2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, What do ye that, that is not leaveful in the sabbaths? (or Why do ye that, which is not lawful on the Sabbath?)
3 And Jesus answered, and said to them, Have ye not read, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him;
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took (the) loaves of proposition, and ate (them), and gave to them that were with him; which loaves it was not leaveful to eat, (no) but only to priests or no but to priests alone. (how he entered into God’s House, and took the loaves of the showbread, and ate them, and gave them to those who were with him; whichbread it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests.)
5 And he said to them, For man’s Son is Lord, yea, of the sabbath.
6 And it was done in another sabbath (or on another Sabbath), that he entered into a synagogue, and taught. And a man was there, and his right hand was dry.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees espied him, if he would heal him in the sabbath (or if he would heal him on the Sabbath), (so) that they should find cause, whereof they should accuse him.
8 And he knew the thoughts of them, and he said to the man that had a dry hand, Rise up, and stand in the middle (of us). And he rose, and stood (there).
9 And 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? (And Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath day, or evil? to save a life, or a soul, or to destroy it?)
10 And when he had beheld all men about, he said to the man, Hold forth thine hand. And he held (it) forth, and his hand was restored to health.
11 And they were full-filled with unwisdom or Soothly they were filled with unwisdom, and spake together, what they should do of Jesus (or what they would do about Jesus).
12 And it was done in those days, he went out into an hill to pray (or he went up onto a hill to pray); and he was all night dwelling in the prayer of God.
13 And when the day was come, he called his disciples, and chose twelve of them, which he called or he named also apostles;
14 Simon, whom he called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James Alphaeus, and Simon, that is called Zelotes (or the Zealot),
16 Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, that was (the) traitor.
17 And 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, (or from all of Judea, and Jerusalem, and from the sea coasts, and from Tyre and Sidon), that came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses;
18 and they that were travailed of or with unclean spirits, were healed. (and those who were troubled by unclean spirits, or devils and demons, were healed.)
19 And all the people sought to touch him, for virtue went out of him (or for power went out of him), and healed all.
20 And when his eyes were cast up, into his disciples, he said, (or And he turned his eyes upon his disciples, and he said), Blessed be ye, poor men +or Blessed be ye, (the) poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Blessed 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.
22 Ye shall be blessed, when men shall hate you, and separate you away, and put reproof to you or and shall put shame on you, and cast out your name as evil, for man’s Son.
23 Joy 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 (the) prophets. (Rejoice on that day, and be glad; for behold! your reward is great in heaven; for thus their fathers did to the prophets.)
24 Nevertheless woe to you, rich men, that have your comfort.
25 Woe 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.
26 Woe to you, when all men shall bless you; after these things the fathers of them did to false prophets (or for thus their fathers did to the false prophets).
27 But I say to you that hear, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hated you or do ye well to them that hate you;
28 bless ye men that curse you, pray ye for men that defame you or that falsely challenge you.
29 And 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, (or and as for him who taketh away a cloak from thee, give also thy coat to him).
30 And give to each that asketh thee, and if a man taketh away those things that be thine, ask thou not again (for them).
31 And as ye will that men do to you (or And as ye desire that men do to you), do ye also to them in like manner.
32 And if ye love them that love you, what thank(s), or what grace, is to you? for sinful men love men that love them. (And if ye love those who love you, what credit is that to you? for sinners love those who love them.)
