Luke 6
Literal Emphasis Translation Par ▾ 
1And it happened on the Sabbath, He was passing along through the grainfields; and His disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2However some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do that which is not permitted (lawful) on the Sabbath? 3And Jesus answering to them, said, Have you not even read this, that which David did, when he himself was hungry, and those who were with him; 4How he entered into the house of God, and having taken the bread of the presence, ate, and gave to those with him, which is not permitted to eat, except only the priests? 5And He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.

6And it happened on another Sabbath, He entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 7And the scribes and Pharisees were closely watching Him, if He will heal (therapeuei) on the Sabbath, so that they might find [reason] to accuse Him. 8And He knew their reasonings (dialogues) and said to the man having the withered hand, Arise, and stand into the midst. And he having risen up, stood. 9And Jesus said to them, I ask you, whether it is permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil? To save life (psyche-soul) or to destroy? 10And having looked around on them all, He said to him, Stretch out your hand. And he did, and his hand was restored. 11However they were filled with irrationality (mindlessness, madness, anoia-no mind), and discussed with one another as to what they should do to Jesus.

12And it happened in those days, He went out unto the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God. 13And when it became day, He called His disciples to Him, and having chosen out from them twelve, whom he also named apostles; 14Simon whom also He named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; 15and Matthew and Thomas; and James son of Alphaeus; and Simon the one called Zealot; 16And Judas son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who became the betrayer.

17And having come down with them, He stood upon a level place, and a large crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of the people from all of Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, Who came to hear Him, and to be healed (iathenai) from their diseases. 18And those disturbed from unclean spirits were healed (etherapeuonto). 19And all the crowd sought to touch Him; because power from Him was going out and healed (iato) all.

20And He, having lifted up His eyes unto His disciples, said, Blessed (Made large) are the poor (destitute, beggarly), because yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are those hungering now, because you will be feed. Blessed are those weeping now, because you will laugh. 22Blessed are you when men shall hate (detest) you, and when they shall exclude you, and shall insult (revile, reproach) you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man; 23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things so did their fathers likewise do to the prophets.

24However woe to you who are rich, because you are receiving your entreaty. 25Woe to you who having been filled now, because you will hunger. Woe to those laughing now, because you will mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for according to these things their fathers likewise did to the false prophets.

27But I say to you hearing: Love your enemies (those openly hostile), do good (kalos) to those hating (detesting) you, 28Bless those cursing you, pray concerning those abusively reviling upon (latin-calumniantibus-slander oppress at its root, to intimidate by using threats and false accusations tailor made to the situation) you. 29To the one striking you upon the cheek (jawbone), offer (present, furnish) also the other; And from the one taking away your cloak (outer garment), also the tunic (undergarment) do not withhold. 30To everyone asking you, give; and from the one taking away what is yours, do not ask it back; 31And just as you wish that men should do to you, do to them likewise. 32And if you love those loving you, what credit (favor, grace) is it to you? For even sinners love those loving them. 33And if you do good to those doing good to you, what credit (favor, grace) is it to you? For even sinners do the same. 34And if you lend to those from whom you except to receive, what credit (favor, grace) is it to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they might receive equal amount. 35However 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; because He is benevolent (usefully kind) upon the ungrateful (ungraceful) and evil. 36Be you merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.

37And do not judge, and you should not be judged; and do not condemn, and you should not be condemned. Remit and you will be remitted. 38Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken, pouring over, will they given into your bosom (upper chest), for with that measure you measure, it will be measured in return (reciprocity) to you.

39And He spoke also a parable to them, Is a blind man able to guide a blind man? Will not both fall into a pit? 40The disciple is not above the teacher; however everyone fully trained (completed, fit together, exactly adjusted) will be like as his teacher. 41And why do you look at the speck (small dry chip/splinter/stalk of wood) that is in the eye of your brother, and not notice the beam (supporting rafter) that is in your own eye? 42How are you able to say to your brother, Brother, Let that I might cast out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam in your eye? Hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the speck that is in the eye of your brother.

43For there is no good tree producing bad (rotten, worthless, corrupt) fruit; nor again a bad (rotten, corrupt) tree producing good fruit; 44For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from out of thorns, nor do they gather clusters of grapes from out of a bramble bush. 45The good man brings forth (produces) that which is good from out of the good treasure of his heart; and the evil man brings forth (produces) that which is evil. For from out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.

46And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do 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 upon rock; and a flood having come, the stream (river) broke against that house and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been well built. 49And the one having heard and having not done is like to a man having built a house upon the ground without a foundation; on which the stream (river) broke against and it directly fell and the ruin of that house was great.
