Luke 6:19-47

¹⁹And all the crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was going out from Him, and was healing them all.

²⁰Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

²²Blessed are you when men shall hate you, And when they shall exclude you, And shall revile you, and cast out your name as evil, Because of the Son of Man.

²³Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For behold, your reward is great in heaven; For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

²⁴But woe to you who are rich, Because you have received your consolation.

²⁵Woe to you who have been filled, For you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Woe to you when men speak well of you, For in like manner their fathers would do to the false prophets.

²⁷“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes your outer garment, do not forbid the tunic either.

³⁰Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your belongings, do not ask for them back.

³¹And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

³²“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³³And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³⁴And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive it back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may receive the same amount back.

³⁵But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping to receive nothing back; and your reward shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

³⁶Therefore be compassionate, just as your Father also is compassionate.

³⁷“And do not judge, and you shall not be judged. Do not condemn, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.

³⁸Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure, pressed down and shaken and running over they shall give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it shall be measured back to you.”

³⁹And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone, having been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

⁴¹And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

⁴²Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit me to remove the speck which is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck which is in your brother's eye.

⁴³“For a good tree does not produce corrupt fruit, nor does a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

⁴⁴For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a thorn bush.

⁴⁵A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?

⁴⁷Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:
