The 110 Commandments of Jesus

Jesus isn't known for his commandments. Many people, in fact, think that he came to do away with the all of the Bible's commandments, even though Jesus himself denied this in Matthew 5:17-20.

He did have quite a few of his own to add, though. Here are the ones that I've found so far. (They are commandments 833-942 in the Every Jot and Tittle list.)

  1. Hear the words of Jesus.
  2. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. Mark 4:23

  3. Listen carefully. The more carefully you listen, the more you will hear.
  4. Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. Mark 4:24

  5. Let everyone see your good works.
  6. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works. Matthew 5:16

    Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.. 1 Peter 2:12

    In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works. Titus 2:7

  7. When you help the poor, don't let anyone see you do it.
  8. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:1-4

  9. Don't think Jesus came to destroy the law.
  10. Think not that I am come to destroy the law. Matthew 5:17

  11. Don't call your brother "Raca".
  12. Whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. Matthew 5:22

  13. Don't call anyone a fool.
  14. Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:22

  15. Make up with your brother before leaving a gift at the altar.
  16. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Matthew 5:23-24

  17. Agree with your adversary quickly, before you are thrown into prison.

  18. (You won't get out of prison until you've paid the last penny.)
    Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:25-26

    When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. Luke 12:58-59

  19. Don't look at a woman with lust.
  20. (If you do, you've already committed adultery with her.)
    Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28

  21. If your right eye offends you, pluck it out.
  22. If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:29

    If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Matthew 18:9

    If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:47-48

  23. If your right hand (or foot) offends you, cut it off.
  24. If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:30

    If thy hand or foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. Matthew 18:8

    And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:43-44

    And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:45-46

  25. Don't divorce your wife (unless she has fornicated).

  28. (If you divorce her, you both commit adultery.)

  29. Don't marry a divorced woman.
  30. (If you do, you are committing adultery.)
    Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:32

  32. I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matthew 5:34-37

    Above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. James 5:12

  33. Don't resist evil.
  34. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Matthew 5:39

    Unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other. Luke 6:29

  35. If you are sued, give more than you are ask for.
  36. If any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. Matthew 5:40

Matthew 6:5-6

  55. Don't repeat prayers.
  56. When ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:7-8

  57. Pray like this:
  58. (But don't repeat it.)
    Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-24, Mark 10:23-25

Matthew 24:42-51

    Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matthew 25:13

    Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ... Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Mark 13:33-37

    And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
