1One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

1One time Jesus was walking through some grain fields on a Sabbath. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

2But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

2Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what isn't lawful on Sabbath days?"

3Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

3Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions became hungry?

4He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

4How was it that he went into the house of God, took the Bread of the Presence and ate it, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and then gave some of it to his companions?"

5Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

5Then he told them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

6On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

6Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.

7Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

7The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.

8But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

8But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue." So he got up and stood there.

9Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

9Then Jesus asked them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"

10And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

10He looked around at all of them and then told the man, "Hold out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored to health.

11But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

11The others were furious and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.

12In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

20Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

20Then Jesus looked at his disciples and said, "How blessed are you who are destitute, because the kingdom of God is yours!

21Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

21How blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be satisfied! How blessed are you who are crying now, because you will laugh!

22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

22"How blessed are you whenever people hate you, avoid you, insult you, and slander you because of the Son of Man!

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

23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because your reward in heaven is great! That's the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

24But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

24"But how terrible it will be for you who are rich, because you have had your comfort!

25Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

25How terrible it will be for you who are full now, because you will be hungry! How terrible it will be for you who are laughing now, because you will mourn and cry!

26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

26"How terrible it will be for you when everyone says nice things about you, because that's the way their ancestors used to treat the false prophets!"

41Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

41"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

43"A good tree doesn't produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn't produce good fruit,

44For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

44because every tree is known by its own fruit. People don't gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush.

45The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.

45A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure, because the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart."

47I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.

48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49But the person who hears what I say but doesn't act on it is like someone who built a house on the ground without any foundation. When the floodwaters pushed against it, that house quickly collapsed, and the resulting destruction of that house was extensive."
