Chapter 6 |
|
1 | And it came to pass on the second
sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his
disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their
hands. |
| 2 |
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? |
| 3 | And Jesus
answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when
himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; |
| 4 | How he went
into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to
them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests
alone? |
| 5 |
And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath. |
| 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
withered. |
| 7
| And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he
would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against
him. |
| 8 |
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the
withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood
forth. |
| 9 |
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it
lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to
destroy it? |
|
10 | And looking round about upon them all, he said unto
the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole
as the other. |
|
11 | And they were filled with madness; and communed one
with another what they might do to Jesus. |
|
12 | And it came to pass in
those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God. |
| 13 | And when it was day, he called unto him his
disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; |
| 14 |
Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John,
Philip and Bartholomew, |
| 15 | Matthew and Thomas, James the son of
Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, |
| 16 | And Judas the brother of
James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. |
| 17 | And he came
down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a
great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea
coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases; |
| 18
| And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and 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 on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is
the kingdom of God. |
| 21 | Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall
be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. |
| 22 |
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from
their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the
Son of man's sake. |
| 23 | Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy:
for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets. |
|
24 | But woe unto you that are rich! for ye
have received your consolation. |
| 25 | Woe unto you that are full!
for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and
weep. |
| 26 |
Woe unto you, when all men shall 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 good to them which hate you, |
| 28 | Bless
them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. |
| 29 |
And unto him that smiteth 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 ask
them not again. |
|
31 | And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye
also to them likewise. |
| 32 | For if ye love them which love you, what
thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. |
| 33 | And if
ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also
do even 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 as
much again. |
|
35 | But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend,
hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful 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 shall be forgiven: |
| 38 |
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured 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
every one that is perfect shall be as his master. |
| 41 | And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest 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
thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast
out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to
pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. |
| 43 | For a good
tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. |
|
44 | For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of
thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
|
| 45 | A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth
speaketh. |
| 46
| And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say? |
|
47 | Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and
doeth them, I will shew 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 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 doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house
upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately
it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. |
