The Lord of the Sabbath

And it came to pass on [the] second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating [them], rubbing [them] in their hands.

1

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

Now it happened [a]on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

2

But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?

2

And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”

3

And Jesus answering said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,

3

But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4

how he entered into the house of God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that [any] eat, unless the priests alone?

4

how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?”

5

And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.

5

And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”

6

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

6

Healing on the Sabbath

Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7

And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.

7

So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

8

But *he* knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood [there].

8

But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood.

9

Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?

9

Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or [b]to destroy?”

10

And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did [so] and his hand was restored as the other.

10

And when He had looked around at them all, He said to [c]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored [d]as whole as the other.

11

But *they* were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

11

But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12

The Twelve Apostles

And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.

12

The Twelve Apostles

Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13

And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:

13

And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

14

Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, [and] James and John, [and] Philip and Bartholomew,

14

Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15

[and] Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,

15

Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;

16

[and] Judas [brother] of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also [his] betrayer;

16

Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

17

Jesus Ministers to a Great Crowd

and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

17

Jesus Heals a Great Multitude

And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

18

and those that were beset by unclean spirits were healed.

18

as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19

And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all.

19

And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

20

The Beatitudes

And *he*, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Blessed [are] ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

20

The Beatitudes

Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said:
“Blessed are you poor,
For yours is the kingdom of God.

21

Blessed ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.

21

Blessed are you who hunger now,
For you shall be filled.[e]
Blessed are you who weep now,
For you shall laugh.

22

Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from them], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:

22

Blessed are you when men hate you,
And when they exclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake.

23

rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in the heaven, for after this manner did their fathers act toward the prophets.

23

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

24

Woes

But woe to you rich, for ye have received your consolation.

24

Jesus Pronounces Woes

“But woe to you who are rich,
For you have received your consolation.

25

Woe to you that are filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

25

Woe to you who are full,
For you shall hunger.
Woe to you who laugh now,
For you shall mourn and weep.

26

Woe, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

26

Woe [f]to you when [g]all men speak well of you,
For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

27

28

bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

29

To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.

29

To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

30

To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.

30

Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

31

And as ye wish that men should do to you, do *ye* also to them in like manner.

31

And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32

34

And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

35

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of [the] Highest; for *he* is good to the unthankful and wicked.

35

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, [h]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

Be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.

36

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.

37

Do Not Judge

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38

Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

41

But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which is in thine own eye?

41

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?

42

or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow [me], I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.

42

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

43

A Tree and its Fruit

For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;

43

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

“For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44

for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.

44

For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

45

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil [i]treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

The House on the Rock

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?

46

Build on the Rock

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?

47

Every one that comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will shew you to whom he is like.

47

Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

48

He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; but a great rain coming, the stream broke upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.

48

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was [j]founded on the rock.

49

And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without [a] foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great.

49

But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it [k]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
