Ninth Sunday after
Pentecost
August 14, 2011
Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them, saying:
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
“But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.
“Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin.
“But anyone who says, ‘You fool’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’
“But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
“And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
“Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,” and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
“But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
“He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
Matthew 5:1-2, 21-22, 33-37, 43-45
