1Avvenne che in un giorno di sabato egli passava per i campi di grano. I suoi discepoli strappavano delle spighe e, sfregandole con le mani, mangiavano il grano.2E alcuni farisei dissero: «Perché fate ciò che non è lecito di sabato?»3Gesù rispose loro: «Non avete mai letto ciò che fece Davide, quando ebbe fame, egli e coloro che erano con lui?4{Come} egli entrò nella casa di Dio e prese i pani di presentazione, ne mangiò e ne diede a quelli che erano con lui, benché non sia lecito mangiarne se non ai soli sacerdoti?»5E diceva loro: «Il Figlio dell’uomo è signore del sabato».
Gesù guarisce un uomo di sabato
6Un altro sabato egli entrò nella sinagoga e si mise a insegnare. C’era lì un uomo che aveva la mano destra paralizzata.7Gli scribi e i farisei lo osservavano per vedere se avrebbe fatto una guarigione di sabato, per trovare di che accusarlo.8Ma egli conosceva i loro pensieri e disse all’uomo che aveva la mano paralizzata: «Àlzati e mettiti in mezzo!» Ed egli, alzatosi, stette in piedi.9Poi Gesù disse loro: «Io domando a voi: è lecito, di sabato, far del bene o far del male? Salvare una persona o ucciderla?»10E, girato lo sguardo intorno su tutti loro, disse all’uomo: «Stendi la mano!» Egli lo fece e la sua mano fu guarita.11Ed essi furono pieni di furore e discutevano tra di loro su quello che avrebbero potuto fare a Gesù.
Gesù sceglie i dodici apostoli
12In quei giorni egli andò sul monte a pregare, e passò la notte in preghiera a Dio.13Quando fu giorno, chiamò a sé i suoi discepoli e ne scelse dodici, ai quali diede anche il nome di apostoli:14Simone, che chiamò anche Pietro, e suo fratello Andrea; Giacomo e Giovanni; Filippo e Bartolomeo;15Matteo e Tommaso; Giacomo, figlio d'Alfeo, e Simone, chiamato Zelota[1];16Giuda, figlio di Giacomo, e Giuda Iscariota[2], che divenne traditore.
Gesù istruisce i discepoli
17Sceso con loro, si fermò in un luogo pianeggiante, dove si trovava una gran folla di suoi discepoli e un gran numero di persone di tutta la Giudea, di Gerusalemme e della costa di Tiro e di Sidone,18i quali erano venuti per udirlo e per essere guariti dalle loro malattie. Anche quelli che erano tormentati da spiriti immondi erano guariti.19E tutta la folla cercava di toccarlo, perché da lui usciva un potere che guariva tutti.20Egli, alzati gli occhi verso i suoi discepoli, diceva: «Beati voi che siete poveri, perché il regno di Dio è vostro.21Beati voi che ora avete fame, perché sarete saziati. Beati voi che ora piangete, perché riderete.22Beati voi, quando gli uomini vi odieranno, e quando vi scacceranno, vi insulteranno e metteranno al bando il vostro nome come malvagio, a motivo del Figlio dell’uomo.23Rallegratevi in quel giorno e saltate di gioia, perché, ecco, il vostro premio è grande in cielo; perché i loro padri facevano lo stesso ai profeti.24Ma guai a voi, ricchi, perché avete già la vostra consolazione.25Guai a voi che ora siete sazi, perché avrete fame. Guai che ora ridete, perché farete cordoglio e piangerete.26Guai a voi quando tutti gli uomini diranno bene di voi, perché