Luke 6
1 And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, as He is going through the grainfields, that His disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,
And it came to pass on the second-sabbath after the first, that as He was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and ate them.
2 and certain of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?”
And some of the pharisees said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?
3 And Jesus answering said to them, “Did you not read even this that David did when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,
4 how he went into the house of God, and took the Bread of the Presentation, and ate, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?”
and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.
5 And He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.”
And He said unto them, the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also, on another Sabbath, that He goes into the synagogue, and teaches, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that He went into a synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, whose right hand was withered.
7 and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, if on the Sabbath He will heal, that they might find an accusation against Him.
And the scribes and pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 And He Himself had known their reasonings and said to the man having the withered hand, “Rise, and stand in the midst”; and he having risen, stood.
But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man that had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst: and he rose up and stood forth.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will question you something: is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To save life or to kill?”
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing, Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to let it be lost?
10 And having looked around on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch forth your hand”; and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.
11 and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.
And they were filled with confusion: and consulted together, what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, He went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,
And in those days He went out to a mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.
13 and when it became day, He called near His disciples, also having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles:
And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:
14 Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
(to wit, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James,
16 Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer.
and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor: )
17 And having come down with them, He stood on a level spot; and a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
and He came down the hill with them, and stood in the plain; with the rest of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all the parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, [gathered]. And those harassed by unclean spirits [also gathered] and were healed.
even those that were tormented by impure spirits: and they were healed.
19 And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, because power was going forth from Him, and He was healing all.
And all the people endeavoured to touch Him, for there went a divine virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
20 And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, said: “Blessed the poor—because yours is the Kingdom of God.
And lifting up his eyes on his disciples He said, Blessed are ye though poor; for the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Blessed those hungering now—because you will be filled. Blessed those weeping now—because you will laugh.
Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye shall be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are you when men will hate you, and when they will separate you, and will reproach, and will cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake—
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and reject you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as infamous on account of the Son of man.
23 rejoice in that day, and leap, for behold, your reward [is] great in Heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
Rejoice in that day, and be exceeding glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for thus did their fathers to the prophets.
24 But woe to you—the rich, because you have gotten your comfort.
But wo unto you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe to you who have been filled—because you will hunger. Woe to you who are laughing now—because you will mourn and weep.
Wo unto you that are full; for ye shall be hungry. Wo unto you that laugh now: for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when all men will speak well of you—for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
Wo unto you when all men speak well of you; for their fathers did the same to the false prophets.
27 But I say to you who are hearing, love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
But I say unto you my hearers, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 bless those cursing you, pray for those maligning you;
bless them that curse you, and pray for them that abuse you;
29 and to him striking you on the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from you the mantle, also the coat you may not keep back.
to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:
30 And to everyone who is asking of you, be giving; and from him who is taking away your goods, do not be asking again;
give to him that asketh thee, and from him that taketh thy goods on loan demand nothing.
31 and as you wish that men may do to you, do also to them in like manner;
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
32 and—if you love those loving you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful love those loving them;
If ye love only them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even the wicked love those that love them:
33 and if you do good to those doing good to you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful do the same;
and if ye do good offices to them that do good to you, what thanks are due to you? for even wicked men do the same.
34 and if you lend [to those] of whom you hope to receive back, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.
And if ye lend to those from whom ye expect to receive, what thanks are due to you? for sinners also lend to sinners that they may receive an equivalent.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest, because He is kind to the ungracious and evil;
But do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:
36 be therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
be ye therefore merciful as your heavenly Father also is merciful.
37 And do not judge, and you may not be judged; do not condemn, and you may not be condemned; release, and you will be released.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they will give into your bosom; for with that measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you again.”
give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed and shaken down and running over, shall they give into your bosom: for by the same measure, which ye measure with, shall it be measured back again to you.
39 And He spoke an allegory to them, “Is blind able to lead blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
And He said to them by way of parable, Can a blind man guide a blind man? will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone perfected will be as his teacher.
the learner is not above his teacher, tho' every complete scholar will become as learned as his master.
41 And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?
But why dost thou look at the chaff in thy brother's eye, and takest no notice of the beam that is in thine own?
42 Or how are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother let me take out the splinter that is in thine eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wilt see distinctly how to take out the chaff that is in thy brother's eye.
43 For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;
For that is not a good tree which produceth bad fruit, nor is the tree bad, which produceth good fruit:
44 for each tree is known from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape from a bramble.
for every tree is known by it's fruit; for men do not gather figs from thorns, nor grapes from a bramble.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his 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 of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
But why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not practise what I teach you?
47 Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:
Whosoever cometh unto me, and heareth my instructions, and observeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 he is like to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
he is like a man who in building an house digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood came, the torrent beat violently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded upon a rock.
49 And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
But he that heareth and observeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the ground without any foundation, which the flood beat violently upon, and immediately it fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.
