Luke

1 And it came to pass on the sec­ond sab­bath af­ter the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his dis­ci­ples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rub­bing them in their hands. 2 And cer­tain of the Phar­isees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not law­ful to do on the sab­bath days? 3 And Je­sus an­swer­ing them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when him­self was an hun­gred, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shew­bread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not law­ful to eat but for the priests alone? 5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sab­bath. 6 And it came to pass also on an­oth­er sab­bath, that he en­tered into the syn­a­gogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was with­ered. 7 And the scribes and Phar­isees watched him, whether he would heal on the sab­bath day; that they might find an ac­cu­sa­tion against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the with­ered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then said Je­sus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it law­ful on the sab­bath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to de­stroy it? 10 And look­ing round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was re­stored whole as the oth­er. 11 And they were filled with mad­ness; and com­muned one with an­oth­er what they might do to Je­sus. 12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a moun­tain to pray, and con­tin­ued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, he called un­to him his dis­ci­ples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apos­tles; 14 Si­mon, (whom he also named Pe­ter, ) and An­drew his broth­er, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Al­phaeus, and Si­mon called Zelotes, 16 And Ju­das the brother of James, and Ju­das Is­car­i­ot, which also was the traitor. 17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the com­pa­ny of his dis­ci­ples, and a great mul­ti­tude of peo­ple out of all Ju­daea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their dis­eases; 18 And they that were vexed with un­clean spir­its: and they were healed. 19 And the whole mul­ti­tude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 20 And he lift­ed up his eyes on his dis­ci­ples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the king­dom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall sep­a­rate you from their company, and shall re­proach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Re­joice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, be­hold, your re­ward is great in heav­en: for in the like man­ner did their fa­thers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have re­ceived your con­so­la­tion. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fa­thers to the false prophets. 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your en­e­mies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which de­spite­ful­ly use you. 29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek of­fer also the oth­er; and him that taketh away thy cloke for­bid not ­to take thy coat al­so. 30 Give to ev­ery man that as­keth of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them like­wise. 32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sin­ners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sin­ners also do even the same. 34 And if ye lend ­to them of whom ye hope to re­ceive, what thank have ye? for sin­ners also lend to sin­ners, to re­ceive as much again. 35 But love ye your en­e­mies, and do good, and lend, hop­ing for noth­ing again; and your re­ward shall be great, and ye shall be the chil­dren of the High­est: for he is kind unto the un­thank­ful and to the evil. 36 Be ye there­fore mer­ci­ful, as your Fa­ther also is mer­ci­ful. 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: con­demn not, and ye shall not be con­demned: for­give, and ye shall be for­giv­en: 38 Give, and it shall be giv­en unto you; good mea­sure, pressed down, and shak­en to­geth­er, and run­ning over, shall men give into your bo­som. For with the same mea­sure that ye mete with­al it shall be mea­sured to you again. 39 And he spake a para­ble unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The dis­ci­ple is not above his mas­ter: but ev­ery one that is per­fect shall be as his mas­ter. 41 And why be­hold­est thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but per­ceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Ei­ther how canst thou say to thy broth­er, Broth­er, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thy­self be­hold­est not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hyp­ocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clear­ly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth cor­rupt fruit; nei­ther doth a cor­rupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For ev­ery tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gath­er figs, nor of a bram­ble bush gath­er they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good trea­sure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil trea­sure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abun­dance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whoso­ev­er cometh to me, and heareth my say­ings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foun­da­tion on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat ve­he­ment­ly upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was found­ed upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that with­out a foun­da­tion built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat ve­he­ment­ly, and im­me­di­ate­ly it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
