Luke 6
1 One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
And it came to pass on the second first sabbath, that as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?
3 Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they that were with him:
4 He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of proposition, and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?
5 Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And there was a man, whose right hand was withered.
7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
But he knew their thoughts; and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy?
10 And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.
11 But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
And they were filled with madness; and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus.
12 In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.
13 When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles).
14 Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.
17 Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon,
18 They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured.
19 The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.
20 Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
Be glad in that day and rejoice; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you.
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you.
29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
Give to every one that asketh thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also do this.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? for sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much.
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil.
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.
38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.
39 Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master.
41 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
And why seest thou the mote in thy brother’s eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?
42 How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother’s eye.
43 No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.
45 The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
46 Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?
47 I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and it could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.
49 But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
But he that heareth, and doth not, is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
