Luke 6
1 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.
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 summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not permitted to do on the sabbath day?
3 And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not redde, what Dauith dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym;
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 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.
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 seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
And he said to them, The Son of man is lord also of the sabbath.
6 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.
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 scribis and Farisees aspieden hym, if he wolde heele hym in the sabat, that thei schulden fynde cause, whereof thei schulden accuse hym.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
But they were filled with fury, and deliberated with each other what they might do to Jesus.
12 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.
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 whanne the day was come, he clepide hise disciplis, and chees twelue of hem, whiche he clepide also apostlis;
And when it became day, he called his disciples, and chose twelve from them, whom he also named apostles:
14 Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16 Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
17 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,
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 that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
also those who were afflicted with unclean spirits. And they were healed.
19 And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
And all the multitude sought to touch him, because power came forth from him, and healed them all.
20 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.
And having lifted up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God is what belongs to you.
21 Blessid be ye, that now hungren, for ye schulen be fulfillid. Blessid be ye, that now wepen, for ye schulen leiye.
Blessed are those who hunger now, because ye will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, because ye will laugh.
22 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.
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 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.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did in the same way to the prophets.
24 Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
However, woe to you the rich, because ye have received your consolation.
25 Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
Woe to you who are filled now, because ye will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, because ye will mourn and weep.
26 Wo to you, whanne alle men schulen blesse you; aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to profetis.
Woe when men will speak well of you, for their fathers did in the same way to the false prophets.
27 But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;
But I say to you, to those who hear, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 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.
To him who strikes thee on the cheek offer the other also, and from him who takes away thy cloak, also do not withhold thy coat.
30 And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
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 wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
And as ye desire that men would do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.
And if ye love those who love you, what credit is for you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 And if ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.
And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what credit is for you? For even sinners do the same.
34 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.
And if ye lend to whom ye hope to receive, what credit is for you? For even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 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.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, despairing nothing, and your reward will be great. And ye will be sons of the Most High, because he is good toward the ungrateful and bad.
36 Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
Become ye therefore merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
37 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.
And do not criticize, and ye will, no, not be criticized. And do not condemn, and ye will, no, not be condemned. Forgive, and ye will be forgiven.
38 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.
Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with the same measure with which ye measure, it will be measured again to you.
39 And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?
And he spoke a parable to them. Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but every disciple who is fully developed will be as his teacher.
41 And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?
And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
42 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.
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 It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.
44 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.
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 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.
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 what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things that I say?
47 Eche that cometh to me, and herith my wordis, and doith hem, Y schal schewe to you, to whom he is lijk.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
