Luke 12
1 In these [times] when were gathering the myriads of the crowd so as to trample upon one another He began to say to the disciples of Him first; do take heed to yourselves of the leaven which is hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
In the mean time great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,
2 No [thing] now concealed is which not will be revealed, nor hidden which not will be known.
which shall not be discovered; nor hidden which shall not be known.
3 Instead that as much as in the darkness you have said in the light will be heard, and what into the ear you have spoken in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Therefore whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.
4 I say now to you those friends of Mine; not you may fear because of those killing the body and after these things not being able more excessive anything to do.
Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
5 I will show however you whom you may fear: do fear the [One who] after the killing has authority to cast into hell. Yes I say to you; Him do fear. (Geenna g1067)
But I will shew you whom ye should fear, ---Fear Him, who after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Surely five sparrows (are being sold for *N(k)O*) assarion two? And one of them not is forgotten before God;
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaries, and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 But even the hairs of the head of you all have been numbered. Not (therefore *K*) do fear; than many sparrows you are more valuable.
Nay the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Be not therefore afraid; ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
8 I say now to you; everyone who maybe (may confess *NK(o)*) in Me myself before the men, also the Son of Man will confess in him before the angels of God;
But I say unto you, Whosoever shall own me before men, the Son of man will also own him before the angels of God.
9 the [one] now having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
But he, that disowneth me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 And everyone who will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him; to the [one] however [who] against the Holy Spirit having blasphemed not will be forgiven.
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.
11 When then (they may bring in *N(k)O*) you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, not (may be anxious *N(k)O*) how or what you may present a defense or what you may say;
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to say:
12 the for Holy Spirit will teach you in same the hour what it behooves [you] to say.
for the holy Spirit shall teach you at that very time what ye ought to say.
13 Said then one from the crowd to Him: Teacher, do say to the brother of mine to divide with me the inheritance.
And one among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,
14 And He said to him; Man, who Me appointed (a judge *N(k)O*) or partitioner over you?
Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?
15 He said then to them; do watch and do keep yourselves from (all *N(k)O*) covetousness, for not in the abounding to anyone the life (to him *NK(o)*) is of the possessions (of him. *N(k)O*)
And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.
16 He spoke then a parable to them saying; Of a man certain rich brought forth abundantly the ground.
And He spake a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he was reasoning within himself saying; What shall I do for not I have where I will store up the fruits of mine?
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not room to lay up my corn.
18 And he said; This will I do: I will tear down my barns and greater will build and will store up there all (the grain *N(k)O*) (of mine *k*) and the goods of mine
And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products and my goods.
19 And I will say to the soul of mine; Soul, you have many good things laid up for years many. do rest yourself do eat, do drink, do be merry.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast plenty of goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Said then to him God; Fool! On this night the soul of you (is required *NK(o)*) of you. what now you did prepare — to whom will [it] be?
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 So [is] the [one] treasuring up for himself and not toward God being rich.
So is he that heapeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 He said then to the disciples of Him; Because of this I say to you: not do be anxious for the life (of you *k*) what you may eat, nor [be anxious] for the body (of you *o*) what you may put on.
And He said to his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:
23 The (for *no*) life more is than the food, and the body than the clothing.
the life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24 do consider the ravens that not they sow nor they reap to them not there is a storehouse nor [is] barn — and God feeds them; How much more you yourselves are valuable than the birds?
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?
25 Which now of you being anxious is able to the lifespan of him to add hour (one? *ko*)
And which of you by all his thought can add one moment to his life?
26 If then (not even *N(k)O*) [the] least you are able [to do], why about the rest are you anxious?
If then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so anxious about the rest?
27 do consider the lilies how they grow: Not do they labor nor do they spin. I say however to you; not even Solomon in all the glory of him was arrayed as one of these.
Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If however in [the] (*ko*) field the grass being [here] today and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown God thus (dresses, *N(k)O*) how much more you, O [you] of little faith?
Now if God so clothe the grass which is to day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And you yourselves not do seek what you may eat (and *N(k)O*) what you may drink, and not do worry yourself.
