The Turker’s Gospel

The Bible According To Mechanical Turk Workers

Matthew 5:31-40

5:31 - They say, Whoever no longer wants his wife should give her divorce papers.

5:32 - But I tell you, That anyone who sends his wife away for any reason other than fornication, makes her become an adulterer, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

5:33 - One must obey thy oaths at all times.

5:34 - However, I tell you, don’t make a vow; not by heaven; since it is the throne of God.

5:35 - Neither by the earth; because this is where he rests his feet: neither by Jerusalem; since this is the King’s city.

5:36 - You should also not swear by your head, because you can’t even change the color of your hair.

5:37 - But let your communication yawning; for what’s over is more than these comets of evil.

5:38 - You have heard the sating that goes An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

5:39 - I am telling you to be passive in the face of evil: that if someone does you wrong, forgive him as though nothing has happened.

5:40 - If any man wants to sue me, and take my possessions, let him have my possessions.
