But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

…or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

“Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.

“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have placed a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
