1And it came to pass on a Sabbath [that] He is passing through grainfields, and His disciples were plucking and were eating the heads of grain, rubbing [them] in the hands.
2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you⁺ do what is not lawful [on] the Sabbaths?”
3And answering, Jesus said to them, “Did you⁺ not even read this, what David did when he was hungry—he and those being with him:
4how he entered into the house of God and, having taken the loaves of the presentation, he ate and gave to those with him—which it is not lawful to eat, except only for the priests?”
5And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6And it came to pass on another Sabbath [that] He entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7And the scribes and the Pharisees were closely watching Him, whether He heals on the Sabbath, so that they might find [reason] to accuse Him.
8And He had known their reasonings, and He said to the man having the withered hand, “Arise and stand in the midst.” And having risen up, he stood.
9Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you⁺, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?”
10And having looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did, and his hand was restored.
11And they were filled with madness, and they were discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12And it came to pass in those days [that] He went out to the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God.
13And when it became day, He summoned His disciples, also having chosen out from them twelve, whom He also named apostles:
14Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
15and Matthew and Thomas, and James [son of] Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
16and Judas [son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a betrayer.
17And having come down with them, He stood on a level place, and a great crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
18who came to hear Him and to be healed from their diseases. And those troubled from unclean spirits were healed.
19And all the crowd was seeking to touch Him, because power was going out from Him and was healing all.
20And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, was saying: “Blessed [are] the poor, because yours⁺ is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed [are] those hungering now, because you⁺ will be filled. Blessed [are] those weeping now, because you⁺ will laugh.
22Blessed are you⁺ when men may hate you⁺, and when they may exclude you⁺ and may reproach [you] and may cast out your⁺ name as evil, on account of the Son of Man.
23Rejoice in that day and leap, for behold, your⁺ reward [is] great in heaven. For according to the same their fathers were doing to the prophets.
24But woe to you⁺ who [are] rich, because you⁺ have your⁺ comfort in full.
25Woe to you⁺ who have been filled now, because you⁺ will hunger. Woe [to] those laughing now, because you⁺ will mourn and weep.
26Woe when all men may speak well of you⁺, for according to the same their fathers were doing to the false prophets.
27But to you⁺ who [are] hearing I say: Love your⁺ enemies, do good to those hating you⁺,
28bless those cursing you⁺, pray for those mistreating you⁺.
29To the one striking you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the one taking away your cloak, do not withhold also [your] tunic.
30To everyone asking you, give, and from the one taking away what [is] yours⁺, do not demand [it] back.
31And just as you⁺ want that men may do to you⁺, do to them likewise.
32And if you⁺ love those loving you⁺, what grace is it to you⁺? For even the sinners love those loving them.
33For even if you⁺ do good to those doing good to you⁺, what grace is it to you⁺? Even the sinners do the same.
34And if you⁺ lend [to] [those] from whom you⁺ expect to receive back, what grace is it to you⁺? Even sinners lend to sinners, that they might receive back the equivalent.
35But love your⁺ enemies, and do good, and lend expecting nothing back. And your⁺ reward will be great, and you⁺ will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and evil.
36Be merciful, as also your⁺ Father is merciful.
37And do not judge, and you⁺ shall not be judged; and do not condemn, and you⁺ shall not be condemned; release, and you⁺ will be released.
38Give, and it will be given to you⁺. A good measure, pressed down, shaken, running over, they will give into your⁺ bosom. For with what measure you⁺ measure, it will be measured back to you⁺.”
39And He also spoke a parable to them: “Is] a blind [man] able to guide a blind [man]? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40A disciple is not above [his] teacher, but everyone fully trained will be like his teacher.
41And why do you look at the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother, but not notice the beam that [is] in [your] own eye?
42How are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit [that] I might cast out the splinter that [is] in your eye,’ yourself not seeing the beam in your eye? Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother.
43For there is no good tree producing rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree producing good fruit.
44For each tree is known by [its] own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.
45The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what [is] good, and the evil out of the evil brings forth what [is] evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46And why do you⁺ call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?
47Everyone who is coming to Me and hearing My words and doing them, I will show you⁺ whom he is like.
48He is like a man building a house, who dug and deepened and laid a foundation on the rock. And a flood having come, the river burst upon that house, and it was not able to shake it, because it [was] well built.
49But the one having heard and not having done is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the river burst, and immediately it fell—and the ruin of that house was great!”
2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you⁺ do what is not lawful [on] the Sabbaths?”
3And answering, Jesus said to them, “Did you⁺ not even read this, what David did when he was hungry—he and those being with him:
