1 It happened and in sabbath second–first to pass him through the grain–fields; and plucked the disciples of him the ears of grain, and ate, rubbing the hands.

2 Some and of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you, which not it is lawful to do in the sabbath?

3 And answering to them said the Jesus: Not even this have you read, what did David, when he was hungry he and those with him being?

4 how he entered into the house of the God, and the loaves of the presence he took, and ate, and gave also to those with him; which not it is lawful to eat, if not alone the priests?

5 And he said to them: That a lord is the son of the man also of the sabbath.

6 It happened and also in another sabbath to enter him into the synagogue, and to teach; and was there a man, and the hand of him the right was withered.

7 Watched and him the scribes and the Pharisees if in the sabbath he will heal, so that they might find an accusation of him.

8 He but knew the purposes of them, and said to the man the withered having the hand: Arise and stand into the midst. He and having arisen stood.

9 Said then the Jesus to them: I will ask you: What is it lawful to the sabbath? to do good or to do evil? a life to save, or to kill?

10 And looking around on all them, he said to him: Stretch out the hand of thee. He and did; and was restored the hand of him as the other.

11 They and were filled madness, and they talked to one another, what they should do to the Jesus.

12 It came to pass and in the days those, he went out into the mountain to pray; and was passing the night in the place of prayer of the God.

13 And when it came day, he called to the disciples of himself; and having chosen from them twelve, whom also apostles he named;

14 (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew the brother of him, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15 Matthew and Thomas, James the of the Alpheus, and Simon the being called Zelotes,

16 Judas of James and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor);

17 and descending with them, he stood on a place level, and a crowd of disciples of him, and a multitude great of the people from all of the Judea, and Jerusalem, and of the sea–coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed from the diseases of themselves;

18 and those being troubled from spirits unclean; and they were healed.

19 And all the crowd sought to touch him; for a power from him went out, and healed all.

20 And he having lifted up the eyes of himself on the disciples of himself, he said: Blessed the poor; for yours is the kingdom of the God.

21 Blessed the hungering now; for you shall be satisfied. Blessed the weeping now; for you shall laugh.

22 Blessed are you, when may hate you the men, and when they may separate you, and they may revile, and may cast out the name of you as evil, on account of the son of the man.

23 Rejoice you in that the day, and leap you for joy; lo for, the reward of you great in the heaven; according to these for did to the prophets the fathers of them.

24 But woe to you the rich; for you have in full the comfort of you.

25 Woe to you, those having been filled; for you shall hunger. Woe to you, those laughing now; for you shall mourn and you shall weep.

26 Woe, when well you may speak the men; according to these for did to the false–prophets the fathers of them.

27 But to you I say to those hearing: Love you the enemies of you; good do you to those hating you;

28 bless you those cursing you; pray you for those traducing you.

29 To the striking thee on the creek, offer also the other; and from the taking of thee the mantle, also the tunic not thou mayest hinder.

30 To all and those asking thee give thou; and from the taking what is thine, not demand back.

31 And all you wish, that may do to you the men, also you do you to them in like manner.

32 And if you love those loving you, what to you thanks is it? and for sinners those loving them love.

33 And if you should do good those doing good you, what to you thanks is it? also for the sinners the same do.

34 And if you should lend from whom you hope to receive, what to you thanks is it? also for the sinners to sinners lead, that they may receive the like things.

35 But love you the enemies of you, and do you good and lend you nothing departing; and shall be the reward of you great, and you shall be sons of highest; for he kind is to the unthankful and evil.

36 Be you therefore compassionate, even as also the Father of you compassionate is.

37 And not judge you, and not not you may be judged; not condemn you, and not not you may be condemned; release you, and you shall be released.

38 Give you, and it shall be given to you; measure good having been pressed down and having been shaken and running over shall be given into the bosom of you; by the for same measure, with which you measure, it shall be measured again to you.

39 He spoke and a parable to them: Not is able a blind blind to lead? not both into a pit will fall?

40 Not is a disciple over the teacher of himself; having been fully qualified but every one shall be as the teacher of him.

41 Why and seest thou the splinter that in the eye of the brother of thee, the but beam that in thine own eye not perceivest?

42 or how art thou able to say to the brother of thee: O brother, allow me, I can cast out the splinter that in the eye of thee; thyself the in the eye of thee beam not beholding? O hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of the eye of thee, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the splinter that in the eye of the brother of thee.

