Luke 6

1Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

1And it came to pass on the second first sabbath that, as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

2But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?

2And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?

3And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;

3And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry and they that were with him:

4how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?

4How he went into the house of God and took and ate the bread of proposition and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?

5And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

5And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

6And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

6And 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.

7And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.

7And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against him.

8But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

8But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth.

9And Jesus said unto 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?

9Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil? To save life or to destroy?

10And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.

10And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth. And his hand was restored.

11But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

11And they were filled with madness: and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus.

12And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.

12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.

13And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:

13And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples: and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles):

14Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

14Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,

16and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;

16And Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

17and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judæa and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

17And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon,

18and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.

18Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

19And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all.

19And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all.

20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessedare ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

20And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.

22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

22Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

24But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

29To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

29And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.

30Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

30Give to every one that asketh thee: and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.

31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

31And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner.

32And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them.

39And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

39And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch?

41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

41And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?

42Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou 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 thy brother’s eye.

42Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye: and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.

43For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

43For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit: nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

44For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

44For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns: nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.

46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

46And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?

47Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:

47Every one that cometh to me and heareth my words and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.

48He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house: and it could not shake it: for it was founded on a rock.
