Luke 6:2-32

²And certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Why do the that which is not laufull to do on the saboth dayes?

³And Iesus answered them and sayde: Have ye not redde what David dyd when he him sylfe was anhungred and they which were with him:

⁴how he went into the housse of God and toke and ate the loves of halowed breed and gave also to them which were with him: which was not laufull to eate but for the prestes only.

⁵And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde of the saboth daye.

⁶And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to the sinagoge and taught. And ther was a man whose right honde was dryed vp.

⁷And the Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.

⁸But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had the wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe.

⁹Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it?

¹⁰And he behelde them all in compasse and sayd vnto the man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other.

¹¹And they were filled full of madnes and communed one with another what they myght do to Iesu.

¹²And it fortuned in thoose dayes that he went out into a mountayne for to praye and cotinued all nyght in prayer to god.

¹³And assone as it was daye he called his disciples and of the he chose twelve which also he called apostles.

¹⁴Simon who he named Peter: and Andrew his brother. Iames and Ihon Philip and Bartlemew

¹⁵Mathew and Thomas Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simon called zelotes

¹⁶and Iudas Iames sonne and Iudas Iscarioth which same was the traytour.

¹⁷And he came doune with them and stode in the playne felde with the company of his disciples and agreate multitude of people out of all parties of Iurie and Ierusalem and from the see cooste of Tire and Sidon which came to heare hym and to be healed of their diseases:

¹⁸and they also that were vexed with foule spretes and they were healed.

¹⁹And all the people preased to touche him: for there went vertue out of him and healed them all.

²⁰And he lifted vp his eyes apon the disciples and sayde: Blessed be the poore: for yours is the kyngdome of God.

²¹Blessed are ye that honger now: for ye shalbe satisfied.

²²Blessed are ye that wepe now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake.

²³Reioyse ye then and be gladde: for beholde youre rewarde is greate in heven. After this manner their fathers entreated the Prophetes.

²⁴But wo be to you that are ryche: for ye have therin youre consolacion.

²⁵Wo be to you that are full: for ye shall honger. Wo be to you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle and wepe.

²⁶Wo be to you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes.

²⁷But I saye vnto you which heare: Love youre enemyes. Do good to the which hate you.

²⁸Blesse the that course you. And praye for the which wrongfully trouble you.

²⁹And vnto him that smyteth the on the one cheke offer also the other. And him that taketh awaye thy goune forbid not to take thy coote also.

³⁰Geve to every man that axeth of the. And of him that taketh awaye thy goodes axe them not agayne.

³¹And as the wolde that men shuld doo to you: so do ye to them lyke wyse.

³²If ye love the which love you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners love their lovers.
