Luke 6 ©
1 Christ alleged scripture in defence of his disciples' plucking the ears of corn on the sabbath day: 6 he appealeth to reason, and healeth the withered hand on the sabbath. 12 He spendeth the night in prayer, and chooseth the twelve apostles: 17 he healeth various diseased people: 20 pronounceth blessings and woes: 27 teacheth to return good for evil, and other lessons of moral duty: 46 and admonisheth to be his disciples in practice, and not in profession only.
AND ait 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 Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, cwhat David did, when himself was *an hungred, and they which were with him;
fAnd it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose gright hand was withered.
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; kIs 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, lStretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
¶And pwhen it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
qSimon, (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 rZelotes,
¶And he came down with them, and stood uin the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a vgreat multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of wTyre 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.
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which *despitefully use you.
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
pAnd 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.
qBut love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and rye shall be the children of sthe Highest: for he tis kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
xGive, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. yFor with the same measure that ye *mete *withal it shall be measured to you again.
aThe disciple is not above his master: but every one 1that is perfect shall be as his master.
bAnd 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, clet 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.
dFor a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
eFor every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they 2grapes.
He is like a man which ibuilt an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when jthe flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and kcould not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But lhe that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that mwithout a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and nimmediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
