Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Take heed that yee doe not your almes before men, to bee seene of them: otherwise yee haue no reward of your father which is in heauen.

² Therefore, when thou doest thine almes, doe not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites doe, in the Synagogues, and in the streetes, that they may haue glory of men. Uerily, I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

³ But when thou doest almes, let not thy left hand know, what thy right doeth:

⁴ That thine almes may be in secret: And thy father which seeth in secret, himselfe shall reward thee openly.

⁵ ¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they loue to pray standing in the Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seene of men. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

⁶ But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy doore, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

⁷ But when yee pray, vse not vaine repetitions, as the heathen doe. For they thinke that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

⁸ Be not yee therefore like vnto them: For your father knoweth what things yee haue neede of, before yee aske him.

⁹ After this maner therefore pray yee: Our father which art in heauen, hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰ Thy kingdome come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heauen.

¹¹ Giue vs this day our daily bread.

¹² And forgiue vs our debts, as we forgiue our debters.

¹³ And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.

¹⁴ For, if yee forgiue men their trespasses, your heauenly father will also forgiue you.

¹⁵ But, if yee forgiue not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgiue your trespasses.

¹⁶ ¶ Moreouer, when yee fast, be not as the Hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appeare vnto men to fast: Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

¹⁷ But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face:

¹⁸ That thou appeare not vnto men to fast, but vnto thy father which is in secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

¹⁹ ¶ Lay not vp for your selues treasures vpon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where theeues breake thorow, and steale.

²⁰ But lay vp for your selues treasures in heauen, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, & where theeues doe not breake thorow, nor steale.

²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

²² The light of the body is the eye: If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shalbe full of light.

²³ But if thine eye be euill, thy whole body shall be full of darknesse. If therfore the light that is in thee be darkenesse, how great is that darkenesse?

²⁴ ¶ No man can serue two masters: for either he will hate the one and loue the other, or else hee will holde to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serue God and Mammon.

²⁵ Therfore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, nor yet for your body, what yee shall put on: Is not the life more then meate? and the body then raiment?

²⁶ Behold the foules of the aire: for they sow not, neither do they reape, nor gather into barnes, yet your heauenly father feedeth them. Are yee not much better then they?

²⁷ Which of you by taking thought, can adde one cubite vnto his stature?

²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow: they toile not, neither doe they spinne.

²⁹ And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these.

³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: shall he not much more clothe you, O yee of little faith?

³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? or, what shall we drinke? or wherewithall shall wee be clothed?

³² (For after all these things doe the Gentiles seeke:) for your heauenly father knoweth that ye haue neede of all these things.

³³ But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and his righteousnesse, and all these things shalbe added vnto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of it selfe: sufficient vnto the day is the euill thereof.

God knows what we need before we ask for it.

Nina Witney's Matthew Chapter 6 comment about verse 33 on 5/17/2013, 2:45pm...

Without God coming first in our lives we cannot please him.God is our source for every need in our lives.He will supply all your needs when you truly walk with him in spirit and ask him daily to direct your path, everything else is will fall into place when you live only to serve him in heart and soul.

Mike's Matthew Chapter 6 comment on 5/16/2013, 6:59am...

It is amazing to me(after 39 years of being saved by GOD'S GRACE)the lengths that people will go to overstretch a passage. This has NOTHING to do with tongues. It is the DIVINE LOVE & preeminent nature of OUR MIGHTY GOD to care for our "needs"through our submission to HIS WILL. "AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE".

Deecarrarar's Matthew Chapter 6 comment about verse 8 on 5/11/2013, 3:51pm...

I believe 1Corinthians 14:2..."For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not unto men but unto God."
Until 1Corinthians 13:8-10 is fulfilled, I believe we can safely pray the will of God by using a prayer language that our carnal mind doesn't/can't interfere with. Our carnal words limit what we say to God, so our wants and our will are always in the way. As long as we are "thinking," those thoughts get in the way of Gods spirit speaking to our spirit. I find that after I speak my prayers in English, I use my prayer language to let the Spirit lead me, talk to me, and I know His Will will be done....Because He already knows what I need, I need to be able to HEAR it. God prepares our hearts, through His spirit, to accept the things we need. No expectations that are amiss and no disappointments.

Madeya's Matthew Chapter 6 comment on 5/07/2013, 2:58am...

verse 33,
its all about what i am in the Kingdom,how i dedicate myself to God my King,do i care that He is everything in my life? Do i put in my mind that He is the Master planner of everything i do? i should preach the word in season or out of season for the Name of Jehovah to be exalted in me and other who do His will all time

This chapter takes an individual from infant spiritually to maturity in spirit.

AYODELE's Matthew Chapter 6 comment about verse 33 on 5/04/2013, 12:29pm...

that is the major assignment of man on earth

Darnell's Matthew Chapter 6 comment on 4/24/2013, 3:53pm...

Matthew 6;10 Thy Kingdom is here and now. His will is complete. Be on earth like it is heaven. Treat people right and you will be treated right. Follow him without fear and he will protect you. Because you are in heaven with power forever. This is how to be a man
