Whiston(i)
1 And it came to pass on the first sabbath after the second [day of the passover,] that he went through the cornfields: But his disciples began to pluck the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing with [their] hands.
2 But certain of the Pharisees said unto him, see what thy disciples do on the sabbath, which is not lawful.
3 But Jesus answering said unto them, Have ye never read this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and those with him:
4 How he went into the house of God, and did eat the shew-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 On the same day seeing one working on the sabbath, he said unto him, Man, If thou knowest what thou doest, thou art blessed: But if thou dost not know thou art [cursed,] and art a transgressor of the law.
6 And when he entered again into the synagogue on the sabbath, there was a man who had a withered hand,
7 The scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal, that they might find to accuse him.
8 But he knowing their thoughts, saith to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.
9 But Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil?to save life, or to destroy [it]?But they held their peace.
10 And looking round about upon them all, in anger, he saith unto the man, stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored whole as the other also. And he said unto them, that the son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
11 And they were filled with madness; and reasoned one with another, how they might destroy him.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in an Oratory of God.
13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he called Apostles;
14 First Simon whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John his brother; whom he also named Boanerges, which is sons of Thunder: And Philip, and Bartholomew,
15 And Matthew, and Thomas, who was also called Didymus; and James [the son] of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16 And Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Scarioth, who also was the traitor.
17 And he came down with them and stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and other cities, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed all.
20 And he again lifted up his eyes upon the disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed [are] ye that hunger now[:] for ye shall be filled.
22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate [you,] and shall reproach [you,] and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of mans sake.
23 Rejoyce ye in that day, and leap for joy: because your reward [is] great in heaven: In the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But wo unto you that are rich: for ye have received your consolation.
25 Wo unto you that are full: for ye shall hunger. Wo unto you that laugh now for ye shall mourn and weep,
26 Wo unto you when all men shall speak well to you: In like manner did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you:
28 Bless them that curse you, pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek, offer also to him the other: and from him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not thy coat also.
30 Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, require [them] not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them.
32 For if ye love them who love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do this.
33 And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do 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 again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, desponding nothing: and your reward shall be great and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful, and the evil.
36 Be ye merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, that ye may not be judged: condemn not, that ye may not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye measure shall be measured to you again.
39 But 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 the master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but perceived not the beam that is in thine eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to [thy] brother, Let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye; and behold a beam is in thine eye?Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
43 A good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruits: neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruits.
44 Every tree is known by its own fruit: for of thorns figs are not gathered, nor of a bramble gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good: An evil man bringeth forth evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh,
46 And why say ye to me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man who built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock: but 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 doth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the ground, against which the stream did beat vehemently, and it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
