    Luke

     

    Luke, chapter 6

    1: On a sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
    2: But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?"
    3: And Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
    4: how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?"
    5: And he said to them, "The Son of man is lord of the sabbath."
    6: On another sabbath, when he entered the synagogue and taught, a man was there whose right hand was withered.
    7: And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.
    8: But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there.
    9: And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?"
    10: And he looked around on them all, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored.
    11: But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
    12: In these days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God.
    13: And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles;
    14: Simon, whom he 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 Zealot,
    16: and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
    17: And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
    18: and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
    19: And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.
    20: And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
    21: "Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh.
    22: "Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man!
    23: Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
    24: "But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation.
    25: "Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. "Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
    26: "Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
    27: "But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
    28: bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
    29: To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
    30: Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again.
    31: And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
    32: "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
    33: And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
    34: And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
    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 is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.
    36: Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
    37: "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
    38: give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back."
    39: He also told them a parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
    40: A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one when he is fully taught will be like his teacher.
    41: Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
    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.
    43: "For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit;
    44: for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.
    45: The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
    46: "Why do you call me `Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?
    47: Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
    48: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
    49: But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
     
     

    Luke, chapter 10

    29: But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
    30: Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
    31: Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.
    32: So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
    33: But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion,
    34: and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
    35: And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'
    36: Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"
    37: He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
     
     

    Luke, chapter 12

    22: And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.
    23: For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
    24: Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!
    25: And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?
    26: If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
    27: Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
    28: But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
    29: And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.
    30: For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.
    31: Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.
    32: "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
    33: Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
    34: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
     

    Luke, chapter 16

    19: "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
    20: And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz'arus, full of sores,
    21: who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
    22: The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried;
    23: and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz'arus in his bosom.
    24: And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz'arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'
    25: But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz'arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
    26: And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
    27: And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house,
    28: for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
    29: But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
    30: And he said, `No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
    31: He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"
