Teachings
of Jesus
"He without sin among you, cast the first stone - John 8:7"
"And
Jesus
answered him,
THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS, Hear, O Israel; The
Lord
our God is one Lord: And thou shalt LOVE THE LORD THY GOD with
all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all
thy
strength: this is the first commandment. And THE SECOND is like, namely
this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment
greater than these." Mark 12:29- 31
Discipleship: "If anyone wants to be a follower of
mine,
let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me"
(Lk
9:23)
Enemies: "Love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute
you" (Mt 5:44)
Faith: "If you had faith like a mustard seed you could
say
to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it
would
obey you" (Lk17:6)
Forgiveness: Then Peter went up to him and said, "Lord,
how
often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? As often as seven
times?"
Jesus answered, "Not seven, I tell you, but seventy-seven times" (Mt
18-21-22)
How to Live: "So always treat others as you would like
them
to treat you" (Mt 7:12)
Humility: "Many who are first will be last, and the last,
first"
(Mk 10:31)
Judgement: "Do not judge, and you will not be judged" (Mt
7:1)
Love: "My command to you is to love one another"
(Jn
15:17) (John 17)
Possessions: "Watch, and be on your guard against avarice
of
any kind, for life does not consist in possessions, even when someone
has
more than he needs" (Lk 12:15)
Prayer: "Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and
you
will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you" (Mt 7:7)
Sincerity: "Be careful not to parade your uprightness in
public
to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your
Father
in Heaven" (Mt 6:1)
True Happiness: "More blessed still are those who
hear
the word of God and keep
it!"
(Lk 11:28)
Worry: "Set your hearts on His (the Father's) kingdom
first,
and on God's saving justice, and all these other things will be given
you
as well. So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of
itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Mt 6:33-34)
(Mathew 5 1-12)
When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat
down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
 "Blessed are the poor
in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and
thirst for righteousness,
for they will
be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of
God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for
theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter
every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
