6:1And it was done: on the second-first sabbath, when he was passing through the sown fields, his disciples were plucking ears of grain, and were eating them, rubbing them with their hands. 6:2But certain of the Pharisees were saying to them: "Why are you doing what is not lawful on the sabbaths?" 6:3And answering them, Jesus said: "Have you not read this, what David did, when he himself had been hungry, and those who were with him? 6:4How he went into the house of God, and took the loaves of the presentation, and ate, and gave to those who were with him: which it is not lawful to eat except only for the priests?"
6:5And he was saying to them: "The Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath." 6:6And it was done on another sabbath that he went into the synagogue, and was teaching. 6:6And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 6:7And the scribes and Pharisees were watching whether he would cure on the sabbath, so that they might find grounds on which to accuse him. 6:8But he knew their thoughts: and he said to the man who had the withered hand: "Get up, and stand in the middle." 6:8And rising, he stood. 6:9And Jesus said to them: "I ask you whether it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or evil: to make a life safe, or to destroy it?"
6:10And having looked around at them all, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." 6:10And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored. 6:11But they were filled with folly, and were talking together to one another, what indeed they should do to Jesus. 6:12And it was done in those days: he went out onto the mountain to pray, and he was spending the night in prayer to God. 6:13And when day had come, he called his disciples: and he chose twelve from them (whom he also named apostles): Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James, and John, Philip, and Bartholomew, Matthew, and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon, who is called the Zealot, and Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the betrayer.
6:17And coming down with them, he stood in a level place, and the crowd of his disciples, and an abundant multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the sea coast, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, who had come to hear him, and to be healed of their illnesses. 6:18And those who were being troubled by unclean spirits were being cured. 6:19And the whole crowd was seeking to touch him: because power was going out from him, and was healing all. 6:20And he, his eyes having been lifted towards his disciples, was saying: "Blessed are you poor, because yours is the kingdom of God. 6:21Blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be filled.
6:21Blessed are you who weep now, because you will laugh. 6:22Blessed will you be when people hate you, and when they separate you, and reproach you, and throw out your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. 6:23Rejoice on that day, and leap for joy: for look, your reward is great in heaven: for according to these things their fathers were doing to the prophets. 6:24But woe to you who are rich, because you have your consolation. 6:25Woe to you who have been filled: because you will be hungry. 6:25Woe to you who laugh now: because you will mourn and weep. 6:26Woe when people speak well of you: for according to these things their fathers were doing to the false prophets.
6:27But to you I say, who are listening: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. 6:28Bless those cursing you, and pray for those falsely accusing you. 6:29And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other too. 6:29And from him who takes away your cloak, do not keep back your tunic too. 6:30And to everyone asking you, give: and from him who takes away the things which are yours, do not ask them back. 6:31And just as you want people to do to you, you too do likewise to them. 6:32And if you love those who love you, what thanks is there for you? 6:32For sinners too love those who love them.
6:33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks is there for you? 6:33Since sinners too do this. 6:34And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks is there for you? 6:34For sinners too lend at interest to sinners, so that they may receive back equal amounts. 6:35But love your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing from it: and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind towards the ungrateful and the wicked. 6:36So be merciful, just as your Father too is merciful. 6:37Do not judge, and you will not be judged: do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
6:37Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 6:38Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure, and pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, they will give into your lap. 6:38For with the same measure with which you have measured, it will be measured back to you." 6:39And he was also telling them a comparison: "Surely a blind man cannot lead a blind man? 6:39Do they not both fall into a pit? 6:40A disciple is not above the teacher: but everyone will be complete if he is like his teacher. 6:41And why do you see the speck in the eye of your brother, but the beam which is in your own eye you do not consider?
6:42Or how can you say to your brother: 'Brother, let me throw out the speck from your eye': you yourself not seeing the beam in your own eye? 6:42Hypocrite, throw out first the beam from your eye: and then you will see clearly to draw out the speck from the eye of your brother. 6:43For there is not a good tree which makes bad fruits: nor a bad tree making good fruit. 6:44For each tree is known from its own fruit. 6:44For they do not gather figs from thorns: nor do they harvest the grape from a bramble. 6:45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil.
6:45For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 6:46And why do you call me 'Lord, Lord': and do not do the things which I say? 6:47Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and placed the foundation on rock: and a flood having come, the river dashed against that house, and could not move it: for it had been founded on rock. 6:49But he who hears, and does not do, is like a man building his house on the ground without a foundation: against which the river dashed, and at once it fell: and the ruin of that house was great."
