Luke 6
1 And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, that he was passing along through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the ears of corn, rubbing them with their hands.
Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 But, certain of the Pharisees, said—Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?
But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
3 And, making answer unto them, Jesus said—Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him—
Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4 How he entered into the house of God, and, the presence-bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests?
how he entered into God’s house, 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?”
5 And he was saying to them—The Son of Man is, Lord of the Sabbath.
He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
6 And it came to pass, on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and was teaching, and there was a man there, and, his right hand, was withered.
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.
7 Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, —that they might find whereof to accuse him.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But, he, knew their reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand—Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward.
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.
9 And Jesus said unto them—I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, —life, to save, or, to destroy.
Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
10 And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him—Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
11 But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass, in these days, that he went forth into the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in the prayer-house of God.

13 And, when it became day, he called his disciples, and chose from them, twelve, whom also he named, Apostles, —

16 and Judas Iscariot, who became betrayer; —

17 and, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, —and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases;
He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 and, they who were molested by impure spirits, were being cured;
as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
19 and, all the multitude, were seeking to touch him, because, power, from him, was coming forth, and healing all.
All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
20 And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: —Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God.
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
21 Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:
Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23 be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24 But alas! for you, ye wealthy, for ye are duly receiving you consolation.
“But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
25 Alas! for you, ye who are filled full now, for ye shall hunger. Alas! ye that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.
Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 But, unto you, I say, who are hearkening: Be loving your enemies; be doing, good, unto them that hate you;
“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Be blessing them that curse you; be praying for them that wantonly insult you.

29 To him who is smiting thee upon the one cheek, be offering, the other also; and, from him who is taking away thy mantle, thy tunic also, do not forbid:
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.
30 To every one asking thee, give, and, from him that taketh away thy possessions, ask them not back.
Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 And, according as ye desire that men be doing unto you, be ye doing unto them, in like manner.
“As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
32 And, if ye love them that love you, what sort of thanks are there for you? for, even sinners, love, such as love them.
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 [For], if ye even do good unto them that do good unto you, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, the same, are doing.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And, if ye lend to them from whom ye are hoping to receive, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, unto sinners, do lend, that they may receive back, as much.
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.

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 towards the unthankful and evil.
36 Become ye compassionate, according as, your Father, is, compassionate;
“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 And do not judge, and in nowise shall ye be judged; and do not condemn, and in nowise shall ye be condemned; release, and ye shall be released;

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they give into your lap; for, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured back unto you.
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

41 But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
42 How canst thou say to thy brother—Brother! let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, —thyself, the beam in thine own eye, not beholding? Hypocrite! cast out, first, the beam out of thine own eye, and, then, shalt thou see clearly, to cast out, the mote that is in the eye of thy brother.
Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
43 For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless tree, produce good fruit.
“For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
44 For, every tree, by its own fruit, becometh known. For not, of thorns, do they gather figs, neither, of a bramble-bush, do they gather, a bunch of grapes.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and, the wicked man, out of the wicked heart, bringeth forth that which is wicked; for, out of an overflowing of heart, speaketh, his mouth.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
47 Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, whom he is like:
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.
48 He is like unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, —and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.
He is like a man 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 was founded on the rock.
49 But, he that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, —against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.
But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man 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.”
