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 mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye 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.
But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed: and hid, that shall not be 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.
Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon 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.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them which kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
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 warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto 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 farthings? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of 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.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value 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;
And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 the [one] now having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of 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 every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall 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;
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 the for Holy Spirit will teach you in same the hour what it behooves [you] to say.
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
13 Said then one from the crowd to Him: Teacher, do say to the brother of mine to divide with me the inheritance.
And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
14 And He said to him; Man, who Me appointed (a judge *N+kO) or partitioner over you?
But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over 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 unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 He spoke then a parable to them saying; Of a man certain rich brought forth abundantly the ground.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
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?
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
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
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my corn 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.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, 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 unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 So [is] the [one] treasuring up for himself and not toward God being rich.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and 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.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 The (for *no) life more is than the food, and the body than the clothing.
For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
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, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
25 Which now of you being anxious is able to the lifespan of him to add hour (one? *ko)
And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto his stature?
26 If then (not even *N+kO) [the] least you are able [to do], why about the rest are you anxious?
If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning 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 the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 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?
But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye 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 seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
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 all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But do seek the kingdom (of Him *N+KO) and these things (all things *K) will be added to you.
Howbeit seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
32 Not do fear, O little flock, for took delight the Father of you to give you the kingdom.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
34 Where for is the treasure of you, there also the heart of you will be.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 should be your waist girded and the lamps burning,
Let your loins be girded about, and 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.
and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
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 lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve 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!
And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants].
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 know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
40 Also you yourselves (therefore *K) do be ready, for in the hour not you expect the Son of Man comes.
Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
41 Said then (to him *k) Peter; Lord, to us parable this speak You or also to all?
And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
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 said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Blessed [is] the servant that [one] whom having come the master of him will find doing thus.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
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 if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
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 lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
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].
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
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 he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
49 Fire I came to cast (upon *N+kO) the earth and how I wish if already it be kindled!
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what will I, if it is 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 be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Think you that peace I came to give on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division.
Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 There will be for from now five in one house divided, three against two and two against three
for there shall be from henceforth five in one house 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 shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her 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.
And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say that Heat there will be, and it happens.
And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
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)
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
57 Why now even for yourselves not judge you what [is] right?
And why even of yourselves judge ye not 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.
For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he hale thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee 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 say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
