Luke 6 It happened as he was walking through cornfields on a sabbath called, second prime, that his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and having rubbed out the grains with their2 hands, began to eat.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ It happened as he was walking through cornfields on a sabbath called, second prime, that his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and having rubbed out the grains with their2 hands, began to eat. ² Upon which some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on sabbath days? ³ Thereupon Jesus addressing them, said, Have you never read what David did, when he and his attendants were hungry? ⁴ How he went to the house of God, and took the presence loaves and ate thereof and gave to his attendants, which none but the priests are allowed to eat. ⁵ Then he told them that the son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. ⁶ It happened also on another sabbath, when he went to the synagogue and taught, that there was a man there, whose right hand was withered. ⁷ And the Scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would perform a cure on the sabbath day, that they might find matter of accusation against him. ⁸ Now he knew their thoughts. Therefore when he had said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise and stand in the midst; and he had risen, and was standing there; ⁹ Jesus said to them, Let me ask you what is allowable on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy"? ¹⁰ Then having looked around on them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so. And his hand was restored sound as the other. ¹¹ Upon this they were filled with madness, and spoke one to another what they should do to Jesus. ¹² Now about that time he went out to the mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in a place set apart for prayer to God. ¹³ And when it was day, he called together his disciples, and out of them chose twelve, whom he named Apostles ¹⁴ Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon, surnamed Zelotes, ¹⁶ Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, even he who was a traitor. ¹⁷ And having come down with them, he stopped in a plain, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases ¹⁸ Even they who were infested by unclean spirits were also cured. ¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch him, because power went forth from him, and healed all. ²⁰ Then lifting up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Happy ye who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours! ²¹ Happy ye, who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied! Happy ye, who weep now; for you will laugh! ²² Happy are you, when men will hate you; even when they will discard and reproach you, and expose your name as infamous on the account of the son of man; ²³ rejoice on that day and leap for joy; for behold your reward in heaven is great; for thus their fathers treated the prophets. ²⁴ But alas! for you who are rich, for you are receiving your consolation. ²⁵ Alas for you who are filled; for you shall hunger. Alas for you who laugh now; for you shall mourn and weep. ²⁶ Alas for you, when all men speak well of you; for thus their fathers did to the false prophets. ²⁷ But I charge you, my hearers, Love your enemies. Do good to them who hate you. ²⁸ Bless them who curse you; and pray for them who spitefully abuse you. ²⁹ To him who smiteth thee on one cheek, present also the other. And from him who taketh thy mantle, withhold not thy coat. ³⁰ Give to every one who asketh thee. And from him who taketh away thy goods, do not demand them back. ³¹ And as you wish men to do to you, do ye even so to them. ³² If you indeed love them who love you, what thanks are you entitled to. For even sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are you entitled to? For even sinners do the same. ³⁴ And if you lend to them from whom you hope to receives what thanks are you entitled to. For even sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive as much in return. ³⁵ But love your enemies; and do good; and lend without any mistrust, and your reward will be great. And you will be the children of the Most High Because he is kind, even to the ungrateful and malignant; ³⁶ be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ³⁷ Furthermore, judge not, that so you may not be judged. Condemn not, that so you may not be condemned. Forgive; and you shall be forgiven. ³⁸ Give; and to you will be given; into your lap there shall be given good measure, pressed down and shaken and running over. For with the same measure with which you mete to others, you shall have measure returned to you. ³⁹ Then he spake a parable to them; Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? ⁴⁰ A scholar is not above his teacher. But every one will be instructed as his teacher is. ⁴¹ Now why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the splinter which is in thine own eye? ⁴² Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Hold, brother, Let me take out the mote which is in thine eye, not considering that there is a splinter in thine own eye? Hypocrite, first take the splinter out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote which is in thy brother's eye. ⁴³ That indeed is not a good tree which beareth bad fruit; nor is that a bad tree which beareth good fruit. ⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns; nor grapes from a bramble bush. ⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good. And the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is bad. For from the overflowing of the heart the mouth speaketh. ⁴⁶ Now why do you call me, master, master, when ye do not what I command? ⁴⁷ With regard to every one who cometh to me, and hearkeneth to my words, and doth them, I will tell you to whom he is like. ⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who digged deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the current beat against that house, but could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock. ⁴⁹ But he who hath heard and hath not practised, is like a man who built a house on the ground, without a foundation, against which the current beat impetuously, and presently it fell. And great was the ruin of that house.
