The Book of Jesus Chapter Five: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
The light of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is diseased,
your whole body will be filled with darkness. If then the light that is inside you is darkness, how great that darkness will be.
No one can [serve] slave for two masters. He will either hate the first and love the second or else he will hold to the one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and money.
That's why I'm telling you not to worry about your life; what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body and what you
will wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing? Observe the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or gather
into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they are? Which of you by worrying can add one single
cubit to his life span? And why worry about clothing! Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not work and they don't
spin. And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much
more clothe you, you men of little faith?
So don't worry and say, 'What are we going to eat or what are we going to drink or how are we to be clothed?' It is after all these
things that the people who don't know God [pagans] strive after.
Your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But you, seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all
these things will be added to you. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. [for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself-KJ]. Each day has enough trouble of it's own.
Do not judge and you will not be judged. For with the type of judgment you use to judge, you will be judged. Do not condemn and
you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and it will be given you, a full measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For the
same measure that you use to measure out is the same that will used to measure back to you again.

He also spoke a parable to them:
JESUS.
Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfect, will be like his teacher.
Why do you observe the splinter that's in your brother's eye, and yet don't consider the beam that's in your own eye? How can you say
to your brother, 'Let me pull the splinter out of your eye', when look, a beam is in your own eye. You hypocrite, remove the beam
from your own eye first and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your bother's eye.
Do not give what is Holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls in front of pigs or they may trample them under their feet and then
turn on you and tear you to pieces.
Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; the
one who seeks, will find; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened to him.
Is there a man among you who would give his son a stone if he asked for bread; or if he asked for a fish, would you give him a snake?
If you then who are evil, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give good
things to those who ask him. Therefore, anything that you would want men to do to you, you do the same to them; for this is the Law
and the Prophets.
You, enter in at the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction and there are many who enter in by
that gate. But, because the gate is narrow and the road is narrow which leads to life, there are few who find it.
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath, they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by
their fruits, for every tree can be identified by the fruit it produces. Do men pick grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? In the same
manner, a good tree produces good fruit. But a rotten tree produces diseased fruit. Neither can a rotten tree produce good fruit. Every
tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
A good man out of the good treasures of his heart produces that which is good and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart
produces that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord.' and not do the things I say? Not everyone that says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom
of Heaven, but he that does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name and work many
miracles in your name?' Then I will profess to them, 'I never knew you, get away from me you workers of iniquity.' Therefore,
everyone who comes to me and hears these words of mine and does them, I will show you what he is like:
I will compare him to a wise man who built a house, dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock. The rain fell, the waters rose, the
winds blew and the flooded river beat violently against the house, but could not shake it, for it's foundation was laid on rock.
And everyone that hears these sayings of mine and does not do them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the
sand without a foundation. And the rain fell, the waters rose, the winds blew and the flooded river beat violently against the house and
it immediately fell and the damage to that house was great.