i loro padri facevano lo stesso con i falsi profeti.27Ma a voi che ascoltate, io dico: amate i vostri nemici; fate del bene a quelli che vi odiano;28benedite quelli che vi maledicono, pregate per quelli che vi oltraggiano.29A chi ti percuote su una guancia, porgigli anche l’altra, e a chi ti toglie il mantello non impedire di prenderti anche la tunica.30Da’ a chiunque ti chiede, e a chi ti toglie il tuo, non glielo ridomandare.31E come volete che gli uomini facciano a voi, così fate a loro.32Se amate quelli che vi amano, quale grazia ne avete? Anche i peccatori amano quelli che li amano.33E se fate del bene a quelli che vi fanno del bene, quale grazia ne avete? Anche i peccatori fanno lo stesso.34E se prestate a quelli dai quali sperate di ricevere, quale grazia ne avete? Anche i peccatori prestano ai peccatori per riceverne altrettanto.35Ma amate i vostri nemici, fate del bene, prestate senza sperarne nulla, e il vostro premio sarà grande e sarete figli dell’Altissimo; poiché egli è buono verso gli ingrati e i malvagi.36Siate misericordiosi come è misericordioso {anche} il Padre vostro.37Non giudicate e non sarete giudicati; non condannate e non sarete condannati; perdonate e vi sarà perdonato.38Date e vi sarà dato; vi sarà versata in seno una buona misura, pigiata, scossa, traboccante; perché con la misura con cui misurate, sarà rimisurato a voi».39Poi disse loro anche una parabola: «Può un cieco guidare un altro cieco? Non cadranno tutti e due in un fosso?40Un discepolo non è da più del maestro; ma ogni discepolo ben preparato sarà come il suo maestro.41Perché guardi la pagliuzza che è nell’occhio di tuo fratello, mentre non scorgi la trave che è nell’occhio tuo?42Come puoi dire a tuo fratello: “Fratello, lascia che io tolga la pagliuzza che è nel tuo occhio”, mentre tu stesso non vedi la trave che è nell’occhio tuo? Ipocrita! Togli prima dall’occhio tuo la trave, e allora ci vedrai bene per togliere la pagliuzza che è nell’occhio di tuo fratello.43Non c’è infatti albero buono che faccia frutto cattivo, né vi è albero cattivo che faccia frutto buono;44perché ogni albero si riconosce dal proprio frutto. Infatti non si colgono fichi dalle spine, né si vendemmia uva dai rovi.45L’uomo buono dal buon tesoro del suo cuore tira fuori il bene, e l’uomo malvagio dal malvagio tesoro del suo cuore tira fuori il male; perché dall’abbondanza del cuore parla la sua bocca.
Parabola delle due case
46«Perché mi chiamate: “Signore, Signore!” e non fate quello che dico?47Chiunque viene a me e ascolta le mie parole e le mette in pratica, io vi mostrerò a chi è simile.48È simile a un uomo il quale, costruendo una casa, ha scavato e scavato profondamente e ha posto il fondamento sulla roccia; e, venuta un’alluvione, la fiumana ha investito quella casa e non ha potuto smuoverla perché era stata costruita bene.49Ma chi ha udito e non ha messo in pratica, è simile a un uomo che ha costruito una casa sul terreno, senza fondamenta: la fiumana l’ha investita e subito è crollata; e la rovina di quella casa è stata grande».
