	MACE Mace New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	On the second-prime sabbath, as Jesus was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples happen'd to pluck the ears, and rubbing out the corn with their hands began to eat.	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	upon which some of the Pharisees said to them, why do you do what is not allowed to be done on the sabbath-day?	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	but Jesus replied, have you never read what David did, when he and his company were press'd with hunger?	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	how he went into the court of the tabernacle, took and eat the shew-bread, and distributed it likewise to the company, which the law allowed the priests only to eat?	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	the son of man, said he, may dispense even with the sabbath.	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.”
6	On another sabbath-day it happen'd, that he went into the synagogue to preach, where a man was present, who had the palsy in his right hand.	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	now the Scribes and Pharisees were upon the watch to see if he would work a cure upon the sabbath-day, and so have matter of 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 as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man, whose hand was paralytic, rise up, and stand there in the middle, and he arose, and stood before him.	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 said Jesus to them, I will ask you one question, which is the most allowable on the sabbath-day, to do good, or to neglect it? to save a man's life, or to let him perish?	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	then casting his eyes round the company, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, and he did so: and that hand was as sound 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.	He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.
11	whereupon they fell into a rage, and consulted together, what measures to take against Jesus.	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	About that time, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in an oratory.	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.
13	when it was day, he called his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom he stiled missionarys: Simon,	And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:	When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:
14	(to whom he gave the name of Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,	Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,	Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15	Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon surnamed the Zelot,	and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,	Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot,
16	Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who prov'd the traitor.	and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.	Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17	At length he came down the hill with them, and stayed with the rest of his disciples in the plain, where a great multitude of people from all Judea, from Jerusalem, and the maritime country of Tyre and Sidon, came to hear him, and to have their diseases cured.	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,	He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,
18	many that were tormented by evil spirits came likewise, and were cured.	who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.	who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured,
19	so that all the people strove to touch him: for a divine virtue flowed from him, which healed them all.	And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.	and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
20	Then directing himself to his disciples, he said, blessed are ye, that are poor: for the divine kingdom is yours.	And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.	Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21	blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be satisfied, blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall find matter of mirth.	“Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.	Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22	blessed are you, when men shall hate you, discard you, reproach you, and treat you as infamous, for your attachment to the son of man.	“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!	Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
23	then you may triumph with joy; secure of being greatly rewarded in heaven: for such was the treatment the prophets received from their forefathers.	Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.	“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24	But wo unto you that are rich: for you have received your consolation.	“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.	“But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25	wo unto you that are full: for you shall be in want, wo unto you that indulge in present pleasure: for mourning and sorrow shall attend you.	“Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.	Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26	wo unto you when the generality of men shall applaud you: for so did their forefathers behave to the false prophets.	“Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.	Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
27	But as for you, who hear me, love your enemies: do good to those, who hate you: bless those, who curse you:	“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,	“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28	and pray for those, who maliciously abuse you.	bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.	bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29	if any one strike you on one cheek, present to him the other likewise: or if any one seize your cloak, surrender your coat also.	To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either.	If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
30	give to all that ask: and if a man takes away your goods, don't demand them again.	Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.	Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
31	behave to others in the same manner, as you desire they would behave to you.	And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.	Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32	for if you only love those, who love you, where's the obligation? the very heathen return love for love.	“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.	“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33	if you return one kind office by another, where's the obligation? the heathen themselves do as much.	And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.	And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.
34	if you lend with the expectation of gaining by it, where's the obligation? for the heathen lend to one another, for the prospect of an equivalent.	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.	And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35	but as for you, love your enemies, do good, and lend without expecting any advantage from it: so shall your reward be great, in acting like the children of the most high: for he is kind to the most ungrateful wretches.	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 evil.	But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36	be ye therefore merciful, as your father is merciful.	Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.	Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37	don't judge others, and you shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven.	“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;	“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38	give and you shall receive: they shall pour into your lap good measure, well pressed, heap'd up, and running over, for in the measure you deal with others, you shall be dealt with yourselves.	give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”	Give, and it will be given to you.

Will they not both fall into a pit?	He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40	The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.	A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.	The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
41	How comes it, that you can see the mote in your brother's eye, and not see the beam that is in your own 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	or how can you say to your brother, brother, let me take out the mote, that is in your eye, when you your self don't discern the beam that is in your own eye? hypocrite, first remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's 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.	How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
43	Certainly a good tree does not produce bad fruit: nor does a bad tree produce good fruit.	“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 every tree is known by its fruit: it is not on thorns that men gather figs, nor do they gather grapes on a bramble bush.	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 produces what is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil: for 'tis from the abundance of the heart, that the 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	Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not observe what I say?	“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?
47	I will show you, who that man is like, who comes to me, and practises what I prescribe.	Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:	As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.
48	he is like a man who in building a house, digg'd deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: an inundation came, the current beat impetuously upon that house, but could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.	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 he that does not practise what he hears, is like a man who built his house upon the loose earth without any foundation: the current beat impetuously against it: in the instant down it fell, and great were its ruins.	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.”
