   Mateo, capítulo 5 Sermón de Cristo sobre monte. Ocho bienaventuranzas. 5:1. Y viendo multitudes subió monte y sentado sus discípulos vinieron a él. 5:2. Y abriendo su boca les enseñaba diciendo: 5:3. Benditos pobres de espíritu porque suyo es reino celestial. Pobres de espíritu.... Es decir humildes y quienes no fijan espíritu en riquezas. 5:4. Benditos mansos porque poseerán tierra. 5:5. Benditos quienes lloran porque serán consolados. 5:6. Benditos hambrientos y sedientos de justicia porque serán saciados. 5:7. Benditos misericordiosos porque obtendrán misericordia. 5:8. Benditos limpios de corazón porque verán a Dios. 5:9. Benditos pacificadores porque serán llamados hijos de Dios. 5:10. Benditos quienes sufren persecución por justicia porque suyo es reino celestial. 5:11. Benditos vosotros cuando os injurien y persigan y hablen todo mal contra vosotros falsamente por mí: 5:12. Alegraos y regocijaos porque vuestra recompensa es grandísima en cielo. Porque así persiguieron profetas que fueron antes de vosotros. 5:13. Sois sal de tierra. Pero si sal pierde sabor ¿con qué se salará? Para nada sirve sino ser echada fuera y pisada por hombres. 5:14. Sois luz del mundo. Ciudad en monte no puede ocultarse. 5:15. Ni encienden hombres vela y ponen bajo celemín sino en candelero para que brille a todos en casa. 5:16. Así brille vuestra luz ante hombres para que vean vuestras obras buenas y glorifiquen vuestro Padre en cielo. 5:17. No penséis que vine a destruir ley o profetas. No vine a destruir sino cumplir. Cumplir.... Realizando todas figuras y profecías y perfeccionando todo imperfecto. 5:18. Porque amén os digo hasta pasar cielo y tierra no pasará una jota ni tilde de ley hasta todo cumplido. Amén.... Es decir ciertamente en verdad.... Palabra hebrea amén se retiene por ejemplo y autoridad de cuatro Evangelistas. Señor la usa como fuerte aseveración y afirmación de verdad. 5:19. Quien quebrante uno de mínimos mandamientos y así enseñe hombres será llamado mínimo en reino celestial. Pero quien obre y enseñe será llamado grande en reino celestial. 5:20. Porque os digo salvo que vuestra justicia abunde más que de escribas y fariseos no entraréis reino celestial. Escribas y fariseos.... Escribas eran doctores de ley de Moisés: fariseos grupo preciso profesando observancia más exacta de ley y por ello muy estimados por pueblo. 5:21. Oísteis dicho a antiguos: No matarás. Y quien mate estará en peligro de juicio. En peligro de juicio.... Es decir merecerá castigo del tribunal menor judío llamado Juicio que conocía tales crímenes. 5:22. Pero os digo quien se enoja con hermano estará en peligro de juicio. Quien diga Raca al hermano en peligro de concilio. Quien diga Necio en peligro de fuego infernal. Raca.... Palabra que expresa gran indignación o desprecio. En peligro de concilio.... Es decir merecerá castigo del tribunal máximo llamado Concilio o Sanedrín de setenta y dos personas donde máximas causas se examinaban y juzgaban en Jerusalén. Necio.... Se consideraba injuria atroz dicha con desprecio, rencor o malicia y por ello aquí severamente condenada. En peligro de fuego infernal.... Literalmente según griego merecerá ser echado en Gehena de fuego. Palabras usadas por Salvador para expresar fuego y castigos de infierno.

   Matthew Chapter 5 Christ’s sermon upon the mount. The eight beatitudes. 5:1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. 5:2. And opening his mouth he taught them, saying: 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The poor in spirit.... That is, the humble; and they whose spirit is not set upon riches. 5:4. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. 5:5. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5:6. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. 5:7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 5:8. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. 5:9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 5:10. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:11. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: 5:12. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. 5:13. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. 5:14. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. 5:15. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. 5:16. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 5:17. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. To fulfil.... By accomplishing all the figures and prophecies; and perfecting all that was imperfect. 5:18. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. Amen.... That is, assuredly of a truth.... This Hebrew word, amen, is here retained by the example and authority of all the four Evangelists. It is used by our Lord as a strong asseveration, and affirmation of the truth. 5:19. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 5:20. For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. The scribes and Pharisees.... The scribes were the doctors of the law of Moses: the Pharisees were a precise set of men, making profession of a more exact observance of the law: and upon that account greatly esteemed among the people. 5:21. You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. Shall be in danger of the judgment.... That is, shall deserve to be punished by that lesser tribunal among the Jews, called the Judgment, which took cognizance of such crimes. 5:22. But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Raca.... A word expressing great indignation or contempt. Shall be in danger of the council.... That is, shall deserve to be punished by the highest court of judicature, called the Council, or Sanhedrim, consisting of seventy-two persons, where the highest causes were tried and judged, which was at Jerusalem. Thou fool.... This was then looked upon as a heinous injury, when uttered with contempt, spite, or malice: and therefore is here so severely condemned. Shall be in danger of hell fire.... literally, according to the Greek, shall deserve to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. Which words our Saviour made use of to express the fire and punishments of hell.

