3 And having answered them, Jesus said, Have ye not read even this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
And, making answer unto them, Jesus said—Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him—
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the loaves of the presentation, and also gave to those who were with him, which is not permitted to eat, except the priests alone?

And he was saying to them—The Son of Man is, Lord of the Sabbath.
6 And it also came to pass on another sabbath for him to enter into the synagogue and teach. And a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
And it came to pass, on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and was teaching, and there was a man there, and, his right hand, was withered.
7 And the scholars and the Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.
Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, —that they might find whereof to accuse him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.
But, he, knew their reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand—Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward.
9 Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill?
And Jesus said unto them—I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, —life, to save, or, to destroy.
10 And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him—Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.
11 But they were filled with fury, and deliberated with each other what they might do to Jesus.
But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.
12 And he happened in these days to go out onto the mountain to pray, and he was continuing all night in prayer to God.

and, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, —and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases;
18 also those who were afflicted with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19 And all the multitude sought to touch him, because power came forth from him, and healed them all.
and, all the multitude, were seeking to touch him, because, power, from him, was coming forth, and healing all.
20 And having lifted up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God is what belongs to you.
And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: —Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are those who hunger now, because ye will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, because ye will laugh.
Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men will hate you, and when they will exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, because of the Son of man.
Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did in the same way to the prophets.
be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.

Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.
27 But I say to you, to those who hear, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
But, unto you, I say, who are hearkening: Be loving your enemies; be doing, good, unto them that hate you;
28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
Be blessing them that curse you; be praying for them that wantonly insult you.
29 To him who strikes thee on the cheek offer the other also, and from him who takes away thy cloak, also do not withhold thy coat.
To him who is smiting thee upon the one cheek, be offering, the other also; and, from him who is taking away thy mantle, thy tunic also, do not forbid:
30 Give to every man who asks thee, and from him who takes away thy personal things do not demand them back.
To every one asking thee, give, and, from him that taketh away thy possessions, ask them not back.
31 And as ye desire that men would do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
And, according as ye desire that men be doing unto you, be ye doing unto them, in like manner.
32 And if ye love those who love you, what credit is for you? For even sinners love those who love them.
And, if ye love them that love you, what sort of thanks are there for you? for, even sinners, love, such as love them.
33 And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what credit is for you? For even sinners do the same.
[For], if ye even do good unto them that do good unto you, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, the same, are doing.
34 And if ye lend to whom ye hope to receive, what credit is for you? For even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
And, if ye lend to them from whom ye are hoping to receive, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, unto sinners, do lend, that they may receive back, as much.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, despairing nothing, and your reward will be great. And ye will be sons of the Most High, because he is good toward the ungrateful and bad.
But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for, nothing, back; and your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High, —for, he, is, gracious, unto the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Become ye therefore merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Become ye compassionate, according as, your Father, is, compassionate;
37 And do not criticize, and ye will, no, not be criticized. And do not condemn, and ye will, no, not be condemned. Forgive, and ye will be forgiven.
And do not judge, and in nowise shall ye be judged; and do not condemn, and in nowise shall ye be condemned; release, and ye shall be released;
38 Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with the same measure with which ye measure, it will be measured again to you.

39 And he spoke a parable to them. Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch?

41 And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
42 Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck in thy brother's eye.
How canst thou say to thy brother—Brother! let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, —thyself, the beam in thine own eye, not beholding? Hypocrite! cast out, first, the beam out of thine own eye, and, then, shalt thou see clearly, to cast out, the mote that is in the eye of thy brother.
43 For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.
For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless tree, produce good fruit.
44 For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush.
For, every tree, by its own fruit, becometh known. For not, of thorns, do they gather figs, neither, of a bramble-bush, do they gather, a bunch of grapes.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good, and the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart brings forth the bad, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and, the wicked man, out of the wicked heart, bringeth forth that which is wicked; for, out of an overflowing of heart, speaketh, his mouth.
46 And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things that I say?
And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?
47 Every man who comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.
Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, whom he is like:
48 He is like a man who builds a house, who dug and excavated, and laid a foundation upon the rock. And when a flood developed, the stream beat upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.
He is like unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, —and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.
49 But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
But, he that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, —against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.
