On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.	One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.
2	And certaine of the Pharises sayde vnto them, Why doe ye that which is not lawfull to doe on the Sabbath dayes?	But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”	Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3	Then Iesus answered them, and said, Haue ye not read this, that Dauid did when he himselfe was an hungred, and they which were with him,	And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:	Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4	Howe he went into the house of God, and tooke, and ate the shewbread, and gaue also to them which were with him, which was not lawful to eate, but for the Priests onely?	how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?”	He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”
5	And he sayd vnto them, The Sonne of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day.	And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”	Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.	On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled.
7	And the Scribes & Pharises watched him, whether he would heale on the Sabbath day, that they might finde an accusation against him.	And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.	The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.
8	But he knew their thoughts, and sayd to the man which had the withered hand, Arise, and stand vp in the middes; hee arose, and stoode vp.	But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there.	But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.
9	Then sayd Iesus vnto them, I will aske you a question, Whether is it lawfull on the Sabbath dayes to doe good, or to doe euill? to saue life, or to destroy?	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?”	Then 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?”
10	And he behelde them all in compasse, and sayd vnto the man, Stretch forth thine hand; he did so, and his hand was restored againe, as whole as the other.	And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.

11	Then they were filled full of madnes, and communed one with another, what they might doe to Iesus.	But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.	But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12	And it came to passe in those dayes, that he went into a mountaine to praye, & spent the night in prayer to God.	In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.	One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

34	And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receiue, what thanke shall yee haue? for euen the sinners lend to sinners, to receiue the like.	And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.

41	And why seest thou a mote in thy brothers eye, and considerest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?	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?	“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
42	Either howe canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou seest not the beame that is in thine owne eye? Hypocrite, cast out the beame out of thine owne eye first, and then shalt thou see, perfectly to pull out the mote that is in thy brothers eye.	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 it is not a good tree that bringeth foorth euill fruite: neither an euill tree, that bringeth foorth good fruite.	“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,	“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44	For euery tree is knowen by his owne fruite: for neither of thornes gather men figges, nor of bushes gather they grapes.	for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.	Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
45	A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good, and an euill man out of the euill treasure of his heart bringeth foorth euill: for of the aboundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.	The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.	A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
46	But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I speake?	“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?	“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

48	He is like a man which built an house, and digged deepe, and layde the fundation on a rocke: and when the waters arose, the flood beat vpon that house, and coulde not shake it: for it was grounded vpon a rocke.	he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.	They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49	But hee that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built an house vpon the earth without foundation, against which the flood did beate, and it fell by and by: and the fall of that house was great.	But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”	But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
