The Lord of the Sabbath

(1 Samuel 21:1–7; Matthew 12:1–8; Mark 2:23–28)

One SabbathG45211 Jesus was passingG1279 throughG1223 the grainfieldsG4702, andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 began to pickG5089 theG3588 heads of grainG4719, rubG5597 them inG3588 their handsG5495, andG2532 eatG2068 them. 2ButG1161 someG5100 of theG3588 PhariseesG5330 askedG2036, “WhyG5101 are you doingG4160 whatG3739 is unlawfulG3756G1832 on theG3588 SabbathG4521?”

3

JesusG2424 repliedG611G2036G4314G846, “Have you not readG3761G314 whatG3778G3739 DavidG1138 didG4160 whenG3753 heG846 andG2532 his companionsG3588G1510G3326G846 were hungryG3983? 4He enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 houseG3624 of GodG2316, tookG2983 theG3588 consecrated breadG740G3588G42862 andG2532 gaveG1325 it to his companionsG3588G3326G846, and ateG5315 whatG3739 is lawfulG1832 only forG1487G3361G3441 theG3588 priestsG2409 to eatG5315.”

5ThenG2532 Jesus declaredG2036, “TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 isG1510 LordG2962 of theG3588 SabbathG4521.”

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

(Matthew 12:9–14; Mark 3:1–6)

6OnG1722 anotherG2087 SabbathG4521 Jesus enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 synagogueG4864 andG2532 was teachingG1321, andG2532 a manG444 wasG1510 thereG1563 whose rightG1188 handG5495 wasG1510 witheredG3584. 7Looking for a reasonG2443G2147 to accuseG2723 Jesus, theG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 were watching Him closelyG3906G846 to see ifG1487 He would healG2323 onG1722 theG3588 SabbathG4521.

8ButG1161 Jesus knewG1492 theirG846 thoughtsG1261 andG1161 saidG2036 to theG3588 manG435 withG2192 theG3588 witheredG3584 handG5495, “Get upG1453 andG2532 standG2476 amongG1519G3588G3319 us.” SoG2532 he got upG450 and stoodG2476 there.

9ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “I askG1905 youG4771, whichG1487 is lawfulG1832 on theG3588 SabbathG4521: to do goodG15 orG2228 to do evilG2554, to saveG4982 lifeG5590 orG2228 to destroyG622 it?” 10AndG2532 after looking aroundG4017 at allG3956 of themG846, He saidG2036 toG846 the man, “Stretch outG1614 yourG4771 handG5495.” He didG4160 so, andG2532 it was restoredG600.

11ButG1161 the scribes and Pharisees were filledG4130 with rageG454 andG2532 began to discussG1255 withG4314 one anotherG240 whatG5101G302 they might doG4160 to JesusG2424.

The Twelve Apostles

(Matthew 10:1–4; Mark 3:13–19)

InG1722 thoseG3778 daysG2250 Jesus went outG846G1831 toG1519 theG3588 mountainG3735 to prayG4336, andG2532 He spent the nightG1510G1273 inG1722 prayerG4335 to GodG2316. 13WhenG3753 daylightG2250 cameG1096, He calledG4377 HisG846 disciples to HimG3101 andG2532 choseG1586 twelveG1427 ofG575 themG846, whomG3739 He also designated asG3687 apostlesG652: 14SimonG4613, whomG3739 He namedG3687 PeterG4074, andG2532 hisG846 brotherG80 AndrewG406; JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491; PhilipG5376 andG2532 BartholomewG918; 15MatthewG3156 andG2532 ThomasG2381; JamesG2385 son of AlphaeusG256 andG2532 SimonG4613 calledG2564 the ZealotG2207; 16JudasG2455 son of JamesG2385, andG2532 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, whoG3739 becameG1096 a traitorG4273.