43 Not for is a tree good, bearing fruit corrupt; nor a tree corrupt, bearing fruit good.

44 Every for tree from the own fruit is know; not fore from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they pick a cluster of grapes.

45 The good man out of the good treasure of the heart of himself brings forth the good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of the heart of himself brings forth the evil; out of for the fulness of the heart speaks the mouth of him.

46 Why and me do you call, O lord, O lord; and not do what I say?

47 All the coming to me, and hearing of me the words, and doing them, I will show to you, to whom he is like.

48 Like he is to a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; of a flood and having come, dashed against the stream the house that, and not was able to shake her; it was founded for upon the rock.

49 He but having heard, and not having done, like he is to a man having built a house on the earth without a foundation; to which dashed against the stream; and immediately it feel, and became the ruin of the house that great.

1 Jesus and his disciples went through the grain fields on a Sabbath. His disciples plucked the ears, rubbed them in their hands and ate.

2 Some of the Pharisees asked: »Why do you do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?«

3 Jesus answered: »Have you not read what David did when he was hungry. He and his companions,

4 entered into the house of God. They and the others with them ate the showbread holy bread. It is only lawful for the priest to eat it.«

5 He continued: »The Son of man is lord of the Sabbath.«

6 He entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath and taught. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They looked for a way to accuse him.

8 He knew their thoughts. So he said to the man that had the withered hand: »Stand up and come here.« He arose and stepped forward.

9 Jesus said: »I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm? Is it lawful to save a life, or to destroy it?«

10 He looked around at everyone and said to the man: »Stretch out your hand.« And he did so and his hand was restored.

11 They were all very angry and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12 He went to the mountain to pray and he continued all night in prayer to God.

13 The next day he called his disciples to choose from them twelve, whom he named apostles ambassadorsmessengers:

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

15 and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealous one,

16 And finally there was Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place. A great crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem came to hear him. Others from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.

18 Those who were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.

19 The crowd tried to touch him for power came forth from him and healed them all.

20 He looked at his disciples and said: »Blessed are you who are poor for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 »Blessed are you who hunger now for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now: for you shall laugh.

22 »Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

23 »Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. For your reward is great in heaven. Your fathers treated the prophets the same way.

24 »Woe to you who are rich! You have received your reward.

25 »Woe to you who are full now! For you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now! You will mourn and weep.

26 »Woe to you when all men speak well of you! Their fathers did the same to the prophets.

27 »I tell you who listen, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.

28 »Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.

29 »When someone slaps you on one cheek offer the other. Give your coat to the one who takes your topcoat.

30 »Give to every one who asks of you and do not demand back your goods from he who takes from you.

31 »As you would like men to do to you, do also to them.

32 »If you love those who love you what thanks do you have? Even sinners love those who love them.

33 »If you do good to those who do good to you what thanks do you have? Even sinners do the same.

34 »If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive what thanks do you have? Even sinners lend to sinners to receive again as much.

35 »Love your enemies and do good to them. Lend expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great. You will be sons of the Most High for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

36 »Be merciful even as your Father is merciful.

37 »Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

38 »Give and it shall be given to you. You will receive a good measure. It will be pressed down, shaken together, running over and they will give it to you. For with the measure that you measure out it will be measured to you also.«

39 He told them an illustration: »Can the blind guide the blind? Would they both fall into a pit?

40 »The disciple is not above his teacher. Every one will be like his teacher when he is fully trained.

41 »Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye? Yet you do not consider the beam in your own eye.

42 »How can you say to your brother: ‘Let me remove the speck in your eye when you do not notice the beam in your own eye?’ You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43 »A good tree does not produce corrupt fruit and a corrupt tree does not produce good fruit.

44 »The identity of a tree is made clear by the fruit it produces. Men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble.

45 »The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good. The evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth that which is evil. Out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

46 »Why do you call me Lord, and do not do what I tell you to do?

47 »Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.

48 »He is like a man building a house. He dug and laid a deep foundation upon the rock. A flood sent a stream of water against the house and could not shake it because it was well built.

49 »He who hears but does not do is like a man who built a house upon the earth without a foundation. A flood will send a stream of water and immediately it will fall. The ruin of that house will be great.«
