Luke 6:19-47

¹⁹And all the people sought to touch him, for virtue went out of him, and healed all.

²⁰And when his eyes were cast up, into his disciples, he said, Blessed be ye, poor men or poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.

²¹Blessed be ye, that now hunger, for ye shall be full-filled. Blessed be ye, that now weep, for ye shall laugh. Blessed be ye, that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed be ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.

²²Ye shall be blessed, when men shall hate you, and separate you away, and put reproof to you or shall put shame on you, and cast out your name as evil, for man’s Son.

²³Joy ye in that day, and be ye glad; for lo! your meed is much in heaven; for after these things the fathers of them did to prophets.

²⁴Nevertheless woe to you, rich men, that have your comfort.

²⁵Woe to you that be full-filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh, for ye shall mourn, and weep. Woe to you that be filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for ye shall mourn, and weep.

²⁶Woe to you, when all men shall bless you; after these things the fathers of them did to false prophets.

²⁷But I say to you that hear, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hated you or that hate you;

²⁸bless ye men that curse you, pray ye for men that defame you or that falsely challenge you.

²⁹And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, show also the other or give also the tother; and from him that taketh away from thee a cloth, do not thou forbid the coat.

³⁰And give to each that asketh thee, and if a man taketh away those things that be thine, ask thou not again.

³¹And as ye will that men do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.

³²And if ye love them that love you, what thank or what grace is to you? for sinful men love men that love them.

³³And if ye do well to them that do well to you, what grace or what thank is to you? for sinful men do this thing.

³⁴And if ye lend to them of which ye hope to take again, what thank or what grace is to you? for sinful men lend to sinful men, to take again as much.

³⁵Nevertheless love ye your enemies, and do ye well, and lend ye, hoping nothing thereof, and your meed shall be much, and ye shall be the sons of the Highest, for he is benign, or of good will, on unkind men and evil men.

³⁶Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is merciful.

³⁷Do not ye deem, and ye shall not be deemed. Do not ye condemn, and ye shall not be condemned; forgive ye, and it shall be forgiven to you.

³⁸Give ye, and it shall be given to you. They shall give into your bosom a good measure, and well-filled, and shaken together, and overflowing; for by the same measure, by which ye mete, it shall be meted again to you.

³⁹And he said to them a likeness, Whether the blind may lead the blind? nor fall they not both into the ditch? or whether they fall not both into the ditch?

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his master; but each shall be perfect, if he be as his master.

⁴¹And what seest thou in thy brother’s eye a mote, but thou beholdest not a beam, that is in thine own eye?

⁴²Or how mayest thou say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I shall cast out the mote of thine eye, and thou beholdest not a beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, first take out or cast out the beam of thine eye, and then thou shalt see to take out the mote of thy brother’s eye.

⁴³It is not a good tree, that maketh evil fruits, neither an evil tree, that maketh good fruits;

⁴⁴for every tree is known of his fruit. And men gather not figs of thorns, neither men gather a grape of a bush of briars.

⁴⁵A good man of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things, and an evil man of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things; for of the plenty of the heart the mouth speaketh.

⁴⁶And what call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not those things that I say.

⁴⁷Each that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I shall show to you, to whom he is like.
