘Ne čini preljuba!’ 28A ja vam kažem: Tko samo i pogleda ženu s požudom, već je u svojem srcu s njom počinio preljub. 29Ako te tvoje desno oko navodi na grijeh, iskopaj ga i baci. Bolje ti je da samo jedan dio tvojeg tijela bude uništen nego da sav budeš bačen u pakao. 30Pa makar te i tvoja desna ruka navodila na grijeh, odsijeci ju i baci od sebe. Bolje da ostaneš bez jednoga od udova nego da ti cijelo tijelo ode u pakao.”
O rastavi
(Mt 19:9; Mk 10:11-12; Lk 16:18)
31“Također ste čuli: ‘Tko otpusti svoju ženu, neka joj dade otpusnicu.’5:31 Ponovljeni zakon 24:1. 32Ali ja vam kažem: Tko god se razvede od svoje žene, osim zbog njezina bluda, navodi ju na preljub. I tko god se oženi razvedenom ženom, čini preljub.”
O zakletvi
33“Čuli ste da u Zakonu piše: ‘Ne krši zakletve, nego izvrši ono na što si se Gospodinu zakleo.’5:33 Brojevi 30:2. 34A ja vam kažem: Ne kunite se nikako! Ni nebom, jer je Božje prijestolje, 35ni zemljom, jer je podnožje njegovim nogama, ni Jeruzalemom, jer je to grad velikoga kralja. 36Ne kunite se ni svojom glavom, jer ni jednu jedinu vlas niste u stanju učiniti bijelom ili crnom. 37Kad kažete: ‘Da’, neka to znači ‘da’, kad kažete: ‘Ne’, neka znači ‘ne’; sve što je više, dolazi od Zloga.”
O osveti
(Lk 6:29-30)
38“Čuli ste da u Zakonu piše: ‘Oko za oko, zub za zub!’5:38 Izlazak 21:24. 39A ja vam kažem: Ne opirite se zlotvoru! Pljusne li vas, naprotiv, tko po jednom obrazu, okrenite mu i drugi! 40Ako bi se tko htio s tobom parničiti da ti otme košulju, daj mu i svoj ogrtač. 41Primoraju li te rimski vojnici da im poneseš opremu jednu milju, ponesi ju dvije.5:41 Prema ondašnjem zakonu rimski su vojnici imali pravo to činiti. 42Zatraži li tko nešto od tebe, daj mu, i nemoj okrenuti leđa onome tko te zamoli da mu posudiš.”
O ljubavi prema neprijatelju
(Lk 6:27-28, 32-36)
43“Čuli ste da u Zakonu piše: ‘Ljubi svojega bližnjega, a mrzi neprijatelje!’ 44A ja vam kažem: Ljubite i svoje neprijatelje i molite se za one koji vas progone! 45Tako ćete se ponijeti kao prava djeca svojega nebeskog Oca, koji daje da njegovo sunce izlazi i nad zlima i nad dobrima te da kiša pada i pravednicima i nepravednicima. 46Jer ako volite samo one koji vas vole, kakvu nagradu možete očekivati? Ne čine li tako i ubirači poreza?5:46 Oni su u to doba bili omraženi u narodu zbog suradnje s okupatorskim vlastima i zbog toga što su iznuđivali novac od siromašnoga puka. 47Ako ste ljubazni samo prema svojoj braći, po čemu se razlikujete od drugih? To čine i neznabošci. 48Budite, dakle, savršeni kao što je savršen vaš nebeski Otac.”
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, 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 savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither 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. 16Let 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 fulfil. 18For 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. 19Whosoever 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. 20For 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 judgment: 22But 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. 23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25Agree 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. 26Verily 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: 28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29And 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. 30And 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. 31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32But 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: 34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: 35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37But 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: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give 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 neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But 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; 45That 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. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