1Und es geschah am Sabbat[1], dass er durch die Saaten ging und seine Jünger die Ähren abpflückten und aßen, indem sie sie mit den Händen zerrieben. (De 23,26)2Einige der Pharisäer aber sprachen zu ihnen: Warum tut ihr, was am Sabbat nicht zu tun erlaubt ist?3Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Habt ihr auch dieses nicht gelesen, was David tat, als ihn und die, die bei ihm waren, hungerte?4Wie er in das Haus Gottes ging und die Schaubrote nahm und aß und auch denen gab, die bei ihm waren – die doch außer den Priestern allein niemand essen darf? (1Sam 21,7)5Und er sprach zu ihnen: Der Sohn des Menschen ist Herr des Sabbats.6Es geschah aber auch an einem anderen Sabbat, dass er in die Synagoge ging und lehrte; und es war dort ein Mensch, dessen rechte Hand verdorrt war. (Lu 4,31)7Die Schriftgelehrten und die Pharisäer aber lauerten darauf, ob er am Sabbat heilen würde, damit sie eine Beschuldigung gegen ihn fanden. (Sal 37,32; Lu 10,25; Lu 11,54; Lu 13,14; Lu 14,1; Lu 20,20)8Er aber kannte ihre Überlegungen und sprach zu dem Menschen, der die verdorrte Hand hatte: Steh auf und stelle dich in die Mitte! Er aber stand auf und stellte sich hin. (Lu 5,22)9Jesus sprach nun zu ihnen: Ich frage euch, ob es erlaubt ist, am Sabbat Gutes zu tun oder Böses zu tun, Leben zu retten oder zu verderben. (Lu 13,15; Lu 14,3)10Und nachdem er sie alle ringsum angeblickt hatte, sprach er zu ihm: Strecke deine Hand aus! Und er tat es; und seine Hand wurde wiederhergestellt. (1Re 13,6)11Sie aber wurden mit Unverstand erfüllt und besprachen sich untereinander, was sie Jesus tun sollten. (Mat 10,1; Mar 3,13; Giov 11,47; At 1,13; At 4,16)
Berufung der zwölf Apostel
12Und es geschah in diesen Tagen, dass er auf den Berg hinausging, um zu beten; und er verbrachte die Nacht im Gebet zu Gott. (Sal 109,4; Lu 5,16)13Und als es Tag wurde, rief er seine Jünger herbei und erwählte aus ihnen zwölf, die er auch Apostel[2] nannte: (Lu 9,1; At 1,2)14Simon, den er auch Petrus nannte, und Andreas, seinen Bruder, und Jakobus und Johannes und Philippus und Bartholomäus15und Matthäus und Thomas und Jakobus, des Alphäus ⟨Sohn⟩, und Simon, genannt Eiferer[3],16und Judas, des Jakobus ⟨Sohn⟩[4], und Judas Iskariot[5], der ⟨zum⟩ Verräter wurde. (Mat 12,15; Mar 3,7; Lu 22,4)
Krankenheilungen
17Und als er mit ihnen herabgestiegen war, trat er auf einen ebenen Platz und eine große Schar seiner Jünger und eine große Menge des Volkes von ganz Judäa und Jerusalem und von der Seeküste von Tyrus und Sidon,18die kamen, ihn zu hören und von ihren Krankheiten geheilt zu werden; und die von unreinen Geistern Geplagten wurden geheilt. (At 10,38)19Und die ganze Volksmenge suchte ihn anzurühren, denn Kraft ging von ihm aus und heilte alle[6]. (Mat 5,1; Mat 9,21; Lu 5,17)
Seligpreisungen – Weherufe
20Und er erhob seine Augen zu seinen Jüngern und sprach: Glückselig ihr Armen, denn euer ist das Reich[7] Gottes. (Lu 4,18; Lu 12,32; Lu 22,29)21Glückselig, die ihr jetzt hungert, denn ihr werdet gesättigt werden. Glückselig, die ihr jetzt weint, denn ihr werdet lachen. (Sal 126,5)22Glückselig seid ihr, wenn die Menschen euch hassen werden und wenn sie euch absondern und schmähen und euren Namen als böse verwerfen werden um des Sohnes des Menschen willen. (Is 66,5; Mat 10,22; 1Co 4,13)23Freut euch an jenem Tag und hüpft! Denn siehe, euer Lohn ist groß in dem Himmel; denn ebenso taten ihre Väter den Propheten. (Mat 21,35; At 5,41)24Aber wehe euch Reichen! Denn ihr habt euren Trost dahin. (Lu 16,25; Giac 5,1)25Wehe euch, die ihr voll seid, denn ihr werdet hungern. Wehe euch, die ihr jetzt lacht, denn ihr werdet trauern und weinen. (Giac 4,9)26Wehe, wenn alle Menschen gut von euch reden, denn ebenso taten ihre Väter den falschen Propheten. (Ger 5,31; Mi 2,11; Mat 5,38)
Rechtes Vergelten: Feindesliebe
27Aber euch, die ihr hört, sage ich: Liebt eure Feinde; tut wohl denen, die euch hassen; (Eso 23,4; Prov 25,21)28segnet, die euch fluchen; betet für die, die euch beleidigen! (Lu 23,34; 1P 3,9)29Dem, der dich auf die Backe schlägt, biete auch die andere dar; und dem, der dir den Mantel nimmt, verweigere auch das Untergewand nicht! (1Co 6,7)30Gib jedem, der dich bittet; und von dem, der dir das Deine nimmt, fordere es nicht zurück! (De 15,7)31Und wie ihr wollt, dass euch die Menschen tun sollen, tut ihnen ebenso! (Mat 7,12)32Und wenn ihr liebt, die euch lieben, was für einen Dank habt ihr? Denn auch die Sünder lieben, die sie lieben.33Und wenn ihr denen Gutes tut, die euch Gutes tun, was für einen Dank habt ihr? Auch die Sünder tun dasselbe.34Und wenn ihr denen leiht, von denen ihr ⟨wieder⟩ zu empfangen hofft, was für einen Dank habt ihr? Auch Sünder leihen Sündern, damit sie das Gleiche wieder empfangen. (Lu 14,12)35Doch liebt eure Feinde, und tut Gutes, und leiht, ohne etwas wieder zu erhoffen! Und euer Lohn wird groß sein, und ihr werdet Söhne des Höchsten sein; denn er ist gütig gegen die Undankbaren und Bösen. (Mat 7,1; Lu 14,14)
