Luke 12
1 In these [times] when were gathering the myriads of the crowd so as to trample upon one another He began to say to the disciples of Him first; do take heed to yourselves of the leaven which is hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 No [thing] now concealed is which not will be revealed, nor hidden which not will be known.
There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
3 Instead that as much as in the darkness you have said in the light will be heard, and what into the ear you have spoken in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 I say now to you those friends of Mine; not you may fear because of those killing the body and after these things not being able more excessive anything to do.
I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5 I will show however you whom you may fear: do fear the [One who] after the killing has authority to cast into hell. Yes I say to you; Him do fear. (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
6 Surely five sparrows (are being sold for *N+kO) assarion two? And one of them not is forgotten before God;
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 But even the hairs of the head of you all have been numbered. Not (therefore *K) do fear; than many sparrows you are more valuable.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
8 I say now to you; everyone who maybe (may confess *NK+o) in Me myself before the men, also the Son of Man will confess in him before the angels of God;
I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 the [one] now having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 And everyone who will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him; to the [one] however [who] against the Holy Spirit having blasphemed not will be forgiven.
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 When then (they may bring in *N+kO) you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, not (may be anxious *N+kO) how or what you may present a defense or what you may say;
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
12 the for Holy Spirit will teach you in same the hour what it behooves [you] to say.
For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
13 Said then one from the crowd to Him: Teacher, do say to the brother of mine to divide with me the inheritance.
Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 And He said to him; Man, who Me appointed (a judge *N+kO) or partitioner over you?
But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
15 He said then to them; do watch and do keep yourselves from (all *N+kO) covetousness, for not in the abounding to anyone the life (to him *NK+o) is of the possessions (of him. *N+kO)
And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16 He spoke then a parable to them saying; Of a man certain rich brought forth abundantly the ground.
Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
17 And he was reasoning within himself saying; What shall I do for not I have where I will store up the fruits of mine?
So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
18 And he said; This will I do: I will tear down my barns and greater will build and will store up there all (the grain *N+kO) (of mine *k) and the goods of mine
Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
19 And I will say to the soul of mine; Soul, you have many good things laid up for years many. do rest yourself do eat, do drink, do be merry.
Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
20 Said then to him God; Fool! On this night the soul of you (is required *NK+o) of you. what now you did prepare — to whom will [it] be?
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
21 So [is] the [one] treasuring up for himself and not toward God being rich.
This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
22 He said then to the disciples of Him; Because of this I say to you: not do be anxious for the life (of you *k) what you may eat, nor [be anxious] for the body (of you *o) what you may put on.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23 The (for *no) life more is than the food, and the body than the clothing.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24 do consider the ravens that not they sow nor they reap to them not there is a storehouse nor [is] barn — and God feeds them; How much more you yourselves are valuable than the birds?
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 Which now of you being anxious is able to the lifespan of him to add hour (one? *ko)
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
26 If then (not even *N+kO) [the] least you are able [to do], why about the rest are you anxious?
So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 do consider the lilies how they grow: Not do they labor nor do they spin. I say however to you; not even Solomon in all the glory of him was arrayed as one of these.
Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28 If however in [the] field the grass being [here] today and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown God thus (dresses, *N+kO) how much more you, O [you] of little faith?
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 And you yourselves not do seek what you may eat (and *N+kO) what you may drink, and not do worry yourself.
And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30 these things for all the nations of the world (seek for; *N+kO) of you now the Father knows that you have need of these.
For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 But do seek the kingdom (of Him *N+KO) and these things (all things *K) will be added to you.
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
32 Not do fear, O little flock, for took delight the Father of you to give you the kingdom.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 do sell the possessions of you and do give alms; do make to yourselves purses not growing old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens where thief not does draw near nor moth destroy;
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 Where for is the treasure of you, there also the heart of you will be.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 should be your waist girded and the lamps burning,
Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
36 and you yourselves like to men waiting for the master of themselves whenever (he may return *N+kO) from the wedding feasts, that having come and having knocked immediately they may open to him.
Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
37 Blessed [are] the servants those whom having come the master will find watching; Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and he will make recline them, and having come up he will serve them.
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
38 And if And if (he may come *k) in the second (watch *k) (and if and if *N+kO) in the third watch he may come and he may find [them] thus, blessed are (servants *KO) those!
Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
39 This however do know that if had known the master of the house in what hour the thief is coming, not (he watched *KO) (maybe *K) (and *KO) maybe he have allowed (to be broken into *N+kO) the house of him.
But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Also you yourselves (therefore *K) do be ready, for in the hour not you expect the Son of Man comes.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
41 Said then (to him *k) Peter; Lord, to us parable this speak You or also to all?
“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
42 (And *no) said (now *k) the Lord; Who then is the faithful manager (the *N+kO) wise whom will set the master over the care [of servants] of him to give [them] in season the measure of food?
And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
43 Blessed [is] the servant that [one] whom having come the master of him will find doing thus.
Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
44 Of a truth I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45 If however shall say the servant that [one] in the heart of him; Delays the master of Me to come, and shall begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants to eat also and to drink and to get drunk,
But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
46 will come the master of the servant that [one] in a day in which not he does expect and in an hour that not he knows and he will cut in two him and the place of him with the unbelievers will appoint.
The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 That [very] now servant the [one] having known the will of the master (of him *N+kO) and not having prepared (or *N+kO) having done according to the will of him will be beaten with many [blows].
That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
48 the [one] however not having known having done however [things] worthy of stripes will be beaten with few. Everyone now to whom has been given much, much will be required from him; and to whom has been committed much, more excessive will they ask of him.
But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
49 Fire I came to cast (upon *N+kO) the earth and how I wish if already it be kindled!
I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 Baptism however I have to be baptized [with] and how I am distressed until (while *N+kO) it may be accomplished!
But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 Think you that peace I came to give on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division.
Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 There will be for from now five in one house divided, three against two and two against three
From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
53 (They will be divided *N+kO) father against son and son against father, mother against (daughter *N+kO) and daughter against (mother, *N+kO) mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law of her and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law (of her. *k)
They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
54 He was saying now also to the crowds; When you may see a cloud rising up (from *N+kO) [the] west, immediately you say (that *no) A shower is coming, and it happens so.
Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say that Heat there will be, and it happens.
And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
56 Hypocrites! The appearance of the earth and of the sky you know [how] to discern, the time however this how not (do you know *no) (to discern? *N+kO)
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
57 Why now even for yourselves not judge you what [is] right?
And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 As for you are going with the adversary of you before a magistrate, in the way do give earnestness to have been set free from him otherwise otherwise he may drag away you to the judge, and the judge you (will deliver *N+kO) to the officer, and the officer you (will cast *N+k+o) into prison.
Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
59 I say to you; certainly not shall you come out from there until (of which *k) even (the *N+kO) last lepton you may have paid.
I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