   Traducción al español de Atlas of Saints

   5:23. Si por tanto ofreces tu don al altar y allí recuerdas que tu hermano tiene algo contra ti; 5:24. Deja allí tu ofrenda ante altar y ve primero a reconciliarte con tu hermano y luego viniendo ofrecerás tu don. 5:25. Acuerda temprano con adversario mientras vas en camino con él no sea que quizá adversario te entregue al juez y juez te entregue al oficial y seas echado en prisión. 5:26. Amén te digo no saldrás hasta pagar último cuadrante. 5:27. Oísteis dicho a antiguos: No cometerás adulterio. 5:28. Pero os digo quien mire mujer para desearla ya cometió adulterio con ella en corazón. 5:29. Y si tu ojo derecho te escandaliza arráncalo y échalo de ti. Porque conviene que perezca uno de tus miembros antes que tu cuerpo entero echado a infierno. Te escandaliza.... Es decir si es para ti tropiezo u ocasión de pecado. Nos enseña huir ocasiones inmediatas de pecado aunque sean tan queridas para nosotros o tan necesarias como mano u ojo. 5:30. Y si tu mano derecha te escandaliza córtala y échala de ti porque conviene que perezca uno de tus miembros antes que tu cuerpo entero vaya a infierno. 5:31. Se dijo quien repudie su esposa le dé carta de divorcio. 5:32. Pero os digo quien repudie su esposa salvo causa de fornicación la hace cometer adulterio y quien case repudiada comete adulterio. 5:33. De nuevo oísteis dicho a antiguos no perjurarás sino cumplirás juramentos al Señor. 5:34. Pero os digo no jurar en absoluto ni por cielo porque es trono de Dios: No jurar en absoluto.... No se prohíbe jurar en verdad, justicia y juicio para honor de Dios o defensa justa propia o de prójimo sino solo jurar temeraria o profanamente en conversación común sin necesidad. 5:35. Ni por tierra porque es su escabel ni por Jerusalén porque ciudad del gran rey: 5:36. Ni jurarás por tu cabeza porque no puedes hacer un pelo blanco o negro. 5:37. Pero vuestra habla sea sí, sí: no, no y exceso es del mal. 5:38. Oísteis dicho ojo por ojo y diente por diente. 5:39. Pero os digo no resistir mal sino si uno te golpea en tu mejilla derecha vuélvele también la otra: No resistir mal, etc.... Se manda paciencia cristiana bajo injurias y afrentas y disposición a sufrir más en vez de consentir deseo de venganza: pero añadido no obliga estrictamente según letra pues ni Cristo ni Pablo volvieron otra mejilla. Juan 18 y Hechos 23. 5:40. Si hombre litiga contigo y toma tu túnica cédele también tu manto. 5:41. Quien te fuerce una milla ve con él otras dos. 5:42. Da a quien te pide y no te apartes de quien quiere pedirte prestado. 5:43. Oísteis dicho amarás prójimo y odiarás enemigo. 5:44. Pero os digo amad enemigos, haced bien a quienes os odian y orad por quienes os persiguen y calumnian: 5:45. Para que seáis hijos de vuestro Padre celestial que hace su sol salir sobre buenos y malos y llueve sobre justos e injustos. 5:46. Si amáis a quienes os aman ¿qué recompensa tendréis? ¿No hacen esto incluso los publicanos? Publicanos.... Recaudadores de impuestos públicos, grupo odioso e infame entre judíos por extorsiones e injusticia. 5:47. Y si saludáis solo vuestros hermanos ¿qué hacéis más? ¿No hacen esto paganos? 5:48. Sed por tanto perfectos como también vuestro Padre celestial es perfecto.

   5:23. If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath anything against thee; 5:24. Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother, and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift. 5:25. Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 5:26. Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing. 5:27. You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 5:28. But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. 5:29. And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body be cast into hell. Scandalize thee.... That is, if it be a stumblingblock, or occasion of sin to thee. By which we are taught to fly the immediate occasions of sin, though they be as dear to us, or as necessary as a hand or an eye. 5:30. And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body go into hell. 5:31. And it hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. 5:32. But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. 5:33. Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord. 5:34. But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven for it is the throne of God: Not to swear at all.... It is not forbid to swear in truth, justice and judgment; to the honour of God, or our own or neighbour’s just defence: but only to swear rashly, or profanely, in common discourse, and without necessity. 5:35. Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king: 5:36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 5:37. But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil. 5:38. You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 5:39. But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other: Not to resist evil, etc.... What is here commanded, is a Christian patience under injuries and affronts, and to be willing even to suffer still more, rather than to indulge the desire of revenge: but what is further added does not strictly oblige according to the letter, for neither did Christ nor St. Paul turn the other cheek. St. John 18., and Acts 23. 5:40. And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him. 5:41. And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two. 5:42. Give to him that asketh of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away. 5:43. You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. 5:44. But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: 5:45. That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. 5:46. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this? The publicans.... These were the gatherers of the public taxes: a set of men, odious and infamous among the Jews, for their extortions and injustice. 5:47. And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this? 5:48. Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
