3 Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
And Jesus answering them said, Have all of you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him;
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?"
How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then 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?"
Then said Jesus unto 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 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.
And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: (pneuma) and they were healed.
19 All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
And unto him that strikes you on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that takes away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Give to every man that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods ask them not again.
31 And as you would like people to do to you, you also do the same to them.
And as all of you would that men should do to you, do all of you also to them likewise.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
For if all of you love them which love you, what thank have all of you? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
And if all of you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have all of you? for sinners also do even the same.
34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
And if all of you lend to them of whom all of you hope to receive, what thank have all of you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
But love all of you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and all of you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Be all of you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Do not judge, and you won't be judged. Do not condemn, and you won't be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Judge not, and all of you shall not be judged: condemn not, and all of you shall not be condemned: forgive, and all of you shall be forgiven:

41 And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
And why behold you the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Either how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me pull out the splinter that is in your eye, when you yourself behold not the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then shall you see clearly to pull out the splinter that is in your brother's eye.
43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
And why call all of you me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Whosoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, (logos) and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:
48 He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
He is like a man which built an house, and dug 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 who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
