One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

‘Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?’ asked some of the Pharisees.

Jesus’ answer was, ‘Haven’t you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions –

That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?’
Then Jesus added, ‘The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.’

On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.

Jesus, however, knew what was in their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, ‘Stand up and come out into the middle.’ The man stood up,

and Jesus said to them, ‘I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?’

Then, looking round at them all, he said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭ ⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲣⲱⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named “apostles.”
They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

Afterwards Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,
who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;

and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.

Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and insult you, and reject your name as an evil thing – because of the Son of Man.

Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
But alas for you who are rich, for you have had your comforts in full.

Alas for you when everyone speaks well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
But to you who hear I say – love your enemies, show kindness to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who insult you.

When someone gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when anyone takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and, when anyone takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.
Do to others as you wish them to do to you.

But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
Learn to be merciful – even as your Father is merciful.

How can you say to your friend “Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,” while you yourself do not see the plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the speck in your friend’s.

A good person, from the good stores of their heart, brings out what is good; while a bad person, from their bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills someone’s heart will rise to their lips.
