Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath |
|
|
 |
|
Luke 6:1
|
|
Now it happened that He was passing through
some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain,
rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:2
|
|
But some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you
do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:3
|
|
And Jesus answering them said, "Have
you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with
him, |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:4
|
|
how he entered the house
of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to
eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?" |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:5
|
|
And He was saying to them, "The
Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:6
|
|
On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue
and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:7
|
|
The scribes and the Pharisees were watching
Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason
to accuse Him. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:8
|
|
But He knew what they were thinking, and He
said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come
forward!" And he got up and came forward. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:9
|
|
And Jesus said to them, "I
ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life
or to destroy it?" |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:10
|
|
After looking around at them all, He said to
him, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did so; and
his hand was restored. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:11
|
|
But they themselves were filled with rage, and
discussed together what they might do to Jesus. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Choosing the Twelve |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:12
|
|
It was at this time that He went off to the
mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:13
|
|
And when day came, He called His disciples to
Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles: |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:14
|
|
Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew
his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:15
|
|
and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus,
and Simon who was called the Zealot; |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:16
|
|
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot,
who became a traitor. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:17
|
|
Jesus came down with them and stood on a level
place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people
from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:18
|
|
who had come to hear Him and to be healed of
their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. |
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:19
|
|
And all the people were trying to touch Him,
for power was coming from Him and healing them all. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Beatitudes |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:20
|
|
And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He
began to say, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is
the kingdom of God. |
| |
|
|
|
Luke 6:21
|
|
Blessed are you who hunger
now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:22
|
|
Blessed are you when men
hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for
the sake of the Son of Man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:23
|
|
Be glad in that day and
leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way
their fathers used to treat the prophets. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:24
|
|
But woe to you who are
rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:25
|
|
Woe to you who are well-fed
now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and
weep. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:26
|
|
Woe to you when all men
speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same
way. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:27
|
|
"But I say to you who
hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:28
|
|
bless those who curse
you, pray for those who mistreat you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:29
|
|
Whoever hits you on the
cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold
your shirt from him either. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:30
|
|
Give to everyone who asks
of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:31
|
|
Treat others the same
way you want them to treat you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:32
|
|
If you love those who
love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:33
|
|
If you do good to those
who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:34
|
|
If you lend to those
from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend
to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:35
|
|
But love your enemies,
and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and
evil men. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:36
|
|
Be merciful, just as your
Father is merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:37
|
|
"Do not judge, and you
will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon,
and you will be pardoned. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:38
|
|
Give, and it will be given
to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together,
and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in
return." |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:39
|
|
And He also spoke a parable to them: "A
blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:40
|
|
A pupil is not above his
teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:41
|
|
Why do you look at the
speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your
own eye? |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:42
|
|
Or how can you say to
your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you
yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take
the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck
that is in your brother's eye. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:43
|
|
For there is no good tree
which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good
fruit. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:44
|
|
For each tree is known
by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes
from a briar bush. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:45
|
|
The good man out of the
good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of
the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which
fills his heart. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Builders and Foundations |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:46
|
|
"Why do you call Me, 'Lord,
Lord,' and do not do what I say? |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:47
|
|
Everyone who comes to
Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:48
|
|
he is like a man building
a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred,
the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been
well built. |
|
|
|
|
|
Luke 6:49
|
|
But the one who has heard
and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without
any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed,
and the ruin of that house was great." |
