Luke 6

3 Christ standeth in his disciples defence and his own, as touching the breache of the Sabbath 12 After watching and prayer he electeth his Apostles 18 He healeth and teacheth the people 20 He sheweth who are blessed 27 To love our enemies. 37 Not to judge rashly, 41 And to avoid hyprocrisy.
1.And *it came to pass on the second aSabbath, after the first, that he went through the corn fields, & his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, and rubbe them in their hands.
2.And certain of the Pharises said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath days?
3.Then Jesus answered them, and said, *Have ye not read this, that David did when he him self was an hungred, and they which were with him,
4.How he went into the house of God, and took, and ate the shewe bread, and gave also to them which were with him, which was not lawful to eat, but for the *Priests only?
5.And he said unto them, The Son of man is bLord also of the Sabbath day.
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 dryed up.
7.And the Scribes and Pharises watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day, that they might find an accusation him.
8.But he knewe their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Arise, and stand up in the middes. And he arose, and stood up.
9.Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question, Whether is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save ^life, or to destroy it?
10.And he beheld them all in compass, and said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored again, as whole as the other.
11.Then they were filled full of madness, and communed one with another, what they might do to Jesus.
12.¶ And it came to pass in those days, that he went into a mountain to pray, and spent the night in prayer to God.
13.*And when it was day, he called his disciples, and of them he chose ctwelve, which he also called dApostles.
14.(Simon whom he named also Peter, and Andrewe his brother, James and John, Phillippe, and Bartlemewe:
15.Matthewe, and Thomas: James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous,
16.Judas James’ brother, and Judas Iscariot, which also was a traytour.)
17.Then he came down with them, & stood in ^a plain place, with the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea, and Jerusalem, & from the sea coast of Tyrus & Sidon, which came to hear him, & to be healed of their diseases:
18.And they that were vexed with foul spirits, & 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 upon his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye epoor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21.*Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shalbe satisfied: blessed are ye that *weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22.*Blessed are ye when men hate you, and when fthey separate you, and revile you, and put out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23.Rejoice ye in that day, and be gglad: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for after this manner their fathers did to the Prophets.
24.*But wo be to you that are hrich: for ye have received your consolation.
25.*Wo be to you that are full: for ye shall hunger. Wo be to you that now hlaugh: for ye shal wail and weep.
26.Wo be to you when all kmen 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 well to them which hate you.
28.Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which hurt you.
29.*And unto him that lsmiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other: *and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
30.Give to every man that asketh of thee: and of him that taketh away thy goods, mask them not again.
31.*And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye to them likewise.
32.*For if ye love them which love you, what thank shall ye have? for even the nsinners love those that love them.
33.And if ye do good for them which do good for you, what thank shall ye have? for even the sinners do the same.
34.*And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank shall ye have? for even the sinners lend to sinners, to sinners, to receive the like.
35.Wherefore love ye your enemies, & do good, & lend, olooking for nothing again, and your reward shalbe great, and ye shalbe the children of *the most High: for he is kind unto the unkind, 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 shalbe forgiven.
38.Give, and it shalbe given unto you: *a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom: for with what measure ye mette, with the same shall men mette 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 whosoever wilbe a perfect disciple, shall be as his master.
41.*And why pseest thou a mote in thy brother’s eye, and considerest 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 seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, cast out the beam out of thine own eye first, and then shalt thou see perfectly, to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43.*For it is not a good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit: neither an evil tree, that bringeth forth good fruit.
44.*For every tree is knowen by his own fruit: *for neither of thorns gather men figs, not of bushes gather they grapes.
45.A qgood man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46.*But why call ye me rMaster, Master, and do not the things that I speak?
47.Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth the same, I will shewe 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 waters arose, the flood bet upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was grounded upon a rock.
49.But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the earth without foundation, against which the flood did beat, and it fell by and by: & the fall of that house was great.
