Luke 6

Now it came to pass for him to be going through the grain fields on a particular sabbath, and his disciples were plucking the ears and were eating, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do ye that, which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not permitted to do on the sabbath day?
3 Jesus replied, and said to them: Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those with him?
And having answered them, Jesus said, Have ye not read even this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
4 How he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Lord's table, and gave it to those that were with him; which it was not lawful, except for the priests only, to eat?
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the loaves of the presentation, and also gave to those who were with him, which is not permitted to eat, except the priests alone?
5 And he said to them: The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
And he said to them, The Son of man is lord also of the sabbath.
6 And on another sabbath, he entered a synagogue and taught. And a man was there, whose right hand was withered.
And it also came to pass on another sabbath for him to enter into the synagogue and teach. And a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
7 And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might be able to accuse him.
And the scholars and the Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.
8 And as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man with a withered hand: Rise and come into the midst of the congregation. And when he came and stood there,
But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.
9 Jesus said to them: I ask you, What is it lawful to do on the sabbath? that which is good? or that which is evil? to save life or to destroy it?
Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill?
10 And he looked upon them all; and then said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand, and it was restored like the other.
And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with envy; and they conferred one with another, what they should do to Jesus.
But they were filled with fury, and deliberated with each other what they might do to Jesus.
12 And in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to God.
And he happened in these days to go out onto the mountain to pray, and he was continuing all night in prayer to God.
13 And when the day dawned, he called his disciples, and selected from them twelve, whom he named Legates:

16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
17 And Jesus descended with them, and stood in the plain; and a great company of his disciples, and a multitude of assembled people, from all Judaea, and from Jerusalem and from the seashore of Tyre and Sidon; who came to hear his discourse, and to be healed of their diseases;
And having come down with them, he stood on a level place. And a company of his disciples, and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, were those who came to hear him, and to be healed from their diseases,
18 and they who were afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them all.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye will be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.
Blessed are those who hunger now, because ye will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, because ye will laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and repel you, and revile you, and cast out your names as base, for the Son of man's sake.
Blessed are ye, when men will hate you, and when they will exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, because of the Son of man.
23 Rejoice in that day and exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so did their fathers to the prophets.

24 But, woe to you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.

30 To every one that asketh of thee, give thou: and from him that taketh thy property, demand it not.
Give to every man who asks thee, and from him who takes away thy personal things do not demand them back.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye also to them.
And as ye desire that men would do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For, if ye love them that love you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners love those that love them.
And if ye love those who love you, what credit is for you? For even sinners love those who love them.

41 And why observest thou the straw that is in thy brother's eye, but regardest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
42 Or how canst thou say to thy brothers, My brother, allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; when, lo, the beam that is in thy own eye, thou regardest not. Hypocrite! first cast the beam out thy eye, and then thy vision will be clear to pluck the straw from thy brother's eye.
Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck in thy brother's eye.
43 There is no good tree, that beareth bad fruits; nor a bad tree, that beareth good fruits.
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by its fruits. Do men gather figs from thorn-bushes? So, neither do they pluck grapes from brambles.
For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush.
45 A good man, from the good treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out good things: and a bad man, from the bad treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out bad things. For, from the abundance of the heart, the lips speak.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good, and the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart brings forth the bad, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 And why call ye me, My Lord, my Lord; while ye do not that which I command you?
And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things that I say?
47 Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show to whom he is like:
Every man who comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.
48 He is like a man that built a house; and he dug and went deep, and laid the foundations on a rock: and when a flood occurred, the flood rushed upon that house, and could not move it, for its foundation rested on a rock.
He is like a man who builds a house, who dug and excavated, and laid a foundation upon the rock. And when a flood developed, the stream beat upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.
49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built his house upon the earth, without a foundation; and when the torrent rushed upon it, it fell immediately, and the ruin of that house was great.
But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
