Luke 6
6One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.G1161G1096G1722G1207G4521G1207G846G1279G1223G4702G2532G846G3101G5089G4719G2532G2068G5597G54952Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"G1161G5100G5330G2036G846G5101G4160G3739G1832G3756G1832G4160G1722G45213Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?G2532G2424G611G4314G846G2036G314G3761G314G3761G5124G3739G1138G4160G3698G846G3983G2532G3588G5607G3326G8464He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."G5613G1525G1519G3624G2316G2532G2983G2532G5315G740G4286G2532G1325G2532G3326G846G3739G1832G3756G1832G5315G1508G2409G34415Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."G2532G3004G846G3754G5207G444G2076G2962G2532G45216On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled.G1161G1096G2532G1722G2087G4521G846G1525G1519G4864G2532G1321G2532G1563G2258G444G2532G846G1188G5495G2258G35847The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.G1161G1122G2532G5330G3906G846G1487G2323G1722G4521G2443G2147G2724G8468But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there.G1161G846G1492G846G1261G2532G2036G444G3588G2192G3584G5495G1453G2532G2476G1519G3319G1161G450G24769Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"G3767G2036G2424G4314G846G1905G5209G5101G1832G4521G15G2228G2554G4982G5590G2228G62210He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored.G2532G4017G846G3956G2036G444G1614G4675G5495G1161G4160G3779G2532G846G5495G600G5199G5613G24311But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.G1161G846G4130G454G2532G1255G4314G240G5101G302G4160G242412One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.G1161G1096G1722G5025G2250G1831G1519G3735G4336G2532G1273G2258G1722G4335G231613When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:G2532G3753G1096G2250G4377G846G3101G2532G575G846G1586G1427G3739G2532G3687G65214Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,G4613G3739G2532G3687G4074G2532G406G846G80G2385G2532G2491G5376G2532G91815Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot,G3156G2532G2381G2385G3588G256G2532G4613G2564G220816Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.G2455G2385G2532G2455G2469G3739G2532G1096G427317He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon,G2532G2597G3326G846G2476G1909G3977G5117G2532G3793G846G3101G2532G4183G4128G2992G575G3956G2449G2532G2419G2532G3882G5184G2532G4605G3739G2064G191G846G2532G2390G575G846G355418who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by evil spirits were cured,G2532G3791G5259G169G4151G2532G232319and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.G2532G3956G3793G2212G680G846G3754G1831G1411G3844G846G2532G2390G395620Looking at his disciples, he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.G2532G846G1869G846G3788G1519G846G3101G3004G3107G4434G3754G5212G2076G932G231621Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.G3107G3983G3568G3754G5526G3107G2799G3568G3754G107022Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.G3107G2075G3752G444G3404G5209G2532G3752G873G5209G2532G3679G2532G1544G5216G3686G5613G4190G5207G444G175223"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.G5463G1722G1565G2250G2532G4640G1063G2400G5216G3408G4183G1722G3772G1063G2596G5024G4160G846G3962G439624"But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.G4133G3759G5213G4145G3754G568G5216G387425Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.G3759G5213G1705G3754G3983G3759G5213G1070G3568G3754G3996G2532G279926Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.G3759G5213G3752G3956G444G2036G2573G5209G1063G5024G2596G4160G846G3962G557827"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,G235G3004G5213G3588G191G25G5216G2190G4160G2573G3588G3404G520928bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.G2127G2672G5213G2532G4336G5228G1908G520929If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.G5180G4571G1909G4600G3930G2532G243G2532G575G142G4675G2440G2967G3361G5509G253230Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.G1161G1325G3956G154G4571G2532G575G142G4674G523G3361G52331Do to others as you would have them do to you.G2532G2531G2309G2443G444G4160G5213G4160G5210G2532G846G366832"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them.G2532G1487G25G25G5209G4169G5485G2076G5213G1063G268G2532G25G25G84633And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that.G2532G1437G15G15G5209G4169G5485G2076G5213G1063G268G4160G2532G84634And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.G2532G1437G1155G3844G3739G1679G1679G618G4169G5485G2076G5213G1063G268G2532G1155G268G2443G618G2470G61835But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.G4133G25G5216G2190G2532G15G2532G1155G560G3367G560G2532G5216G3408G2071G4183G2532G2071G5207G5310G3754G846G2076G5543G1909G884G2532G419036Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.G1096G3767G3629G2531G5216G3962G2532G2076G362937"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.G2532G2919G3361G2532G2919G3364G2919G2613G3361G2532G2613G3364G2613G630G2532G63038Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."G1325G2532G1325G5213G2570G3358G4085G2532G4531G2532G5240G1325G1519G5216G2859G1063G846G3358G3739G3354G488G5213G48839He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?G1161G2036G3850G846G3385G1410G5185G3594G5185G297G3780G297G4098G1519G99940A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.G3101G2076G3756G5228G846G1320G1161G3956G2675G2071G5613G846G132041"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?G1161G5101G991G2595G1722G4675G80G3788G1161G2657G3756G1385G1722G2398G378842How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.G2228G4459G1410G3004G4675G80G80G863G1544G2595G1722G4675G3788G991G846G991G3756G1385G1722G4675G3788G5273G1544G4412G1385G1537G4675G3788G2532G5119G1227G1544G2595G1722G4675G80G378843"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.G1063G2570G1186G2076G4160G3756G4160G4550G2590G3761G4160G4550G1186G4160G2570G259044Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.G1063G1538G1186G1097G1537G2398G2590G1063G1537G173G3756G4816G4810G3761G1537G942G5166G471845The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.G18G444G1537G18G2344G846G2588G4393G18G2532G4190G444G1537G4190G2344G846G2588G4393G4190G1063G1537G4051G2588G846G4750G298046"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?G1161G5101G2564G3165G2962G2962G2532G4160G3756G3739G300447I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.G3956G2064G4314G3165G2532G191G3450G3056G2532G4160G846G5263G5213G5101G2076G366448He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.G2076G3664G444G3739G3618G3614G2532G4626G900G2532G5087G2310G1909G4073G1161G4132G1096G4215G4366G1565G3614G2532G2480G3756G4531G846G1063G2311G1909G407349But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."G1161G191G2532G4160G3361G2076G3664G444G5565G2310G3618G3614G1909G1093G4366G3739G4215G4366G2532G2112G4098G2532G4485G1565G3614G1096G3173
