Luke 6:17-49

17And then Jesus 1cameG2597 downG2597 with them and stoodG2476 on a levelG3977 placeG5117; and there was 2a largeG4183 crowdG3793 of His disciplesG3101, and a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 from allG3956 JudeaG2449 and JerusalemG2419, and the coastalG3882 regionG3882 of 3TyreG5184 and SidonG4605, 18whoG3739 had comeG2064 to hearG191 Him and to be healedG2390 of their diseasesG3554; and thoseG3588 who were troubledG1776 by uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 were being curedG2323. 19And allG3956 the 4peopleG3793 were tryingG2212 to 5touchG681 Him, becauseG3754 6powerG1411 was comingG1831 from Him and healingG2390 them allG3956.

20And He raisedG1869 His eyesG3788 towardG1519 His disciplesG3101 and began sayingG3004, “7BlessedG3107 are 8you who are poorG4434, for 9yoursG5212 is the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 21BlessedG3107 are 10you who are hungryG3983 nowG3568, for you will be satisfiedG5526. BlessedG3107 are 11you who weepG2799 nowG3568, for you will laughG1070. 2212BlessedG3107 are you whenG3752 the peopleG444 hateG3404 you, and whenG3752 they 1314excludeG873 you, and insultG3679 you, and scornG1544 your nameG3686 as evilG4190, on accountG1752 of the SonG5207 of ManG444. 23RejoiceG5463 on that dayG2250 and 15jumpG4640 for joy, for beholdG2400, your rewardG3408 is greatG4183 in heavenG3772. For their fathersG3962 used to 16treatG4160 the prophetsG4396 17the sameG846 wayG2596. 24But woeG3759 to 18you who are richG4145, for 19you are receivingG568 your comfortG3874 in fullG568. 25WoeG3759 to you who 20are well-fedG1705 nowG3568, for you will be hungryG3983. WoeG3759 to you who laughG1070 nowG3568, for you will mournG3996 and weepG2799. 26WoeG3759 to you whenG3752 allG3956 the peopleG444 speakG3004 wellG2573 of you; for their fathersG3962 used to 21treatG4160 the 22falseG5578 prophetsG5578 the sameG846 wayG2596.

27“But I sayG3004 to you who hearG191, 23loveG25 your enemiesG2190, doG4160 goodG2573 to thoseG3588 who hateG3404 you, 28blessG2127 thoseG3588 who curseG2672 you, 24prayG4336 for thoseG3588 who areG1908 abusiveG1908 to you. 2925Whoever hitsG5180 you on the cheekG4600, offerG3930 him the otherG243 alsoG2532; and whoever takesG142 awayG142 your 26cloakG2440, do not withholdG2967 your 27tunicG5509 from him eitherG2532. 30GiveG1325 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 of you, and whoever takesG142 awayG142 whatG3588 is yoursG4674, do not demandG523 it backG523. 312829TreatG4160 peopleG444 the sameG3668 wayG3668 you wantG2309 them to 30treatG4160 you. 3231IfG1487 you loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 you, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? For evenG2532 sinnersG268 loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 them. 33And ifG1437 you doG15 goodG15 to thoseG3588 who doG15 goodG15 to you, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? For evenG2532 sinnersG268 doG4160 the sameG846. 3432And ifG1437 you lendG1155 to those from whomG3739 you expectG1679 to receiveG2983, whatG4169 creditG5485 is that to you? EvenG2532 sinnersG268 lendG1155 to sinnersG268 inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 receiveG618 backG618 the sameG2470 amount. 35But 33loveG25 your enemiesG2190 and doG15 goodG15, and lendG1155, expectingG560 nothingG3367 inG560 returnG560; and your rewardG3408 will be greatG4183, and you will be 34sonsG5207 of 35the MostG5310 HighG5310; for He HimselfG846 is kindG5543 to ungratefulG884 and evilG4190 people. 3636Be mercifulG3629, justG2531 asG2531 your FatherG3962 is mercifulG3629.

37“37Do not 38judgeG2919, and you will not be judgedG2919; and do not 39condemnG2613, and you will not be condemnedG2613; 4041pardonG630, and you will be pardonedG630. 38GiveG1325, and it will be givenG1325 to you. They will 42pourG1325 43into your lapG2859 a 44goodG2570 measureG3358--pressedG4085 downG4085, shakenG4531 togetherG4531, and runningG5240 overG5240. For by your standardG3358 of measureG3354 it will be measuredG488 to you inG488 returnG488.”

39NowG1161 He alsoG2532 spokeG3004 a parableG3850 to them: “45A personG5185 whoG5185 isG5185 blindG5185 cannotG1410G3385 guideG3594 another whoG5185 isG5185 blindG5185, can he? Will they not bothG297 fallG1706 into a pitG999? 4046A 47studentG3101 is not aboveG5228 the teacherG1320; but everyoneG3956, when he has been fullyG2675 trainedG2675, will be likeG5613 his teacherG1320. 41WhyG5101 do you lookG991 at the 48speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but do not noticeG2657 the logG1385 that is in your ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42HowG4459 canG1410 you sayG3004 to your brotherG80, ‘BrotherG80, letG863 me takeG1544 outG1544 the 49speckG2595 that is in your eyeG3788,’ when you yourselfG846 do not seeG991 the logG1385 that is in your own eyeG3788? You hypocriteG5273, firstG4413 takeG1544 the logG1385 outG1544 of your own eyeG3788, and thenG5119 you will seeG1227 clearlyG1227 to takeG1544 outG1544 the 50speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788. 4351For there is noG3756 goodG2570 treeG1186 that bearsG4160 badG4550 fruitG2590, norG3761, 52on the otherG3825 handG3825, a badG4550 treeG1186 that bearsG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 4453For eachG1538 treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its ownG2398 fruitG2590. For people do not gatherG4816 figsG4810 from thornsG173, norG3761 do they pickG5166 grapesG4718 from a briarG942 bushG942. 4554The goodG18 personG444 out of the goodG18 55treasureG2344 of his heartG2588 bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG3588 isG18 goodG18; and the evilG4190 person out of the evilG4190 treasure bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG3588 is evilG4190; 56for his mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from 57that whichG4051 fillsG4051 his heartG2588.

46“NowG1161 58whyG5101 do you callG2564 Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ and do not doG4160 whatG3739 I sayG3004? 4759EveryoneG3956 who comesG2064 to Me and hearsG191 My wordsG3056 and 60actsG4160 on them, I will showG5263 you whomG5101 he is likeG3664: 48he is likeG3664 a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, whoG3739 61dugG4626 deepG900 and laidG5087 a foundationG2310 on the rockG4073; and when there was a floodG4132, the riverG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 that houseG3614 and yet it couldG2480 not shakeG4531 it, becauseG1223 it had been wellG2573 builtG3618. 49But the one who has heardG191 and has not actedG4160 accordingly is likeG3664 a manG444 who builtG3618 a houseG3614 on the groundG1093 withoutG5565 a foundationG2310; and the riverG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 it and it immediatelyG2117 collapsedG4844, and the ruinG4485 of that houseG3614 was greatG3173.”
