1 And  it came to pass  on  the second  sabbath  after the first  , that he  went  through  the corn fields  ; and  his  disciples  plucked  the ears of corn  , and  did eat  , rubbing  [them] in [their] hands  2 And  certain  of the Pharisees  said  to them  , Why  do you  that which  is  not  lawful  to do  on  the sabbath days  3 And  Jesus  answering  them  +  said  , Have you  not  read  so much as  this  , what  David  did  , when  himself  was a hungred  , and  they which  were  with  him  4 How  he went  into  the house  of God  , and  did take  and  eat  the showbread  +  , and  gave  also  to them that were with  him  ; which  it is  not  lawful  to eat  but for  the priests  alone  5 And  he said  to them  , That  the Son  of man  is  Lord  also  of the sabbath  6 And  it came to pass  also  on  another  sabbath  , that he  entered  into  the synagogue  and  taught  : and  there  was  a man  whose  +  right  hand  was  withered  7 And  the scribes  and  Pharisees  watched  him  , whether  he would heal  on  the sabbath day  ; that  they might find  an accusation  against him  8 But  he  knew  their  thoughts  , and  said  to the man  which  had  the withered  hand  , Rise up  , and  stand forward  in  the midst  . And  he arose  and stood forward  9 Then  said  Jesus  to  them  , I will ask  you  one thing  ; Is it lawful  on the sabbath days  to do good  , or  to do evil  ? to save  life  , or  to destroy  10 And  looking round about on  them  all  , he said  to the man  , Stretch forward  your  hand  . And  he did  so  : and  his  hand  was restored  whole  as  the other  11 And  they  were filled  with madness  ; and  communed  one with another  +  what  +  they might do  to Jesus  12 And  it came to pass  in  those  days  , that he went out  into  a mountain  to pray  , and  continued all night  +  in  prayer  to God  13 And  when  it was  day  , he called  [unto him] his  disciples  : and  of  them  he chose  twelve  , who  also  he named  apostles  14 Simon  , (Who  he also  named  Peter  ,) and  Andrew  his  brother  , James  and  John  , Philip  and  Bartholomew  15 Matthew  and  Thomas  , James  the  [son] of Alphaeus  , and  Simon  called  Zelotes  16 And Judas  [the brother] of James  , and  Judas  Iscariot  , which  also  was  the traitor  17 And  he came down  with  them  , and stood  in  the plain  +  , and  the company  of his  disciples  , and  a great  multitude  of people  out of  all  Judaea  and  Jerusalem  , and  from the sea coast  of Tyre  and  Sidon  , which  came  to hear  him  , and  to be healed  of  their  diseases  18 And  those were vexed  with  unclean  spirits  : and  they were healed  19 And  the whole  multitude  sought  to touch  him  : for  there went  virtue  out  of him  , and  healed  [them] all  20 And  he  lifted up  his  eyes  on  his  disciples  , and said  , Blessed  [be you] poor  : for  yours  is  the kingdom  of God  21 Blessed  [are you] that hunger  now  : for  you will be filled  . Blessed  [are you] that weep  now  : for  you will laugh  22 Blessed  are you  , when  men  will hate  you  , and  when  they will separate  you  [from their company], and  will rebuke  [you], and  cast out  your  name  as  evil  , for the Son  of man's  sake  23 Rejoice you  in  that  day  , and  leap for joy  : for  , see  , your  reward  [is] great  in  heaven  : for  in  the like manner  did  their  fathers  to the prophets  24 But  woe  to you  that are rich  ! for  you have received  your  consolation  25 Woe  to you  that are full  ! for  you will hunger  . Woe  to you  that laugh  now  ! for  you will mourn  and  weep  26 Woe  to you  , when  all  men  will speak  well  of you  ! for  so  +  did  their  fathers  to the false prophets  27 But  I say  to you  which  hear  , Love  your  enemies  , do  good  to them which  hate  you  28 Bless  them that curse  you  , and  pray  for  them which despitefully use  you  29 And to him that smites  you  on  the [one] cheek  offer  also  the other  ; and  him  that takes away  your  cloke  forbid  not  [to take thy] coat  also  30 +  Give  to every man  that asks  of you  ; and  of  him that takes away  your goods  ask  [them] not  again  31 And  as  you would  that  men  should do  to you  , do  you  also  to them  likewise  32 For  if  you love  them which love  you  , what  thank  have  you  ? for  sinners  also  love  those that love  them  33 And  if  you do good  to them which do good  to you  , what  thank  have  you  ? for  sinners  also do  even  the same  34 And  if  you lend  [to them] of  who  you hope  +  to receive  , what  thank  have  you  ? for  sinners  also  lend  to sinners  , to  receive  as much  again  35 But  love you  your  enemies  , and  do good  , and  lend  , hoping  for nothing  again  ; and  your  reward  will be  great  , and  you will be  the children  of the Highest  : for  he  is  kind  to  the unthankful  and  [to] the evil  36 Be you  therefore  merciful  , as  your  Father  also  is  merciful  37 +  Judge  not  , and  you will  not  be judged  : condemn  not  , and  you will  not  be condemned  : forgive  , and  you will be forgiven  38 Give  , and  it will be given  to you  ; good  measure  , pressed down  , and  shaken together  , and  running over  , will men give  into  your  bosom  . For  with the same  measure  that  you mete withal  it will be measured  to you  again  39 And  he spoke  a parable  to them  ,  Can  the blind  lead  the blind  ? will they  not  both  fall  into  the ditch  40 The disciple  is  not  above  his  master  : but  every one  that is perfect  will be  as  his  master  41 And  why  see you  the mote  that is in  your  brother's  eye  , but  perceives  not  the beam  that is in  your own  eye  42 Either  how  canst you  say  to your  brother  , Brother  , let me  pull out  the mote  that is in  your  eye  , when you  yourself  see  not  the beam  that is in  yours  own eye  ? You hypocrite  , cast out  first  the beam  out of  your own  eye  , and  then  will you see clearly  to pull out  the mote  that is in  your  brother's  eye  43 For  a good  tree  brings  +  not  forward  corrupt  fruit  ; neither  does  a corrupt  tree  bring forward  good  fruit  44 For  every  tree  is known  by  his own  fruit  . For  of  thorns  men do not  gather  figs  , nor  of  a bramble bush  gather they  grapes  45 A good  man  out of  the good  treasure  of his  heart  brings forward  that which is good  ; and  an evil  man  out of  the evil  treasure  of his  heart  brings forward  that which is evil  : for  of  the abundance  of the heart  his  mouth  speaks  46 And  why  call you  me  , Lord  , Lord  , and  do  not  the things which  I say  47 Whoever  comes  to  me  , and  hears  my  sayings  , and  does  them  , I will show  you  to who  he is  like  48 He is  like  a man  which  built  a house  , and  digged  deep  , and  laid  the foundation  on  a rock  : and  when the flood  arose  , the stream  beat vehemently  on that  house  , and  could  not  shake  it  : for  it was founded  on  a rock  49 But  he that hears  , and  does  not  , is  like  a man  that without  a foundation  built  a house  on  the earth  ; against  which  the stream  did beat vehemently  , and  immediately  it fell  ; and  the ruin  of that  house  was  great
