Luke 11:32-38 in English

³² The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

³³ No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁵ Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.

³⁷ Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner.

³² The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

³³ No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

³⁴ The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁵ Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

³⁷ And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³² The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

³⁵ Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

³⁷ And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³² The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

³³ No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁵ Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.

³⁷ Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³² The people who lived in Nineveh city turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come and preached to you, but you have not turned from your sinful ways. Therefore, at the time when God judges all people, the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”

³³ Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them MET, “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter their house can see things from its light. Similarly, I have not concealed God's truth. I have revealed it to you.

³⁴ Your eyes MET are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well MET. Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness MET. And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know.

³⁵ Therefore, you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness MET.

³⁶ If you live completely according to God's truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”

³⁷ While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to his house and ate with him.

³⁸ The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees' ritual by washing his hands before eating. The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they had touched something unacceptable to God.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

³³ “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

³⁵ Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

³⁶ If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

³⁷ Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.

³⁸ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

³⁵ Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

³⁶ If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

³⁷ Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.

³⁸ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

³⁷ Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.

³⁸ When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

³² The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

³³ No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

³⁴ The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.

³⁵ So take care that the light which is in you is not dark.

³⁶ If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.

³⁷ Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.

³² Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

³³ But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.

³⁵ See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If therefore thy whole body is light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.

³⁷ But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.

³⁸ But the Pharisee seeing it wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

³² The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas; and behold more than Jonas here.

³³ No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel; but upon a candlestick, that they that come in, may see the light.

³⁴ The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be darksome.

³⁵ Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkness.

³⁶ If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness; the whole shall be lightsome; and as a bright lamp, shall enlighten thee.

³⁷ And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.

³⁸ And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.

³² The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed one greater than Jonah is here.

³³ “No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body also is dark.

³⁵ Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

³⁶ Therefore if your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives light to you.”

³⁷ And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked that He would eat with him. And having entered, He reclined to eat.

³⁸ And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before the meal.

³² The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

³³ “No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.

³⁵ So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.

³⁶ If then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

³⁷ Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.

³⁸ But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.

³² The people of Nineveh rise in the judgment together with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented when they heard Jonah's message, and now there's someone greater than Jonah here!

³³ No one lights a lamp and then hides it or places it under a bowl. No, you put it on a lamp stand so that those who come into the house can see the light.

³⁴ Your eye is the light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body is in the dark.

³⁵ So make sure the light you have in you is not actually darkness.

³⁶ If your whole body is full of light, with no areas of darkness, then it will be completely illuminated, just as a bright lamp gives you light.”

³⁷ After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to come and eat with him. So Jesus went and sat down to a meal.

³⁸ The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating as ceremonially required.

³² The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.

³³ No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a priuie place, neither vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, that they which come in, may see the light.

³⁶ If therefore thy whole body shall be light, hauing no part darke, then shall all be light, euen as when a candle doth light thee with the brightnesse.

³⁷ And as hee spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and hee went in, and sate downe at table.

³⁸ And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is thine eye. When thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is in the light; but when it is disordered, thy body also is in darkness.

³⁵ Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness.

³⁶ If then thy whole body is enlightened, having no part dark, the whole will be as fully enlightened, as when a lamp with its bright shining giveth thee light.

³⁷ And when he had done speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at the table.

³⁸ And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not bathe before dinner.

³² At the judgement the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!

³³ No one sets light to a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.

³⁵ Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.

³⁶ If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.”

³⁷ As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.

³² At the judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!

³⁷ Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee Separated asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.

³⁸ When the Pharisee Separated saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

³⁷ Jesus was talking to the people, and a man that belonged to the mob called Pharisees asked him to come to his place for dinner. The Pharisee mob were very strong for the Jewish law.

³⁸ The Pharisees made a rule, that whenever anyone wanted to eat a meal, they first had to wash their hands. But Jesus didn’t follow that rule. He didn’t wash his hands. The Pharisee man was shocked.

³² The men of Ninive shall ryse at the iudgement with this generacion and shall condempne them: for they repented at the preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here.

³⁶ For if all thy body shalbe light havynge noo parte darke: then shall all be full of light even as when a candell doeth light the with his brightnes.

³³ No man tendeth or lighteneth a lantern, and putteth it in huddles, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they that go in, see light.

³⁴ The lantern of thy body is thine eye; if thine eye be simple, all thy body shall be light-full; but if it be wayward, all thy body shall be dark-full.

³⁵ Therefore see thou, lest the light that is in thee, be darknesses.

³⁶ Therefore if all thy body be bright or light-full, and have no part of darknesses, it shall be all bright or light-full, and as a lantern of bright-ness, or shining, it shall give light to thee.

³⁷ And when he spake, a Pharisee prayed him, that he should eat with him. And he entered, and sat to or at the meat.

³⁸ And the Pharisee began to say, guessing within himself, why he was not washed before the meat.

³² Men of Nineve shall rise in the doom with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they did penance in the preaching of Jonas or for they did penance at the preaching of Jonas, and lo! here is a greater (man) than Jonas. (Men of Nineveh shall rise at the Judgement with this generation, and shall condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold! here is something or someone greater than Jonah.)

³³ No man tendeth, or lighteneth, (or lighteth), a lantern, and putteth it in huddles (or hideth it), neither under a bushel, but (rather) on a candlestick, (so) that they that go in(side), see light.

³⁴ The lantern of thy body is thine eye; if thine eye be simple, (or if thine eye is single, or is sound), all thy body shall be light-full; but if it be wayward, all thy body shall be dark-full.

³⁵ Therefore see thou, lest the light that is in thee, be darknesses (or be darkness).

³⁶ Therefore if all thy body be bright, and have no part of darknesses, (or And so if all thy body be bright, and have no part with darkness), it shall be all bright, and as a lantern of brightness it shall give light to thee. Therefore if all thy body shall be light-full, not having any part of darknesses, it shall be all light-full, and as a lantern of brightness, or shining, it shall give light to thee.

³⁷ And when he spake, a Pharisee prayed him, that he should eat with him. And he entered, and sat to (the) meat or (and) sat at the meat. (And after he spoke, a Pharisee beseeched him, that he would eat with him. And he entered, and sat down for the meal.)

³⁸ And the Pharisee began to say, guessing within himself, why he was not washed before the meat (or why he did not wash before the meal).

³² Men of Nynyue schulen rise in doom with this generacioun, and schulen condempne it; for thei diden penaunce in the prechyng of Jonas, and lo! here is a gretter than Jonas.

³³ No man tendith a lanterne, and puttith in hidils, nether vndur a buyschel, but on a candilstike, that thei that goen in, se liyt.

³⁴ The lanterne of thi bodi is thin iye; if thin iye be symple, al thi bodi schal be liyti; but if it be weyward, al thi bodi schal be derkful.

³⁸ And the Farisee bigan to seie, gessynge with ynne hym silf, whi he was not waschen bifor mete.

³² 'Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!

³³ 'And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

³⁴ 'The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

³⁵ take heed, then, lest the light that is in thee be darkness;

³⁶ if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'

³⁷ And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

³⁸ and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.
