The Diatessaron (Section 10)

[1] [Arabic, p. 38] Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters; and that because it is necessary that he hate one of them and love the other, and honour one of them and despise the [2] other. Matthew 6:25 You cannot serve God and possessions. And because of this I say unto you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat and what you shall drink; neither for your bodies, what you shall put on. Is not the life better than the food, and the body [3] than the raiment? Matthew 6:26 Consider the birds of the heaven, which sow not, nor reap, nor store in barns; and yet your Father which is in heaven feeds them. Are not ye [4] better than they? Matthew 6:27 Who of you when he tries is able to add to his stature one [5] cubit? Luke 12:26 If then you are not able for a small thing, why are you anxious about the [6, 7] rest? Matthew 6:28 Consider the wild lily, how it grows, although it toils not, nor spins; Matthew 6:29 and I say unto you that Solomon in the greatness of his glory was not clothed like one of [8] them. Matthew 6:30 And if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow [9] is cast into the oven, how much more shall be unto you, O you of little faith! Matthew 6:31 Be not anxious, so as to say, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With [10] what shall we be clothed? Luke 12:29b Neither let your minds be perplexed in this: Matthew 6:32 all these things the nations of the world seek; and your Father which is in heaven knows [11] your need of all these things. Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; [12] [Arabic, p. 39] and all these shall come to you as something additional for you. Matthew 6:34 Be not anxious for the morrow; for the morrow shall be anxious for what belongs to it. Sufficient unto the day is its evil.

[13] Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged: Luke 6:37b condemn not, that you be not condemned: [14] Luke 6:38 forgive, and it shall be forgiven you: release, and you shall be released: give, that you may be given unto; with good measure, abundant, full, they shall thrust into your [15] bosoms. Mark 4:24b With what measure ye measure it shall be measured to you. See to it what ye hear: with what measure ye measure it shall be measured to you; and you [16] shall be given more. Mark 4:25 I say unto those that hear, He that has shall be given unto; and he that has not, that which he regards as his shall be taken from him.

[17] Luke 6:39 And he spoke unto them a parable, Can a blind man haply guide a blind man? [18] shall they not both fall into a hollow? Luke 6:40 A disciple is not better than his master; [19] every perfect man shall be as his master. Luke 6:41 Why do you look at the mote which is in the eye of your brother, but considerest not the column that is in your own eye? [20] Luke 6:42 Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, I will take out the mote from your eye; and the column which is in your eye you see not? You hypocrite, take out first the column from your eye; and then shall you see to take out the mote from the eye of your brother.

[21] Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and return and wound you.

[22] Luke 11:5 And he said unto them, Who of you, that has a friend, goes to him at midnight, [23] and says unto him, My friend, lend me three loaves; Luke 11:6 for a friend has come [24] to me from a journey, and I have nothing to offer to him: Luke 11:7 and that friend shall [Arabic, p. 40] answer him from within, and say unto him, Trouble me not; for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed, and I cannot rise and give you? [25] Luke 11:8 And verily I say unto you, If he will not give him because of friendship, yet because [26] of his importunity he will rise and give him what he seeks. Luke 11:9 And I also say unto you, Ask, and you shall be given unto; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be [27] opened unto you. Luke 11:10 Every one that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and [28] he that knocks, it shall be opened to him. Luke 11:11 What father of you, shall his son ask for bread— will he, think you, give him a stone? and if he ask of him a fish, will he, [29] think you, Luke 11:12 instead of the fish give him a serpent? And if he ask him for an egg, will [30] he, think you, extend to him a scorpion? Luke 11:13 If you then, although being evil, know the gifts which are good, and give them to your children, how much more shall your [31] Father which is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Matthew 7:12 Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: this is the law and the prophets.

[32] Matthew 7:13 Enter ye by the narrow gate; for the wide gate and the broad way lead to destruction, [33] and many they be which go therein. Matthew 7:14 How narrow is the gate and straitened the way leading to life! and few be they that find it.

[34] Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, while within [35] they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:16a But by their fruits you shall know them. Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by its fruit. For figs are not gathered of thorns, neither are grapes plucked of [36] briers. Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit, but the evil tree brings [37] [Arabic, p. 41] forth evil fruit. Matthew 7:18 The good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can the [38] evil tree bring forth good fruit. Luke 6:45 The good man from the good treasures that are in his heart brings forth good things; and the evil man from the evil treasures that are in his heart brings forth evil things: and from the overflowings of the [39] heart the lips speak. Matthew 7:19 Every tree that bears not good fruit is cut down and cast [40, 41] into the fire. Matthew 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. Matthew 7:21 Not all that say unto me, My Lord, my Lord, shall enter the kingdom of the heavens; but he that does [42] the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:22 Many shall say unto me in that day, My Lord, my Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out [43] devils, and in your name do many powers? Matthew 7:23 Then shall I say unto them, I never [44] knew you: depart from me, you servants of iniquity. Luke 6:47 Every man that comes unto [45] me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to what he is like: Luke 6:48 he is like the wise man which built a house, and dug and went deep, and laid the [46] foundations on a rock: Matthew 7:25 and the rain came down, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and shook that house, and it fell not: for its foundation was laid on [47] rocks. Matthew 7:26 And every one that hears these my words, and does them not, is like [48] the foolish man which built his house on sand, without foundation: Matthew 7:27 and the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house, and it fell: and the fall of it was great.