Warnung vor dem Richten
36Seid[8] barmherzig, wie auch euer Vater barmherzig ist! (Giac 3,17)37Und richtet nicht, und ihr werdet nicht gerichtet werden; und verurteilt nicht, und ihr werdet nicht verurteilt werden. Lasst los, und ihr werdet losgelassen werden[9]. (Mat 6,14)38Gebt, und es wird euch gegeben werden: ein gutes, gedrücktes und gerütteltes und überlaufendes Maß wird man in euren Schoß geben; denn mit demselben Maß, mit dem ihr messt, wird euch wieder gemessen werden. (2Co 9,6)39Er sagte aber auch ein Gleichnis zu ihnen: Kann etwa ein Blinder einen Blinden leiten? Werden nicht beide in eine Grube fallen? (Mat 15,14)40Ein Jünger ist nicht über dem Lehrer; jeder aber, der vollendet[10] ist, wird sein wie sein Lehrer. (Mat 10,24)41Was aber siehst du den Splitter, der in deines Bruders Auge ist, den Balken aber, der in deinem eigenen Auge ist, nimmst du nicht wahr?42Wie kannst du zu deinem Bruder sagen: Bruder, erlaube, ich will den Splitter herausziehen, der in deinem Auge ist, während du selbst den Balken in deinem Auge nicht siehst? Heuchler, ziehe zuerst den Balken aus deinem Auge! Und dann wirst du klar sehen, um den Splitter herauszuziehen, der in deines Bruders Auge ist.43Denn es gibt keinen guten Baum, der faule Frucht bringt, auch wieder keinen faulen Baum, der gute Frucht bringt; (Mat 12,33)44denn jeder Baum wird an seiner eigenen Frucht erkannt; denn von Dornen sammelt man nicht Feigen, auch liest man von einem Dornbusch keine Trauben. (Giac 3,12)45Der gute Mensch bringt aus dem guten Schatz seines Herzens das Gute hervor, und der böse bringt aus dem bösen das Böse hervor; denn aus der Fülle des Herzens redet sein Mund. (Mat 7,21; Mat 12,34)
Gleichnis vom Haus auf dem Felsen
46Was nennt ihr mich aber: Herr, Herr!, und tut nicht, was ich sage? (Mal 1,6; 1G 2,4)47Jeder, der zu mir kommt und meine Worte hört und sie tut – ich will euch zeigen, wem er gleich ist.48Er ist einem Menschen gleich, der ein Haus baute, grub und vertiefte und den Grund auf den Felsen legte; als aber eine Flut kam, stieß der Strom an jenes Haus und konnte es nicht erschüttern, weil es gut gebaut war[11].49Der aber gehört und nicht getan hat, ist einem Menschen gleich, der ein Haus auf die Erde baute ohne Grundmauer; der Strom stieß daran, und sogleich fiel es, und der Sturz jenes Hauses war groß. (Mat 8,5; Giac 1,23)
1On a Sabbath,[1] while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. (De 23,25; Mat 12,1; Mar 2,23)2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” (Eso 20,9; Mat 9,11)3And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: (1Sam 21,1; Mat 21,16)4how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” (Eso 25,30; Le 24,5)5And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” (Lu 5,24)
A Man with a Withered Hand
6On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. (Mat 12,9; Mar 3,1; Mar 6,2)7And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. (Lu 11,54; Lu 14,1; Lu 20,20; Giov 8,6)8But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. (Mat 9,4)9And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” (Lu 14,3)10And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. (1Re 13,4; Mar 3,34; Mar 5,32; Mar 10,21; Mar 10,23)11But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. (2Ti 3,9)
The Twelve Apostles
12In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. (Mat 14,23)13And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles: (Mat 10,1; Mat 10,2; Mar 3,13; Mar 3,16; Mar 6,7; Mar 6,30; Lu 9,1; Giov 13,18; At 1,13)14Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, (Mat 4,18; Mat 4,21; Mat 16,18; Giov 1,42)15and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, (Mat 9,9; At 21,20)16and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. (Giov 14,22)
Jesus Ministers to a Great Multitude
17And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, (Mat 4,25; Mat 5,1; Mat 11,21; Mar 3,7; Lu 6,12)18who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. (Mat 4,24)19And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all. (Mat 14,36; Mar 3,10; Lu 8,46; At 5,15)
