Luke 6:3-39

³And Jesus answered, and said to them, Have ye not read, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him;

⁴how he entered into the house of God, and took loaves of proposition, and ate, and gave to them that were with him; which loaves it was not leaveful to eat, but only to priests or no but to priests alone.

⁵And he said to them, For man’s Son is Lord, yea, of the sabbath.

⁶And it was done in another sabbath, that he entered into a synagogue, and taught. And a man was there, and his right hand was dry.

⁷And the scribes and the Pharisees espied him, if he would heal him in the sabbath, that they should find cause, whereof they should accuse him.

⁸And he knew the thoughts of them, and he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise up, and stand in the middle. And he rose, and stood.

⁹And Jesus said to them, I ask you, if it is leaveful to do well in the sabbath day, or evil? to make a soul safe, or to lose?

¹⁰And when he had beheld all men about, he said to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held forth, and his hand was restored to health.

¹¹And they were full-filled or filled with unwisdom, and spake together, what they should do of Jesus.

¹²And it was done in those days, he went out into an hill to pray; and he was all night dwelling in the prayer of God.

¹³And when the day was come, he called his disciples, and chose twelve of them, which he called or he named also apostles;

¹⁴Simon, whom he called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James Alphaeus, and Simon, that is called Zelotes,

¹⁶Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, that was traitor.

¹⁷And Jesus came down from the hill with them, and stood in a field place; and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people, of all Judea, and Jerusalem, and of the sea coasts, and of Tyre and Sidon, that came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses;

¹⁸and they that were travailed of or with unclean spirits, were healed.

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?
