Matthew 5:39 (November 21, 1903)

[...] There is a noteworthy saying in the New Testament: “Do not resist evil with evil.” (The English translation is of course nonsensical here: Do not resist evil.) And even if the “evil” is not caused by us, it can still be brought about by us.

Matthew 6:9-13 (The Gothic Lord's Prayer by Wulfila) NB Ita Wegman No. C (May 15, 1921)

We feel you above in spiritual heights, All-Father of mankind.

Hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.

Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

All-Father, whose name forms the outer physicality of the spirit.

whose dominion we want to acknowledge, whose will shall be done

You shall also permeate the earthly, so that we may see our bodies reborn daily, as it were, through earthly nourishment

That we may not become debtors to one another in social life, that we may face each other as equals

That we may not fall into the physical with the spiritual:

Let us not fall into that which brings our spirit into darkness from our body:

But deliver us from the evils that arise when we fall too strongly with the spirit into the physical.

Yours is the claim to dominion, yours is the right to power, yours is the revelation as light, as splendor, as all-ruling social love.
That we connect the Trinity of earthly social life to the supernatural, for the supernatural shall reign, shall be emperor and king. Not the sensual, not the personal on earth, but the supernatural shall reign.

Matthew 6:9-13 See GA 325

Matthew 8:16

But when it was late, many who were possessed were brought to him, and he cast out the spirits with the word (λόγῳ) and healed all who were ill.

But when it was late, they brought him many who were possessed, and he drove out the spirits by the word (λόγῳ) and healed all from evils who were ill.

Matthew 10:34

(October 26, 1909)¹

Christ says: Matthew 10:34: “I did not come to bring peace to the earth, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” “I have come to earth to cast discord from the earth.” - That is what the passage says. And what does it say at this point? Read it for yourself: I have come to earth not to bring peace, but the sword. One can really be struck by such a false, distorted translation.

Matthew 10:34 See GA 123

Matthew 24:27

For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
