Luke 6
1 And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,
On the Sabbath called second prime, as Jesus was passing through the cornfields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and eat them.
2 and certain of the Pharisees said to them, 'Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?'
And some Pharisees said to them, Why do you that which it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?
3 And Jesus answering said unto them, 'Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,
Jesus replying, said to them, Did you never read what David and his attendants did, when they were hungry;
4 how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?'
how he entered the mansion of God, and took and eat the loaves of the presence, and gave also of this bread to his attendants; though it can not be lawfully eat by any but the priests?
5 and he said to them, — 'The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.'
He added, The Son of Man is master even of the Sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,
It happened also on another Sabbath, that he went into the synagogue and taught; and a man was there whose right hand was blasted.
7 and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.
Now the Scribes and the Pharisees watched, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find matter for accusing him.
8 And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, 'Rise, and stand in the midst;' and he having risen, stood.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to the man, whose hand was blasted, Arise, and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, 'I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?'
Then Jesus said to them, I would ask you, What is it lawful to do on the Sabbath? Good or ill? To save, or to destroy?
10 And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
And, looking around on them all, he said to the man, stretch out your hand; and in doing this, his hand was rendered sound like the other.
11 and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.
But they were filled with madness, and consulted together, what they should do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,
In those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in an oratory.
13 and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,
When it was day, he called to him his disciples; and of them he chose twelve, whom he named Apostles.
14 (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15 Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
Matthew, and Thomas, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealous,
16 Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer; )
Judas, brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
17 and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,
Afterward, Jesus, coming down with them, stopped on a plain, where a company of his disciples, with a vast multitude from all parts of Judea, Jerusalem, and the maritime country of Tyre and Sidon,
18 and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,
were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. Those also who were infested with unclean spirits, came, and were cured.
19 and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.
And every one strove to touch him, because a virtue came from him, which healed them all.
20 And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: 'Happy the poor — because yours is the reign of God.
Then fixing his eyes on his disciples, he said, Happy you poor, for the kingdom of God is yours!
21 'Happy those hungering now — because ye shall be filled. 'Happy those weeping now — because ye shall laugh.
Happy you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied! Happy you that weep now, for you shall laugh!
22 'Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake —
Happy shall you be when men shall hate you, and separate your from their society; yes, reproach and defame you, on account of the Son of Man!
23 rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
Rejoice on that day, and triumph, knowing that your reward in heaven is great! for thus did their fathers treat the prophets.
24 'But woe to you — the rich, because ye have got your comfort.
But alas, for you rich; for you have received your comforts!
25 'Woe to you who have been filled — because ye shall hunger. 'Woe to you who are laughing now — because ye shall mourn and weep.
Alas, for you that are full; for you shall hunger! Alas, for you who laugh now; for you shall mourn and weep!
26 'Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you — for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
Alas, when all men shall speak well of you; for so did their fathers of the false prophets.
27 'But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
But I charge you, my hearers, love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,
28 bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;
bless them who curse you, pray for them who traduce you.
29 and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.
To him who smites you on one cheek, present the other; and from him who takes your mantle, withhold not your coat.
30 'And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;
Give to every one who asks you; and from him who takes away your goods, do not demand them back.
31 and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;
And as you would that men should do to you, do you likewise to them.
32 and — if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;
For if you love those who love you, what thanks are you entitled to, since even sinners love those who love them?
33 and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks are you entitled to, since even sinners do the same?
34 and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners — that they may receive again as much.
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks are you entitled to, since even sinners lend to sinners, that they may received as much in return.
35 'But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;
But love your enemies, do good and lend, nowise despairing; and your reward shall be great; and you shall be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and malignant.
36 be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
Be therefore merciful, as your Father is merciful.
37 'And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.
Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; release, and you shall be released;
38 'Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'
give, and you shall get: good measure, pressed down and shaken, and heaped, shall be poured into your lap; for the very measure you give to others you yourself shall receive.
39 And he spake a simile to them, 'Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?
He also used this comparison: Can the blind guide the blind? Will not both fall into a ditch?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

41 'And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?
And why do you observe the mote in your brother's eyes; but perceive not the splinter in your own eye?
42 or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye — thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother's eye.
Or how can you say to your brothers, Brother, let me take out the mote which is in your eye, not considering that there is a splinter out of your own eye; then you will see to take out the mote which is in your brother's eyes.
43 'For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;
That is not a good tree which yields bad fruit; nor is that a bad tree which yields good fruit.
44 for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered off thorns; nor grapes off a bramble-bush.
45 'The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.
The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings that which is good: the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart, brings that which is bad; for it is out of the fulness of the heart that the mouth speaks.
46 'And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?
But why do you, in addressing me, cry, Master, Master, and obey not my commands!
47 Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;
Whoever comes to me and hears my precepts, and practices them, I will show you whom he resembles:
48 he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.
he resembles a man who built a house, and digging deep, laid the foundation upon the rock: and when an inundation came, the torrent broke upon that house, but could not shake it; for it was founded upon rock.
49 'And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.'
But he who hears, and does not practice, resembles a man, who, without laying a foundation, built a house upon the earth: which, when the torrent broke against it, fell, and became a great pile of ruins.