Jesus Heals the Multitudes

(Matthew 4:23–25; Mark 3:7–12)

17ThenG2532 Jesus came downG2597 withG3326 themG846 and stoodG2476 onG1909 a levelG3977 placeG5117. A largeG4183 crowdG3793 of HisG846 disciplesG3101 was there, along withG2532 a greatG4183 numberG4128 ofG3588 peopleG2992 fromG575 all overG3956 JudeaG2449, JerusalemG2419, andG2532 theG3588 seacoastG3882 of TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605. 18TheyG3739 had comeG2064 to hearG191 HimG846 andG2532 to be healedG2390 ofG575 theirG846 diseasesG3554, andG2532 thoseG3588 troubledG1776 byG575 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 were healedG2323. 19TheG3588 entireG3956 crowdG3793 was tryingG2212 to touchG680 HimG846, becauseG3754 powerG1411 was comingG1831 fromG3844 HimG846 andG2532 healingG2390 them allG3956.

The Beatitudes

(Psalm 1:1–6; Matthew 5:3–12)

Looking upG1869G846G3588G3788 atG1519 HisG846 disciplesG3101, Jesus saidG2036:

22BlessedG3107 are youG1510 whenG3752 peopleG444 hateG3404 youG4771, andG2532 whenG3752 they excludeG873 you andG2532 insultG3679 youG4771 andG2532 rejectG1544 yourG4771 nameG3686 asG5613 evilG4190 because ofG1752 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444.

Woes to the Satisfied

(Amos 6:1–7)

23RejoiceG5463 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 andG2532 leap for joyG4640, becauseG1063G2400 greatG4183 is yourG4771 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772. ForG1063 theirG846 fathersG3962 treatedG4160 theG3588 prophetsG4396 in the same wayG2596G3588G846.

Love Your Enemies

(Matthew 5:38–48)

27ButG235 to those of youG4771 whoG3588 will listenG191, I sayG3004: LoveG25 yourG4771 enemiesG2190, doG4160 goodG2573 to those whoG3588 hateG3404 youG4771, 28blessG2127 those whoG3588 curseG2672 youG4771, prayG4336 forG4012 those whoG3588 mistreatG1908 youG4771. 29If someone strikesG5180 youG4771 onG1909 one cheekG4600, turnG3930 to himG3588 theG3588 otherG243 alsoG2532. AndG2532 if someone takesG142 yourG4771 cloakG2440, do notG3361 withholdG2967 your tunicG5509 as wellG2532. 30GiveG1325 to everyone whoG3956 asksG154 youG4771, andG2532 if anyone takesG142 whatG3588 is yoursG4674, do notG3361 demand it backG523. 31DoG4160 toG846 others asG2531 you would haveG2309 them doG4160 to youG4771.

32

IfG1487 you loveG25 those whoG3588 loveG25 youG4771, whatG4169 creditG5485 is thatG1510 to youG4771? EvenG2532 sinnersG268 loveG25 those whoG3588 loveG25 themG846. 33IfG1437 you do goodG15 to those whoG3588 do good toG15 youG4771, whatG4169 creditG5485 is thatG1510 to youG4771? EvenG2532 sinnersG268 doG4160 theG3588 sameG846. 34AndG2532 ifG1437 you lendG1155 to those fromG3844 whomG3739 you expectG1679 repaymentG2983, whatG4169 creditG5485 is thatG1510 to youG4771? EvenG2532 sinnersG268 lendG1155 to sinnersG268, expectingG2443 to be repaidG618 in fullG2470.

35ButG4133 loveG25 yourG4771 enemiesG2190, do goodG15 to them, andG2532 lendG1155 to them, expecting nothing in returnG560G3367. ThenG2532 yourG4771 rewardG3408 will beG1510 greatG4183, andG2532 you will beG1510 sons ofG5207 the Most HighG5310; forG3754 HeG846 isG1510 kindG5543 toG1909 theG3588 ungratefulG884 andG2532 wickedG4190. 36BeG1096 mercifulG3629, justG2532 asG2531 yourG4771 FatherG3962 isG1510 mercifulG3629.

