Luke 6
1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he was going through grain-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of grain, and ate them, rubbing them with their hands.
And it was don in the secounde firste sabat, whanne he passid bi cornes, hise disciplis pluckiden eeris of corn; and thei frotynge with her hondis, eeten.
2 And some of the Pharisees said, Why are ye doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
And summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
3 And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not even read what David did, when he was himself hungry, and they who were with him?
And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not redde, what Dauith dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym;
4 how he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave it also to those who were with him, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone?
hou he entride in to the hous of God, and took looues of proposicioun, and eet, and yaf to hem that weren with hem; whiche looues it was not leeueful to eete, but oonli to prestis.
5 And he said to them, The Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
And he seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
6 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
And it was don in another sabat, that he entride in to a synagoge, and tauyte. And a man was there, and his riyt hoond was drie.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
And the scribis and Farisees aspieden hym, if he wolde heele hym in the sabat, that thei schulden fynde cause, whereof thei schulden accuse hym.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man having the withered hand, Rise, and stand up in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.
And he wiste the thouytis of hem, and he seide to the man that hadde a drie hoond, Rise vp, and stonde in to the myddil. And he roos, and stood.
9 And Jesus said to them, I ask you whether it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kill?
And Jhesus seide to hem, Y axe you, if it is leueful to do wel in the sabat, or yuel? to make a soule saaf, or to leese?
10 And looking round on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored.
And whanne he hadde biholde alle men aboute, he seide to the man, Hold forth thin hoond. And he held forth, and his hond was restorid to helthe.
11 But they were filled with madness, and conferred with one another as to what they should do to Jesus.
And thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
And it was don in tho daies, he wente out in to an hil to preye; and he was al nyyt dwellynge in the preier of God.
13 And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles;
And whanne the day was come, he clepide hise disciplis, and chees twelue of hem, whiche he clepide also apostlis;
14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
15 and Matthew and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the zealot,
Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
17 And he came down with them, and stood on a level place with a great multitude of his disciples, and a great crowd of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.
And Jhesus cam doun fro the hil with hem, and stood in a feeldi place; and the cumpeny of hise disciplis, and a greet multitude of puple, of al Judee, and Jerusalem, and of the see coostis, and of Tyre and Sidon,
18 And they that were harassed with unclean spirits were cured.
that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him, because power went out of him and healed all.
And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
20 And raising his eyes toward his disciples, he said, Blessed are ye poor; for yours is the kingdom of God.
And whanne hise iyen weren cast vp in to hise disciplis, he seide, Blessid be ye, `pore men, for the kyngdom of God is youre.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye will be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.
Blessid be ye, that now hungren, for ye schulen be fulfillid. Blessid be ye, that now wepen, for ye schulen leiye.
22 Blessed are ye when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man.
Ye schulen be blessid, whanne men schulen hate you, and departe you awei, and putte schenschip to you, and cast out youre name as yuel, for mannus sone.
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for lo! your reward is great in heaven; for thus their fathers did to the prophets.
Joye ye in that dai, and be ye glad; for lo! youre meede is myche in heuene; for aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to prophetis.
24 But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
25 Woe to you that are full now! for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye will mourn and weep.
Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
26 Woe, when all men speak well of you! for so did their fathers of the false prophets.
Wo to you, whanne alle men schulen blesse you; aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to profetis.
27 But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;
But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;
28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who are spiteful to you.
blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
29 To him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
And to him that smytith thee on o cheeke, schewe also the tothir; and fro hym that takith awei fro thee a cloth, nyle thou forbede the coote.
30 Give to every one that asketh of thee; and from him that taketh away thy goods, demand them not again.
And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also in like manner to them.
And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
32 And if ye love those who love you, what thanks do ye deserve? for sinners also love those who love them.
And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.
33 For if ye do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners do the same.
And if ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.
34 And if ye lend to those from whom ye expect to receive, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.
And if ye leenen to hem of whiche ye hopen to take ayen, what thanke is to you? for synful men leenen to synful men, to take ayen as myche.
35 But love your enemies, and do good and lend, despairing of no one; and your reward will be great, and ye will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the unthankful and wicked.
Netheles loue ye youre enemyes, and do ye wel, and leene ye, hopinge no thing therof, and youre mede schal be myche, and ye schulen be the sones of the Heyest, for he is benygne on vnkynde men and yuele men.
36 Be merciful, as your Father is merciful.
Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
37 And judge not, and ye will not be judged; and condemn not, and ye will not be condemned; forgive, and ye will be forgiven;
Nyle ye deme, and ye schulen not be demed. Nyle ye condempne, and ye schulen not be condempned; foryyue ye, and it schal be foryouun to you.
38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will men give into your bosom; for with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you in return.
Yyue ye, and it schal be youun to you. Thei schulen yyue in to youre bosum a good mesure, and wel fillid, and schakun togidir, and ouerflowynge; for bi the same mesure, bi whiche ye meeten, it schal be metun `ayen to you.
39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher; but every one when fully instructed will be as his teacher.
A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
41 And why dost thou look at the mote in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam that is in thine own eye?
And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?
42 How canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me take out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Or hou maist thou seie to thi brother, Brothir, suffre, Y schal caste out the moot of thin iye, and thou biholdist not a beem in thin owne iye? Ipocrite, first take out the beem of thin iye, and thanne thou schalt se to take the moot of thi brotheris iye.
43 For there is no good tree that beareth bad fruit; and again, there is no bad tree that beareth good fruit.
It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit; for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble-bush do they gather grapes.
for euery tre is knowun of his fruyt. And men gaderen not figus of thornes, nethir men gaderen a grape of a buysche of breris.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.
A good man of the good tresoure of his herte bryngith forth good thingis, and an yuel man of the yuel tresoure bryngith forth yuel thingis; for of the plente of the herte the mouth spekith.
46 But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
And what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
47 Every one that cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them, I will show you whom he is like.
Eche that cometh to me, and herith my wordis, and doith hem, Y schal schewe to you, to whom he is lijk.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream dashed against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built.
He is lijk to a man that bildith an hous, that diggide deepe, and sette the foundement on a stoon. And whanne greet flood was maad, the flood was hurtlid to that hous, and it miyte not moue it, for it was foundid on a sad stoon.
49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream dashed, and it fell at once, and the ruin of that house was great.
But he that herith, and doith not, is lijk to a man bildynge his hous on erthe with outen foundement; in to which the flood was hurlid, and anoon it felle doun; and the fallyng doun of that hous was maad greet.
