The New Testament: The Gospel According to St. Luke: Chapter 6
|
|
{3}
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;
|
{4}
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
|
{5}
And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
|
{6}
And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
|
{7}
And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.
|
{8}
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
|
{9}
And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?
|
{10}
And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored.
|
{11}
But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
|
{12}
And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
|
{13}
And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:
|
{14}
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
|
{15}
and Matthew and Thomas, and James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
|
{16}
and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;
|
{17}
and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
|
{18}
and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
|
{19}
And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed [them] all.
|
{20}
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [are] ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
|
{21}
Blessed [are] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are] ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
|
{22}
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
|
{23}
Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
