Luke 6:1-33 ▼

1 It happened on an after saboth that he went thorow the corne felde and that his disciples plucked the eares of corne and ate and rubbed them in their hondes.

2 And certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Why do ye that which is not laufull to do on the saboth dayes?

3 And Iesus answered them and sayde: Have ye not redde what David dyd when he him sylfe was anhungred and they which were with him:

4 how he went into the housse of God and toke and ate the loves of halowed breed and gave also to them which were with him: which was not laufull to eate but for the prestes only.

5 And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde of the saboth daye.

6 And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to ye sinagoge and taught. And ther was a ma whose right honde was dryed vp.

7 And ye Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.

8 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had ye wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe.

9 Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it?

10 And he behelde them all in copasse and sayd vnto ye man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other.

11 And they were filled full of madnes and comuned one with another what they myght do to Iesu.

12 And it fortuned in thoose dayes that he went out into a mountayne for to praye and cotinued all nyght in prayer to god.

13 And assone as it was daye he called his disciples and of the he chose twelve which also he called apostles.

14 Simon who he named Peter: and Andrew his brother. Iames and Iho Philip and Bartlemew

15 Mathew and Thomas Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simon called zelotes

16 and Iudas Iames sonne and Iudas Iscarioth which same was the traytour.

17 And he came doune with them and stode in the playne felde with the company of his disciples and agreate multitude of people out of all parties of Iurie and Ierusalem and from the see cooste of Tire and Sidon which came to heare hym and to be healed of their diseases:

18 and they also that were vexed with foule spretes and they were healed.

19 And all the people preased to touche him: for there went vertue out of him and healed them all.

20 And he lifted vp his eyes apon the disciples and sayde: Blessed be ye poore: for yours is the kyngdome of God.

21 Blessed are ye that honger now: for ye shalbe satisfied. Blessed are ye yt wepe now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake.

23 Reioyse ye then and be gladde: fo r beholde youre rewarde is greate in heven. After this manner their fathers entreated the Prophetes.

24 But wo be to you that are ryche: for ye have therin youre consolacion.

25 Wo be to you yt are full: for ye shall honger. Wo be to you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle and wepe.

26 Wo be to you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes.

27 But I saye vnto you which heare: Love youre enemyes. Do good to the which hate you.

28 Blesse the that course you. And praye for the which wrongfully trouble you.

29 And vnto him that smyteth the on the one cheke offer also ye other. And him that taketh awaye thy goune forbid not to take thy coote also.

30 Geve to every man that axeth of the. And of him that taketh awaye thy goodes axe them not agayne.

31 And as ye wolde that men shuld doo to you: so do ye to them lyke wyse.

32 If ye love the which love you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners love their lovers.

33 And yf ye do for them which do for you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners do even the same.
