Chapter 6
Luke Godbey 6:1  And it came to pass on the second Sabbath, He was going through the cornfields; and His disciples were plucking the ears, and eating, shelling them out with their hands.
Luke Godbey 6:2  And certain ones of the Pharisees said to them, Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?
Luke Godbey 6:3  Jesus responded and said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those being with him?
Luke Godbey 6:4  How he entered into the house of God, and how he took the shewbread, and ate it, and gave it to those with him; which is not lawful to eat, except the priests only?
Luke Godbey 6:5  And He said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath also.
Luke Godbey 6:6  And it came to pass on another Sabbath, that He came into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there, whose right hand was withered.
Luke Godbey 6:7  And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they may find accusation against Him.
Luke Godbey 6:8  But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man having the withered hand, Rise up, and stand in the midst; and he having arisen stood.
Luke Godbey 6:9  And Jesus said to them, I will ask you; What is lawful on the Sabbath; to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy?
Luke Godbey 6:10  And looking around upon them all, He said to him, Reach forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.
Luke Godbey 6:11  And they were filled with rage; and they were talking one to another what they might do to Jesus.
Luke Godbey 6:12  And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into the mountain to pray; and was there through the night in the prayer of God.
Luke Godbey 6:13  And when it was day, He called His disciples to Him: and having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles;
Luke Godbey 6:14  Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John. Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke Godbey 6:15  Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealot;
Luke Godbey 6:16  and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became His betrayer.
Luke Godbey 6:17  And having come down with them, He stood upon a level place, and a great multitude of His disciples, and a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and Tyre and Sidon by the sea, who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luke Godbey 6:18  and those troubled by unclean spirits; and they were getting healed.
Luke Godbey 6:19  And the whole multitude sought to touch Him: because power was going out from Him, and was healing all.
Luke Godbey 6:20  And He lifting up His eyes to His disciples, said, Blessed are ye poor: because the kingdom of God is yours.
Luke Godbey 6:21  Blessed are ye who hunger now: because ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye who weep now: because ye shall laugh.
Luke Godbey 6:22  Blessed are ye, when the people may hate you, and when they may separate you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of man.
Luke Godbey 6:23  Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold your reward in heaven is great: for according to these things were their fathers accustomed to do to the prophets.
Luke Godbey 6:24  Moreover woe unto you rich! because you exhaust your reward.
Luke Godbey 6:25  Woe unto you who are full! because you shall hunger. Woe unto you who are now laughing because you shall weep and mourn.
Luke Godbey 6:26  Woe unto you when all the people may speak well of you! because according to the same things their fathers were accustomed to do to the false prophets.
Luke Godbey 6:27  But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies with divine love, and do good to those that hate you,
Luke Godbey 6:28  bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.
Luke Godbey 6:29  To the one smiting thee on the cheek turn the other also; and from the one taking away thy cloak do not withhold even the coat.
Luke Godbey 6:30  Give to every one asking thee, and turn not away from the one taking thy possessions,
Luke Godbey 6:31  And as you wish that the people may do unto you, do ye unto them even likewise.
Luke Godbey 6:32  If you love those who love you, what grace is there to you? for even sinners love those who love them.
Luke Godbey 6:33  And if you may do good to those doing good to you, what grace is there to you? for sinners also do the same.
Luke Godbey 6:34  And if you may lend to those from whom you may hope to receive, what grace is there to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive back the equivalent.
Luke Godbey 6:35  Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.
Luke Godbey 6:36  Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is indeed merciful.
Luke Godbey 6:37  And criticise not, and you can not be criticised. Condemn not, and you can not be condemned.
Luke Godbey 6:38  Forgive, and you shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, heaped up, and shaken down, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with the same measure, which you measure, it will be measured unto you.
Luke Godbey 6:39  And He spoke a parable unto them, Whether is the blind able to lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?
Luke Godbey 6:40  The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one having been made perfect shall be as his teacher.
Luke Godbey 6:41  But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?
Luke Godbey 6:42  Or how are you able to say to your brother; Brother, permit me, I will cast out the mote which is in thine eye, yourself not seeing the beam which is in your own eye? O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote which is in the eye of your brother.
Luke Godbey 6:43  For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.
Luke Godbey 6:44  For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble.
Luke Godbey 6:45  The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart brings forth that which is wicked: for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.
Luke Godbey 6:46  But why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Luke Godbey 6:47  Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing the same, I will show you to whom he is like.
Luke Godbey 6:48  He is like unto a man building a house, who dug and went down deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock: and there being a flood, the river broke against that house, and it was not able to shake it; for it was founded on the rock.
Luke Godbey 6:49  But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.
