Default List of Jesus' commandments?

Can anybody point me to a compendium list of Jesus' commandments?

AFAIK, they include:

Don't get rich.
Don't pray in public.
Turn the other cheek.
Give more property to people who steal from you.
Give away your stuff and follow me.
Love your neighbor.
Pay your taxes (Render to Caesar...).
Pay your laborers inequitably.
Don't beat your slaves too severely so they die immediately.


TIA,
Jim

Would you include what Paul claims Jesus said?
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.(1 Corinthians 7:10-11, KJV)

How about the original:
Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Mark 10:11-12)

Could you point us, please, to the Gospel text(s) which present Jesus saying these particular words?

It is supposed to be a later interpolation, but Mark 16:16 seems to come close.

I don't want passages containing words that "seem to come close" to what the aa man said Jesus said. I want the passage in which we find the particular words that aa what's his name said Jesus said.

I'd also be interested to know how in the light of Lk 22.3 (and the set up and outcome of Mk. 12:13-17) Jesus words to his opponents (who, with their tax question, are implementing a plot the've come up with to destroy Jesus to "give back (ἀπόδοτε) to Caesar what is Caesar's, but give to God what is God's" can be legitimately interpreted as a command of Jesus to his followers to "pay your taxes"?

I think Mark 16:16 comes close enough, if inauthentic. Belief in Jesus was generally interpreted as adherence to Jesus, as it is today. The actual Jesus apparently never made such a command. He didn't equate himself with God. As for your question about paying taxes, I don't see how one can interpret it any other way.

Luke certainly did and obviously intended his readers to do so as well.