The Beatitudes
20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. (Mat 5,3; Lu 12,32; Giov 6,5)21“Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. (Is 25,8; Is 57,18; Mat 5,4; Lu 1,53)22“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! (Mat 10,22; Giov 9,22; Giov 12,42; Giov 15,21; Giov 16,2; Eb 11,26; 1P 4,14)23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. (Mat 5,12; Mat 21,35)
27“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (Prov 25,21; Mat 5,44; Ro 12,20)28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. (Lu 6,27; 1P 3,9)29To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic[2] either. (Is 50,6; Lam 3,30; Mat 5,39; Mat 26,67; Ro 12,17)30Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. (Sal 37,21; Prov 21,26)31And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. (Mat 7,12)32“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. (Mat 5,46)33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. (Sal 37,26; Prov 19,17; Mat 5,42; Lu 14,12)35But love your enemies, and do good, 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 to the ungrateful and the evil. (Mat 5,45; Mar 5,7; Lu 1,32; Lu 6,27; Giac 1,5)36Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (Mat 5,7; Mat 5,48; Ef 5,1; Giac 3,17; Giac 5,11)
Judging Others
37“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; (Mat 6,14; Mat 7,1; Mat 18,23; Lu 6,41; Ro 14,13; 1Co 4,5; Giac 5,9)38give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Giudic 1,7; Sal 79,12; Is 65,6; Mar 4,24; 2Co 9,6)39He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? (Mat 15,14)40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. (Mat 10,24; 1Co 1,10; 2Co 13,11; 2Ti 3,17; Eb 13,21; 1P 5,10)41Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? (Lu 6,37; Giov 8,7)42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, (Mat 7,16; Mat 7,20)44for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. (Mat 12,33)45The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. (Mat 5,37; Mat 12,34; Mat 12,35; Mat 13,52; Mat 15,18; Ef 4,29)
Build Your House on the Rock
46“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? (Mal 1,6; Mat 7,21; Giov 13,13)47Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: (Mat 7,24)48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.[3]49But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” (Ez 13,10; Am 6,11)
Luca 6
King James Version
1And 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.2And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?3And 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;4How 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?5And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.6And 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.7And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.8But 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.9Then 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?10And 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.11And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.13And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;14Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,16And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.17And 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;18And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.19And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.22Blessed 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.23Rejoice 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.24But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.25Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.26Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.32For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.34And 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.35But 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.36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:38Give, 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.39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?42Either 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.43For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.45A 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.46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:48He 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.49But 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.