37

Judging Others

(Matthew 7:1–6; Romans 14:1–12)

Do notG3361 judgeG2919, andG2532 you will not be judgedG3756G3361G2919. Do notG3361 condemnG2613, andG2532 you will not be condemnedG3756G3361G2613. ForgiveG630, andG2532 you will be forgivenG630. 38GiveG1325, andG2532 it will be givenG1325 to youG4771. A goodG2570 measureG3358, pressed downG4085, shaken togetherG4531, and running overG5240 will be pouredG1325 intoG1519 yourG4771 lapG2859. ForG1063 with theG3739 measureG3358 youG3354 use, it will be measured backG488 to youG4771.”

39

Jesus also toldG2036G2532 themG846 a parableG3850: “CanG1410 a blindG5185 man leadG3385G3594 a blindG5185 man? Will they notG3780 bothG297 fallG1706 intoG1519 a pitG999? 40A discipleG3101 isG1510 notG3756 aboveG5228 his teacherG1320, butG1161 everyoneG3956 who is fully trainedG2675 will beG1510 likeG5613 hisG846 teacherG1320.

41

WhyG5101 do you look atG991 theG3588 speckG2595 inG1722 yourG4771 brother’sG80 eyeG3788 butG1161 failG3756 to noticeG2657 the beamG1385 inG1722 your ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42HowG4459 can youG1410 sayG3004, ‘BrotherG80,3 letG863 me takeG1544 theG3588 speckG2595 outG3588 ofG1722 yourG4771 eyeG3788,’ while you yourselfG846 fail to seeG3756G991 the beamG1385 inG1722 your ownG4771 eyeG3788? You hypocriteG5273! FirstG4412 takeG1544 theG3588 beamG1385 out ofG1537 yourG4771 ownG3588 eyeG3788, andG2532 thenG5119 you will see clearlyG1227 to removeG1544 theG3588 speckG2595 fromG1722 yourG4771 brother’sG80 eyeG3788.

A Tree and Its Fruit

(Matthew 7:15–23; Matthew 12:33–37)

NoG3756 goodG2570 treeG1186 bearsG4160 badG4550 fruitG2590, norG3761 does a badG4550 treeG1186 bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 44ForG1063 eachG1538 treeG1186 is knownG1097 byG1537 itsG3588 ownG2398 fruitG2590. IndeedG1063, figsG3756G4810 are not gatheredG4816 fromG1537 thornbushesG173, norG3761 grapesG4718 fromG1537 bramblesG942. 45TheG3588 goodG18 manG444 bringsG4393 goodG18 thingsG3588 out ofG1537 theG3588 goodG18 treasureG2344 ofG3588 hisG846 heartG2588, andG2532 theG3588 evilG4190 man bringsG4393 evilG4190 things out ofG1537 theG3588 evilG4190 treasure of his heart. ForG1063 out ofG1537 the overflowG4051 of the heartG2588 theG3588 mouthG4750 speaksG2980.

The House on the Rock

(Matthew 7:24–27)

WhyG5101 do you callG2564 MeG1473 ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ but do notG3756 doG4160 whatG3739 I sayG3004? 47I will showG5263 youG4771 whatG5101 he isG1510 likeG3664 whoG3588 comesG2064 toG4314 MeG1473 andG2532 hearsG191 MyG1473 wordsG3056 andG2532 acts onG4160 themG846: 48He isG1510 likeG3664 a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, whoG3739 dug downG4626 deepG900 andG2532 laidG5087 his foundationG2310 onG1909 theG3588 rockG4073. WhenG1161 the floodG4132 cameG1096, theG3588 torrentG4215 crashed againstG4366 thatG1565 houseG3614 butG2532 couldG2480 notG3756 shakeG4531 itG846, becauseG1223 itG846 was well builtG3618G2573.4

49ButG1161 theG3588 one who hearsG191 My words andG2532 does notG3361 act on themG4160 isG1510 likeG3664 a manG444 who builtG3618 his houseG3614 onG1909 groundG1093 withoutG5565 a foundationG2310. TheG3588 torrentG4215 crashed againstG4366 that house, andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it fellG4098—andG2532 greatG3173 wasG1096 its destructionG4485!”
