< Luke 6 >
1 One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϭⲱⲛϭ̅ ⲛⲛ̅ϩⲙⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲉϩⲥⲱϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ
2 ‘Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?’ asked some of the Pharisees.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲓ̈ⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉϣϣⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.
3 Jesus’ answer was, ‘Haven’t you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions –

4 That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?’

5 Then Jesus added, ‘The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.’
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ·
6 On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛϥ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ϣⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ.
7 The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥ(ⲁ)ⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ
8 Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, ‘Stand up and come out into the middle.’ The man stood up;
ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϣⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ. ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅.
9 and Jesus said to them, ‘I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?’
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲛⲉⲧⲏⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϩⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϫⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟⲥ.
10 Then, looking round at them all, he said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
ⲓ̅ⲁϥⲕⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲗⲟ.
11 But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.

12 Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.

13 When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named “apostles.”

14 They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

17 Afterwards Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,

18 who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;

19 and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.

20 Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and insult you, and reject your name as an evil thing – because of the Son of Man.

23 Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
