2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, 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: ...
(Matthew 5:2–13 (to :))
14 Ye are the light of the world. ...
16 Let 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.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, ...
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: ...
38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give 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.
44 But 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;
45 That 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.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
(Matthew 5:14 (to 1st .), 16, 17, 29 (to 2nd ,), 30 (to :), 38–48)
6 ... when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
(Matthew 6:6–13 when)
19 ¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, ...
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, ...
25 ... Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. ...
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(Matthew 6:19 (to 1st ,), 20 (to 1st ,), 25 Take (to .), 33)
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For ...
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
5 ... first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, ...
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
(John 8:12 I, 26 he, 31 If, 32)
6 ... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(John 14:6 I)

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, ...
(Matthew 13:1–3 (to 1st ,))
33 ¶ Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
(Matthew 13:33)
6 ... Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

(Psalms 1:1, 2)

X. Jesus demonstrated Christ; he proved that Christ
is the divine idea of God — the Holy Ghost, Holy Ghost or Comforter
21 or Comforter, revealing the divine Principle,
Love, and leading into all truth.

ing to the human consciousness.

30 Pharisees and of the Sadducees, which he de- Leaven of Truth
fined as human doctrines. His parable of the

ence that the spiritual leaven signifies the Science of Christ
3 and its spiritual interpretation, ...
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 117:29–3 (to ,))
Ages pass, but this leaven of Truth is ever at work.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 118:10 (only))
As the individual ideal of Truth, Christ Jesus came to
rebuke rabbinical error and all sin, sickness, and death, —

30 We cannot choose for
ourselves, but must work out our salvation in the way
Jesus taught.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 30:19–21, 30–32)
All that really exists is the divine Mind and
27 its idea, and in this Mind the entire being is found har-
monious and eternal. The straight and narrow way is to
see and acknowledge this fact, yield to this power, and
30 follow the leadings of truth.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 151:26)
9 Truth has furnished
the key to the kingdom, and with this key Christian Sci-
ence has opened the door of the human understanding.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 99:9–11)
12 Truth, Life, and Love are the only
legitimate and eternal demands on man, and they are
spiritual lawgivers, enforcing obedience through divine

Neither
12 philosophy nor skepticism can hinder the march of the
Science which reveals the supremacy of Mind. The im-
manent sense of Mind-power enhances the glory of Mind.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 209:11–14)
30 The only excuse
for entertaining human opinions and rejecting the Science
of being is our mortal ignorance of Spirit, — ignorance
1 which yields only to the understanding of divine Science,
the understanding by which we enter into the kingdom
3 of Truth on earth and learn that Spirit is infinite and
supreme.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 280:30–4)
Spirit is immortal
12 Truth; matter is mortal error.

... Truth is the light which
1 dispels error.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 282:26 (only), 32–1 2nd Truth)

24 the only power obtainable.

love, receives directly the divine power.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 192:23–24 (to 1st .), 30)

12 be heard no more, and let the harmonious and true sense
of Life and being take possession of human consciousness.

Truth is
18 indeed “the way.”
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 535:17)
The final demonstration of the truth which Jesus taught,
18 and for which he was crucified, opened a new era for the
world.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 43:17–19)
27 The only way to this
living Truth, which heals the sick, is found in the Science
of divine Mind as taught and demonstrated by Christ
30 Jesus.

Jesus was “the way;” that is, he marked the way for
all men.
