Luke 6
1 Now on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.
Now on the second Sabbath ·To cease· after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"
But some of the Pharisees [Separated] said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
3 "Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers were hungry;
Yeshua [Salvation], answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David [Beloved] did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread from the table of Yahweh, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
5 "The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
6 On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.
It also happened on another Sabbath ·To cease· that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that they might find an accusation against him.
8 He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And he rose and stood there.
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it."
Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath ·To cease· to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
10 And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
11 But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Yeshua [Salvation].
12 About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13 When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14 These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
Simeon [Hearing], whom he also named Peter [Rock]; Andrew [Manly], his brother; James [Surplanter]; John [Yah is gracious]; Philip [Loves horses]; Bartholomew [Son who suspends waters];
15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
Matthew [Gift of Yah]; Thomas [Seeker of truth]; James [Surplanter], the son of Alphaeus [Changing]; Simeon [Hearing], who was called the Zealot [Zealous follower];
16 James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to be a traitor.
Judas [Praised] the son of James [Surplanter]; and Judas Iscariot [Praised Dagger-man], who also became a traitor.
17 With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea [Praise] and Jerusalem [City of peace], and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
18 and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.
19 The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went forth from him and cured every one.
All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
20 Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, "Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours.
21 "Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall laugh.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 "Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23 "Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24 "But alas for you rich men, because you already have your consolation!
“But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
25 "Alas for you who now have plenty to eat, because you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep aloud!
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 "Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!
Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 "But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;
“But I tell you who hear: show agapao ·total devotion love· to your enemies, do good to those who hate and detest you,
28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
29 To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.
30 To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave to you.
“As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? Why, even bad men love those who love them.
If you show agapao ·total devoted love· those who show agapao ·total devoted love· you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners show agapao ·total devoted love· to those who show agapao ·total devoted love· to them.
33 And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal amount.
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.
35 Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
But show agapao ·total devoted love· to your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of haElyon [the Most High]; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
36 Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
“Therefore be merciful, even as 'Avikah ·your Father· is also merciful.
37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned;
Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
38 give, and gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return."
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”
39 He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?
He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
40 There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 "And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
43 "There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.
For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
44 Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 "And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what I tell you?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
47 Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them in practice, I will show you whom he is like.
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
48 He is like a man building a house, who digs and goes deep, and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes, the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it, because it is securely built.
He is like a man 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 was founded on the rock.
49 But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
But he who hears, and does not do, is like a man 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.”
