Luke 6
1 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.
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through corn-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.
2 And summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?
3 And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not redde, what Dauith dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym;
And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they who were with him;
4 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.
How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
And he said to them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 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.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered:
7 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.
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, [to see] whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 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.
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood forth.
9 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?
Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?
10 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.
And looking around upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 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.
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13 And whanne the day was come, he clepide hise disciplis, and chees twelue of hem, whiche he clepide also apostlis;
And when it was day, he called [to him] his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named Apostles;
14 Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
Simon (whom he also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16 Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
17 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,
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain; and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
And they that were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.
20 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.
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [are ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessid be ye, that now hungren, for ye schulen be fulfillid. Blessid be ye, that now wepen, for ye schulen leiye.
Blessed [are] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 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.
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, on account of the son of man.
23 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.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers to the prophets.
24 Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
Woe to you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Wo to you, whanne alle men schulen blesse you; aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to profetis.
Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,
28 blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.
29 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.
And to him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not [to take thy] coat also.
30 And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask [them] not again.
31 And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.
For if ye love them who love you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.
And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 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.
And if ye lend [to them] from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.
35 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.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and [to] the evil.
36 Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 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.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 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.
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give [to others], it shall be measured to you again.
39 And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?
And he spoke a parable to them; Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?
40 A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect, shall be as his master.
41 And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
42 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.
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43 It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 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.
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.
45 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.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Eche that cometh to me, and herith my wordis, and doith hem, Y schal schewe to you, to whom he is lijk.
Whoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like.
48 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.
He is like a man who built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 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.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
