Luke:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them ,
Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days ?
*
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 ;
*
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 ?
*
And he said unto them ,
That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath .
*
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 .
*
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him ,
whether he would heal on the sabbath day ;
that they might find an accusation against him .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
And they were filled with madness ;
and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus .
*
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 .
*
And when it was day ,
he called unto him his disciples :
and of them he chose twelve ,
whom also he named apostles ;
*
Simon , (
whom he also named Peter ,)
and Andrew his brother ,
James and John ,
Philip and Bartholomew ,
*
Matthew and Thomas ,
James the son of Alphaeus ,
and Simon called Zelotes ,
*
And Judas the brother of James ,
and Judas Iscariot ,
which also was the traitor .
*
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 ;
*
And they that were vexed with unclean spirits :
and they were healed .
*
And the whole multitude sought to touch him :
for there went virtue out of him ,
and healed them all .
*
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples ,
and said ,
Blessed be ye poor :
for yours is the kingdom of God .
*
Blessed are ye that hunger now :
for ye shall be filled .
Blessed are ye that weep now :
for ye shall laugh .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But woe unto you that are rich !
for ye have received your consolation .
*
Woe unto you that are full !
for ye shall hunger .
Woe unto you that laugh now !
for ye shall mourn and weep .
*
Woe unto you ,
when all men shall speak well of you !
for so did their fathers to the false prophets .
*
But I say unto you which hear ,
Love your enemies ,
do good to them which hate you ,
*
Bless them that curse you ,
and pray for them which despitefully use you .
*
And 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 .
*
Give to every man that asketh of thee ;
and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again .
*
And as ye would that men should do to you ,
do ye also to them likewise .
*
For if ye love them which love you ,
what thank have ye ?
for sinners also love those that love them .
*
And if ye do good to them which do good to you ,
what thank have ye ?
for sinners also do even the same .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Be ye therefore merciful ,
as your Father also is merciful .
*
Judge not ,
and ye shall not be judged :
condemn not ,
and ye shall not be condemned :
forgive ,
and ye shall be forgiven :
*
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 .
*
And he spake a parable unto them ,
Can the blind lead the blind ?
shall they not both fall into the ditch ?
*
The disciple is not above his master :
but every one that is perfect shall be as his master .
*
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother '
s eye ,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
*
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 .
*
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit ;
neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And why call ye me ,
Lord ,
Lord ,
and do not the things which I say ?
*
Whosoever cometh to me ,
and heareth my sayings ,
and doeth them ,
I will shew you to whom he is like :
*
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 .
*
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 .
