Luke 6
American Standard Version
1NowG1161 it cameG1096 to passG1096 on a sabbathG4521, that he was going through the grainfieldsG4702; and his disciplesG3101 plucked the ears, and did eatG2068, rubbing them in their handsG5495. 2But certainG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004, WhyG5101 do ye that which it is not lawfulG1832 to do on the sabbathG4521 day? 3And JesusG2424 answeringG611 them saidG3004, Have ye not readG314 evenG2532 this, what DavidG1138 did, when he wasG1510 hungryG3983, he, and they that wereG1510 with him; 4howG5613 he enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of GodG2316, and tookG2983 and ateG2068 the showbread, and gaveG1325 alsoG2532 to them that were with him; which it is not lawfulG1832 to eatG2068 save for the priestsG2409 aloneG3441? 5And he saidG3004 unto them, The SonG5207 of manG444 isG1510 lordG2962 of the sabbathG4521.
6And it cameG1096 to passG1096 on another sabbathG4521, that he enteredG1525 into the synagogueG4864 and taughtG1321: and there wasG1510 a manG444 there, and his rightG1188 handG5495 wasG1510 witheredG3584. 7And the scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 watchedG3906 him, whether he would healG2323 on the sabbathG4521; that they might findG2147 how to accuseG2723 him. 8But he knew their thoughtsG1261; and he saidG3004 to the manG435 that had his handG5495 witheredG3584, RiseG450 up, and standG2476 forth in the midstG3319. And he aroseG450 and stoodG2476 forth. 9And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, I askG1905 you, Is it lawfulG1832 on the sabbathG4521 to do goodG15, or to do harm? to saveG4982 a lifeG5590, or to destroyG622 it? 10And he lookedG4017 round about on them all, and saidG3004 unto him, StretchG1614 forth thy handG5495. And he did so: and his handG5495 was restored. 11But they were filledG4130 with madness; and communed oneG240 with another what they might do to JesusG2424.
12And it cameG1096 to passG1096 in these daysG2250, that he wentG1831 out into the mountainG3735 to prayG4336; and he continued all night in prayerG4335 to GodG2316. 13And whenG3753 it was dayG2250, he called his disciplesG3101; and he chose from them twelveG1427, whom alsoG2532 he named apostlesG652: 14SimonG4613, whom he alsoG2532 named PeterG4074, and AndrewG406 his brotherG80, and JamesG2385 and JohnG2491, and PhilipG5376 and BartholomewG918, 15and MatthewG3156 and ThomasG2381, and JamesG2385 the son of Alphæus, and SimonG4613 who was calledG2564 the ZealotG2208, 16and JudasG2455 the son of JamesG2385, and JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, who becameG1096 a traitor; 17and he cameG2064 downG2597 with them, and stoodG2476 on a level placeG5117, and a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 of his disciplesG3101, and a greatG4183 number of the peopleG2992 from all Judæa and JerusalemG2419, and the sea coast of TyreG5184 and SidonG4605, who cameG2064 to hearG191 him, and to be healedG2390 of their diseasesG3554; 18and they that were troubled with uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 were healedG2323. 19And all the multitudeG3793 soughtG2212 to touchG681 him; for powerG1411 cameG1831 forthG1831 from him, and healedG2390 them all.
20And he liftedG1869 up his eyesG3788 on his disciplesG3101, and saidG3004, BlessedareG1510 ye poorG4434: for yours isG1510 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 21Blessed are ye that hungerG3983 nowG3568: for ye shall be filledG5526. Blessed are ye that weepG2799 nowG3568: for ye shall laugh. 22Blessed areG1510 ye, whenG3752 menG444 shall hateG3404 you, and whenG3752 they shall separateG873 you from their company, and reproach you, and castG1544 out your nameG3686 as evilG4190, for the SonG5207 of man’sG444 sakeG1752. 23RejoiceG5463 in that dayG2250, and leapG4640 for joy: for beholdG2400, your rewardG3408 is greatG4183 in heavenG3772; for in the sameG846 manner did their fathersG3962 unto the prophetsG4396. 24But woeG3759 unto you that are richG4145! for ye have received your consolation. 25WoeG3759 unto you, ye that are full nowG3568! for ye shall hungerG3983. WoeG3759 unto you, ye that laugh nowG3568! for ye shall mournG3996 and weepG2799. 26WoeG3759 unto you, whenG3752 all menG444 shall speakG3004 wellG2573 of you! for in the sameG846 manner did their fathersG3962 to the falseG5578 prophetsG5578.
