Luke 6
1 Now it happened on a Sabbath that Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them between their hands, and eating the grain.
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 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing something that is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
And summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
3 Answering them, Jesus said, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and the men 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 He went into the house of God, and took the bread of the presence and ate some of it, and also gave some to the men who were with him to eat, even though it was only lawful for the priests to eat it.”
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 Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
And he seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
6 It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and taught the people there. A man was 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 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see whether he would heal someone on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse 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 what they were thinking and he said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up, and stand here in the middle of everyone.” So the man got up and stood there.
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 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?”
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 Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” 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 anger and they talked to each other about what they might do to Jesus.
And thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
12 It happened in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. 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 When it was day, he called his disciples to him, and he chose twelve of them, 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 The names of the apostles were Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot,
Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
17 Then Jesus came down the mountain with them and stood on a level place with a large crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.
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 They had come to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. People who were troubled with unclean spirits were also healed.
that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
19 Everyone in the crowd kept trying to touch him because power to heal was coming out from him, and he healed them all.
And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
20 Then he looked at his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are 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 you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you 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 you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because 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, because you will surely have a great reward in heaven, for their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
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 who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
25 Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry later. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep later.
Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated 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 are listening, love your enemies and 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 and pray for those who mistreat you.
blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer him also the other. If someone takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.
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 everyone who asks you. If someone takes away something that belongs to you, do not ask him to give it back to you.
And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
31 As you want people to do to you, you should do the same to them.
And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
32 If you only love people who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners 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 If you do good only to people who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For 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 If you only lend to people from whom you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
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 to them. Lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind toward unthankful and evil people.
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, just as your Father is merciful.
Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you 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. A generous amount—pressed down, shaken together and spilling over—will pour into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
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 Then he also told them a parable. “Can a blind person guide another blind person? If he did, they would both fall into a pit, would they not?
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 greater than his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
41 Why do you look at the tiny piece of straw that is in your brother's eye, but you do not notice the log that is in your 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 can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the piece of straw that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not even see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the piece of straw that is in your 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 produces rotten fruit, nor is there a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
44 For each tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. For people do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.
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 from the good treasure of his heart produces what is good, and the evil man from the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
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 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and yet you do not obey the things that I say?
And what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
47 Every person who comes to me and hears my words and obeys them, I will tell you what 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 down deep in the ground and built the house's foundation on solid rock. When a flood came, the torrent of water flowed against that house, but could not shake it, because it had been 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 the person who hears my words and does not obey them, he is like a man who built a house on top of the ground without a foundation. When the torrent of water flowed against that house, it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was complete.”
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.
