Luke 6
1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
And it was don in the secounde firste sabat, whanne he passid bi cornes, hise disciplis pluckiden eeris of corn; and thei frotynge with her hondis, eeten.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
And summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
3 Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not redde, what Dauith dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym;
4 how he entered into God’s house, 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?”
hou he entride in to the hous of God, and took looues of proposicioun, and eet, and yaf to hem that weren with hem; whiche looues it was not leeueful to eete, but oonli to prestis.
5 He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
And he seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
And it was don in another sabat, that he entride in to a synagoge, and tauyte. And a man was there, and his riyt hoond was drie.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
And the scribis and Farisees aspieden hym, if he wolde heele hym in the sabat, that thei schulden fynde cause, whereof thei schulden accuse hym.
8 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.
And he wiste the thouytis of hem, and he seide to the man that hadde a drie hoond, Rise vp, and stonde in to the myddil. And he roos, and stood.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
And Jhesus seide to hem, Y axe you, if it is leueful to do wel in the sabat, or yuel? to make a soule saaf, or to leese?
10 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.
And whanne he hadde biholde alle men aboute, he seide to the man, Hold forth thin hoond. And he held forth, and his hond was restorid to helthe.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
And thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
And it was don in tho daies, he wente out in to an hil to preye; and he was al nyyt dwellynge in the preier of God.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
And whanne the day was come, he clepide hise disciplis, and chees twelue of hem, whiche he clepide also apostlis;
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
15 Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;
Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
17 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 and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
And Jhesus cam doun fro the hil with hem, and stood in a feeldi place; and the cumpeny of hise disciplis, and a greet multitude of puple, of al Judee, and Jerusalem, and of the see coostis, and of Tyre and Sidon,
18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
And whanne hise iyen weren cast vp in to hise disciplis, he seide, Blessid be ye, `pore men, for the kyngdom of God is youre.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Blessid be ye, that now hungren, for ye schulen be fulfillid. Blessid be ye, that now wepen, for ye schulen leiye.
22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
Ye schulen be blessid, whanne men schulen hate you, and departe you awei, and putte schenschip to you, and cast out youre name as yuel, for mannus sone.
23 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.
Joye ye in that dai, and be ye glad; for lo! youre meede is myche in heuene; for aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to prophetis.
24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
25 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.
Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
Wo to you, whanne alle men schulen blesse you; aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to profetis.
27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
29 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.
And to him that smytith thee on o cheeke, schewe also the tothir; and fro hym that takith awei fro thee a cloth, nyle thou forbede the coote.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
31 “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.
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 ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.
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 ye leenen to hem of whiche ye hopen to take ayen, what thanke is to you? for synful men leenen to synful men, to take ayen as myche.
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.
Netheles loue ye youre enemyes, and do ye wel, and leene ye, hopinge no thing therof, and youre mede schal be myche, and ye schulen be the sones of the Heyest, for he is benygne on vnkynde men and yuele men.
36 “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
37 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.
Nyle ye deme, and ye schulen not be demed. Nyle ye condempne, and ye schulen not be condempned; foryyue ye, and it schal be foryouun to you.
38 “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.”
Yyue ye, and it schal be youun to you. Thei schulen yyue in to youre bosum a good mesure, and wel fillid, and schakun togidir, and ouerflowynge; for bi the same mesure, bi whiche ye meeten, it schal be metun `ayen to you.
39 He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
41 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?
And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?
42 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.
Or hou maist thou seie to thi brother, Brothir, suffre, Y schal caste out the moot of thin iye, and thou biholdist not a beem in thin owne iye? Ipocrite, first take out the beem of thin iye, and thanne thou schalt se to take the moot of thi brotheris iye.
43 “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
44 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.
for euery tre is knowun of his fruyt. And men gaderen not figus of thornes, nethir men gaderen a grape of a buysche of breris.
45 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.
A good man of the good tresoure of his herte bryngith forth good thingis, and an yuel man of the yuel tresoure bryngith forth yuel thingis; for of the plente of the herte the mouth spekith.
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
And what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Eche that cometh to me, and herith my wordis, and doith hem, Y schal schewe to you, to whom he is lijk.
48 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.
He is lijk to a man that bildith an hous, that diggide deepe, and sette the foundement on a stoon. And whanne greet flood was maad, the flood was hurtlid to that hous, and it miyte not moue it, for it was foundid on a sad stoon.
49 But he who hears and doesn’t 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.”
But he that herith, and doith not, is lijk to a man bildynge his hous on erthe with outen foundement; in to which the flood was hurlid, and anoon it felle doun; and the fallyng doun of that hous was maad greet.