27But I sayG3004 unto you that hearG191, LoveG25 your enemiesG2190, do goodG2573 to them that hateG3404 you, 28blessG2127 them that curseG2672 you, prayG4336 for them that despitefully use you. 29To him that smiteth thee on the oneG3588 cheekG4600 offer alsoG2532 the otherG243; and from him that taketh awayG142 thy cloakG2440 withholdG2967 not thy coat alsoG2532. 30GiveG1325 to every oneG3588 that asketh thee; and of him that taketh awayG142 thy goods askG154 them not again. 31And as ye would that menG444 should do to you, do ye alsoG2532 to them likewiseG3668. 32And if ye loveG25 them that loveG25 you, what thankG5485 have ye? for evenG2532 sinnersG268 loveG25 those that loveG25 them. 33And if ye do goodG15 to them that do goodG15 to you, what thankG5485 have ye? for evenG2532 sinnersG268 do the sameG846. 34And if ye lendG1155 to them of whom ye hopeG1679 to receiveG2983, what thankG5485 have ye? evenG2532 sinnersG268 lendG1155 to sinnersG268, to receiveG2983 again as much. 35But loveG25 your enemiesG2190, and do them goodG15, and lendG1155, never despairing; and your rewardG3408 shall beG1510 greatG4183, and ye shall beG1510 sonsG5207 of the Most HighG5310: for he isG1510 kindG5543 toward the unthankful and evilG4190. 36BeG1510 ye mercifulG3629, even as your FatherG3962 isG1510 mercifulG3629. 37And judgeG2919 not, and ye shall not be judgedG2919: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: releaseG630, and ye shall be releasedG630: 38giveG1325, and it shall be givenG1325 unto you; goodG2570 measureG3354, pressed down, shakenG4531 together, running over, shall they giveG1325 into your bosomG2859. For with what measureG3354 ye mete it shall be measuredG3354 to you again.
39And he spake alsoG2532 a parableG3850 unto them, Can the blindG5185 guide the blindG5185? shall they not both fallG1706 into a pitG999? 40The discipleG3101 isG1510 not above his teacherG1320: but every oneG3588 whenG5613 he isG1510 perfected shall beG1510 as his teacherG1320. 41And whyG5101 beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but considerest not the beam that is in thine ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42Or howG4459 canst thou sayG3004 to thy brotherG80, BrotherG80, let me castG1544 out the mote that is in thine eyeG3788, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eyeG3788? Thou hypocriteG5273, castG1544 out firstG4413 the beam out of thine own eyeG3788, and then shalt thou seeG991 clearlyG1227 to castG1544 out the mote that is in thy brother’sG80 eyeG3788. 43For there isG1510 no goodG2570 treeG1186 that bringeth forth corrupt fruitG2590; nor againG3825 a corrupt treeG1186 that bringeth forth goodG2570 fruitG2590. 44For each treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its ownG2398 fruitG2590. For of thornsG173 men do not gatherG4816 figsG4810, nor of a bramble bushG942 gatherG4816 they grapes. 45The goodG18 manG444 out of the goodG18 treasureG2344 of his heartG2588 bringeth forthG4393 that which is goodG18; and the evilG4190 manG444 out of the evilG4190 treasureG2344 bringeth forthG4393 that which is evilG4190: for out of the abundance of the heartG2588 his mouthG4750 speaketh.
46And whyG5101 callG2564 ye me, LordG2962, LordG2962, and do not the thingsG3739 which I sayG3004? 47Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my wordsG3056, and doeth them, I will showG5263 you to whom he isG1510 like: 48he isG1510 like a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, who digged and went deep, and laidG5087 a foundationG2310 upon the rockG4073: and when a flood aroseG1096, the stream brake against that houseG3614, and could not shake it: because it had beenG1510 wellG2573 builded. 49But he that heareth, and doeth not, isG1510 like a manG444 that builtG3618 a houseG3614 upon the earthG1093 without a foundationG2310; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fellG4098 in; and the ruin of that houseG3614 wasG1510 greatG3173.
