Luke 6
1 Now it happened on the second chief Sabbath that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
And on a sabbath it occurred, as Jesus walked among the tilled grounds, that his disciples plucked ears, and rubbed them in their hands and ate.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do ye that, which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
3 Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
Jesus replied, and said to them: Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those with him?
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"
How he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Lord's table, and gave it to those that were with him; which it was not lawful, except for the priests only, to eat?
5 He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
And he said to them: The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
And on another sabbath, he entered a synagogue and taught. And a man was there, whose right hand was withered.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might be able to accuse him.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.
And as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man with a withered hand: Rise and come into the midst of the congregation. And when he came and stood there,
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to destroy it?"
Jesus said to them: I ask you, What is it lawful to do on the sabbath? that which is good? or that which is evil? to save life or to destroy it?
10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.
And he looked upon them all; and then said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand, and it was restored like the other.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
And they were filled with envy; and they conferred one with another, what they should do to Jesus.
12 It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
And in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to God.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
And when the day dawned, he called his disciples, and selected from them twelve, whom he named Legates:
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
Simon whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
15 and Matthew and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot;
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who was called Zelotes,
16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a large crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
And Jesus descended with them, and stood in the plain; and a great company of his disciples, and a multitude of assembled people, from all Judaea, and from Jerusalem and from the seashore of Tyre and Sidon; who came to hear his discourse, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
and they who were afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them all.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
And he lifted his eyes upon his disciples, and said: Blessed are ye poor; for the kingdom of God is yours.
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 ye will be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and repel you, and revile you, and cast out your names as base, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
Rejoice in that day and exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so did their fathers to the prophets.
24 "But woe to you who are rich. For you have received your consolation.
But, woe to you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you that are full; for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for ye will weep and mourn.
26 Woe when all people speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
Woe to you, when men shall speak your praise; for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
And to you who hear, I say: Love your enemies; and do favors to them that hate you;
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
and bless them that curse you; and pray for them that drag you with violence.
29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
To him that smiteth thee on thy cheek, offer the other: and from him that taketh away thy cloak, keep not back thy tunic.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
To every one that asketh of thee, give thou: and from him that taketh thy property, demand it not.
31 And as you would like people to do to you, you also do the same to them.
And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye also to them.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
For, if ye love them that love you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners love those that love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners do the same.
34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
And if ye lend to one from whom ye expect recompense, what goodness is it in you? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive adequate recompense.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
But love ye your enemies, and do them good; and lend ye, and disappoint the hopes of no one: and great will be your reward, and ye will be children of the Highest; for he is kind to the evil, and to the unthankful.
36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37 Do not judge, and you won't be judged. Do not condemn, and you won't be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Judge not, and ye will not be judged: condemn not, and ye will not be condemned: release, and ye will be released.
38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
Give ye, and it will be given to you; in good measure, pressed down, and running over, will they cast into your lap. For, with what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you.
39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
And he spake a similitude to them: Can a blind man lead a blind? Will not both fall into the ditch?
40 A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
No disciple is better than his teacher; for whoever is perfect, will be like his teacher.
41 And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
And why observest thou the straw that is in thy brother's eye, but regardest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Or how canst thou say to thy brothers, My brother, allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; when, lo, the beam that is in thy own eye, thou regardest not. Hypocrite! first cast the beam out thy eye, and then thy vision will be clear to pluck the straw from thy brother's eye.
43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
There is no good tree, that beareth bad fruits; nor a bad tree, that beareth good fruits.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
For every tree is known by its fruits. Do men gather figs from thorn-bushes? So, neither do they pluck grapes from brambles.
45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
A good man, from the good treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out good things: and a bad man, from the bad treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out bad things. For, from the abundance of the heart, the lips speak.
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
And why call ye me, My Lord, my Lord; while ye do not that which I command you?
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show to whom he is like:
48 He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
He is like a man that built a house; and he dug and went deep, and laid the foundations on a rock: and when a flood occurred, the flood rushed upon that house, and could not move it, for its foundation rested on a rock.
49 But he who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built his house upon the earth, without a foundation; and when the torrent rushed upon it, it fell immediately, and the ruin of that house was great.
