The Gospel of Luke 6

6 And it happened that, on a Sabbath he was going through grainfields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?” 3 And answering them, Jesus said, “Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and the ones being with him: 4 how he went into the house of God and took the loaves of the presence, ate it, and gave it to the ones with him, which is not lawful to eat except only for the priests?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6 And it happened that, on another Sabbath, he entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 7 But the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely, if he will heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thinking and he said to the man having the withered hand, “Get up, and stand in the midst.” So he got up and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you if it is lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to destroy?” 10 And having looked around at them all, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with rage and they were talking to each other about what they might do to Jesus.

12 And it happened that, in those days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he was spending the whole night in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, he called his disciples, and he chose 12 from them, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; 15 and Matthew and Thomas; and James son of Alphaeus; and Simon, the one called the Zealot; 16 and Judas son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. 17 And having come down with them, he stood on a level place with a large crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had come to listen to him and to be healed from their diseases. And the ones being troubled by unclean spirits were being healed. 19 And the whole crowd was seeking to touch him because power was coming out from him and healing everyone.

20 And he, having lifted up his eyes upon his disciples, said, “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are the ones being hungry now, for you will be fed. Blessed are the ones weeping now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers did according to the same things to the prophets. 24 But woe to you, the rich, for you have received your comfort. 25 Woe to you, the ones being filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to the ones laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did according to the same things to the false prophets.

27 But I say to you, the ones listening, love your enemies and do good to the ones hating you. 28 Bless the ones cursing you and pray for the ones mistreating you. 29 To the one striking you on the cheek, offer also the other, and from the one taking away your cloak, also do not withhold your tunic. 30 Give to everyone asking you, and from the one taking away what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 And as you desire that men would do to you, do the same to them. 32 And if you love the ones loving you, what credit is that to you? For even the sinners love the ones loving them. 33 For if indeed you do good to the ones doing good to you, what credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to the ones from whom you expect to receive back, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may receive back the same things. 35 But love your enemies and do good to them, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind toward the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37 And do not judge, and you will certainly not be judged. And do not condemn, and you will certainly not be condemned. Release, and you will be released. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, spilling over—they will pour into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure, it will be measured back to you.”

39 Then he also told them a parable. “A blind one is not able to guide a blind one, is he? Would not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone having been fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 And why do you look at the speck of wood that is in the eye of your brother, but you do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck of wood that is in your eye,’ you yourself not seeing the log in your eye? You hypocrite! First take out the log from your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck of wood that is in the eye of your brother. 43 For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor, on the other hand, any rotten tree that produces good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush. 45 The good man from the good treasure of his heart produces what is good, and the evil man from evil produces what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

46 And why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say? 47 Everyone coming to me and hearing my words, and doing them, I will show you what he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down and dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock. Then a flood having come, the torrent of water flowed against that house, but it could not shake it, because it had been built well. 49 But the one having heard and not having done, he is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent of water flowed, and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