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; neither be ye in careful suspense:
30 these things for all the nations of the world (seek for; *N(k)O*) of you now the Father knows that you have need of these.
for all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But do seek the kingdom (*k*) (of Him *N(K)O*) and these things (all things *K*) will be added to you.
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God, and all these shall be super-added unto you.
32 Not do fear, O little flock, for took delight the Father of you to give you the kingdom.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 do sell the possessions of you and do give alms; do make to yourselves purses not growing old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens where thief not does draw near nor moth destroy;
Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief approacheth nor moth corrupteth:
34 Where for is the treasure of you, there also the heart of you will be.
for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 should be your waist girded and the lamps burning,
Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning, and
36 and you yourselves like to men waiting for the master of themselves whenever (he may return *N(k)O*) from the wedding feasts, that having come and having knocked immediately they may open to him.
ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.
37 Blessed [are] the servants those whom having come the master will find watching; Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and he will make recline them, and having come up he will serve them.
Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come and serve them.
38 And if And if (he may come *k*) in the second (watch *k*) (and if and if *N(k)O*) in the third watch he may come and he may find [them] thus, blessed are (*ko*) (servants *KO*) those!
And if he come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, happy indeed are those servants.
39 This however do know that if had known the master of the house in what hour the thief is coming, not (he watched *KO*) (maybe *K*) (and *KO*) maybe he have allowed (to be broken into *N(k)O*) the house of him.
And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:
40 Also you yourselves (therefore *K*) do be ready, for in the hour not you expect the Son of Man comes.
therefore be ye also ready; for the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.
41 Said then (to him *k*) Peter; Lord, to us parable this speak You or also to all?
Then said Peter unto Him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?
42 (And *no*) said (now *k*) the Lord; Who then is the faithful manager (the *N(k)O*) wise whom will set the master over the care [of servants] of him to give [them] in season the measure of food?
And the Lord said, Who is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?
43 Blessed [is] the servant that [one] whom having come the master of him will find doing thus.
Happy is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
45 If however shall say the servant that [one] in the heart of him; Delays the master of Me to come, and shall begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants to eat also and to drink and to get drunk,
But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and drink, and to be drunken:
46 will come the master of the servant that [one] in a day in which not he does expect and in an hour that not he knows and he will cut in two him and the place of him with the unbelievers will appoint.
the lord of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 That [very] now servant the [one] having known the will of the master (of him *N(k)O*) and not having prepared (or *N(k)O*) having done according to the will of him will be beaten with many [blows].
And that servant, who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself to do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
48 the [one] however not having known having done however [things] worthy of stripes will be beaten with few. Everyone now to whom has been given much, much will be required from him; and to whom has been committed much, more excessive will they ask of him.
but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 Fire I came to cast (upon *N(k)O*) the earth and how I wish if already it be kindled!
I am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were already kindled?
50 Baptism however I have to be baptized [with] and how I am distressed until (while *N(k)O*) it may be accomplished!
for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished?
51 Think you that peace I came to give on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division.
Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division.
52 There will be for from now five in one house divided, three against two and two against three
For from this time there shall be five in one family divided, three against two and two against three:
53 (They will be divided *N(k)O*) father against son and son against father, mother against (*no*) (daughter *N(k)O*) and daughter against (*no*) (mother, *N(k)O*) mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law of her and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law (of her. *k*)
the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 He was saying now also to the crowds; When you may see a cloud rising up (from *N(k)O*) [the] west, immediately you say (that *no*) A shower is coming, and it happens so.
He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:
55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say that Heat there will be, and it happens.
and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh to pass.
56 Hypocrites! The appearance of the earth and of the sky you know [how] to discern, the time however this how not (do you know *no*) (to discern? *N(k)O*)
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
57 Why now even for yourselves not judge you what [is] right?
and why do ye not even of yourselves judge what is right?
58 As for you are going with the adversary of you before a magistrate, in the way do give earnestness to have been set free from him otherwise otherwise he may drag away you to the judge, and the judge you (will deliver *N(k)O*) to the officer, and the officer you (will cast *N(k)(o)*) into prison.
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, endeavour while thou art in the way to be discharged, least he force thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer carry thee to prison.
59 I say to you; certainly not shall you come out from there until (of which *k*) even (the *N(k)O*) last lepton you may have paid.
I tell thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
