路加福音 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
安息日的主(A)
6 有一個安息日,耶穌從麥田經過,他的門徒摘了麥穗,用手搓著吃。 2 有幾個法利賽人說:“你們為甚麼作安息日不可作的事呢?” 3 耶穌回答:“大衛和跟他在一起的人,在飢餓的時候所作的,你們沒有念過嗎? 4 他不是進了 神的殿,吃了陳設餅,也給跟他在一起的人吃嗎?這餅除了祭司以外,別的人是不可以吃的。” 5 他又對他們說:“人子是安息日的主。”
治好手枯的人(B)
6 另一個安息日,耶穌進入會堂教導人,在那裡有一個人,右手枯乾, 7 經學家和法利賽人要看他會不會在安息日治病,好找把柄控告他。 8 耶穌知道他們的意念,就對那一隻手枯乾了的人說:“起來,站在當中!”那人就起來站著。 9 耶穌對他們說:“我問你們:在安息日哪一樣是可以作的呢:作好事還是壞事?救命還是害命?” 10 他環視周圍所有的人,就對那人說:“伸出你的手來!”他把手一伸,手就復原了。 11 他們卻大怒,彼此商議怎樣對付耶穌。
選立十二使徒(C)
12 在那些日子,有一次耶穌出去到山上禱告,整夜禱告 神。 13 天亮以後,他把門徒叫來,從他們中間挑選了十二個人,稱他們為使徒, 14 就是西門(又給他起名叫彼得),和他弟弟安得烈,以及雅各、約翰、腓力、巴多羅邁、 15 馬太、多馬、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、稱為激進派的西門、 16 雅各的兒子猶大,和出賣主的加略人猶大。
論福論禍(D)
17 耶穌和他們下了山,站在平地上,有一大群門徒同他在一起,又有一大批從猶太全地、耶路撒冷和推羅、西頓海邊來的人。 18 他們要聽他講道,也要他們的疾病得醫好。還有一些被污靈纏擾的也痊愈了。 19 群眾都設法摸他,因為有能
力從他身上出來,治好眾人。 20 耶穌抬頭看著門徒,說:
“貧窮的人有福了,
因為 神的國是你們的。
21 飢餓的人有福了,
因為你們要得飽足。
哀哭的人有福了,
因為你們將要喜樂。
22 世人為人子的緣故憎恨你們、排斥你們、辱罵你們,棄絕你們的名好像棄絕惡物,你們就有福了。 23 那時你們應該歡喜跳躍,因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的,他們的祖先對待先知也是這樣。
24 “然而你們富有的人有禍了,
因為你們已經得了你們的安慰。
25 你們飽足的人有禍了,
因為你們將要飢餓。
你們喜樂的人有禍了,
因為你們將要痛哭。
26 人都說你們好的時候,你們就有禍了,因為你們的祖先對待假先知也是這樣。
當愛仇敵(E)
27 “只是我告訴你們聽道的人:當愛你們的仇敵,善待恨你們的人。 28 咒詛你們的,要為他們祝福,凌辱你們的,要為他們禱告。 29 有人打你一邊的臉,把另一邊也轉給他打;有人拿你的外衣,連內衣也讓他拿去。 30 向你求的,就給他;有人拿去你的東西,不用再要回來。 31 你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們就應當怎樣待人。 32 如果單愛那些愛你們的人,那有甚麼好處呢?罪人也愛那些愛他們的人。 33 如果只善待那些善待你們的人,那有甚麼好處呢?罪人也會這樣行。 34 如果借給人,又指望向人收回,那有甚麼好處呢?罪人也借給罪人,要如數收回。 35 你們要愛仇敵,善待他們;借出去,不要指望償還;這樣你們的賞賜就大了,你們也必作至高者的兒子,因為 神自己也寬待忘恩的和惡人。 36 你們要仁慈像你們的父仁慈一樣。
不可判斷(F)
37 “你們不要判斷人,就必不受判斷;不要定人的罪,就必不被定罪;要饒恕人,就必蒙饒恕; 38 要給人,就必有給你們的;並且要用十足的升斗,連按帶搖,上尖下流地倒在你們懷裡;因為你們用甚麼升斗量給人,就必用甚麼升斗量給你們。” 39 耶穌又用比喻對他們說:“瞎子怎能給瞎子領路呢?兩個人不都要掉在坑裡嗎? 40 學生不能勝過老師,所有學成的,不過和老師一樣。 41 為甚麼看得見你弟兄眼中的木屑,卻想不到自己眼中的梁木呢? 42 你不看見自己眼中的梁木,怎能對你弟兄說:‘弟兄,容我除去你眼中的木屑’呢?偽君子啊!先去掉自己眼中的梁木,才能看得清楚,好去掉弟兄眼中的木屑。
壞樹不能結好果子(G)
43 “因為好樹不能結壞果子,壞樹不能結好果子。 44 憑著果子就可以認出樹來。人不能從荊棘上採無花果,也不能從蒺藜裡摘葡萄。 45 良善的人從心中所存的良善發出良善,邪惡的人從心中所存的邪惡發出邪惡;因為心中所充滿的,口裡就說出來。
聽道要行道(H)
46 “你們為甚麼稱呼我‘主啊!主啊!’卻不遵行我的吩咐呢? 47 每一個到我跟前,聽我的話並且去行的,我要指示你們他像甚麼人。 48 他像一個人建造房屋,挖深了地,把根基建在磐石上。大水氾濫的時候,急流沖擊那房屋,不能使它動搖,因為它建造得好。 49 但那聽見而不遵行的,就像人在地上建屋,沒有根基,急流一沖,就立刻倒塌,毀壞得很厲害。”

Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
6 有 一 個 安 息 日 , 耶 穌 從 麥 地 經 過 。 他 的 門 徒 掐 了 麥 穗 , 用 手 搓 著 吃 。
2 有 幾 個 法 利 賽 人 說 : 你 們 為 甚 麼 作 安 息 日 不 可 作 的 事 呢 ?
3 耶 穌 對 他 們 說 : 經 上 記 著 大 衛 和 跟 從 他 的 人 飢 餓 之 時 所 作 的 事 , 連 這 個 你 們 也 沒 有 念 過 麼 ?
4 他 怎 麼 進 了 神 的 殿 , 拿 陳 設 餅 吃 , 又 給 跟 從 的 人 吃 ? 這 餅 除 了 祭 司 以 外 , 別 人 都 不 可 吃 。
5 又 對 他 們 說 : 人 子 是 安 息 日 的 主 。
6 又 有 一 個 安 息 日 , 耶 穌 進 了 會 堂 教 訓 人 , 在 那 裡 有 一 個 人 右 手 枯 乾 了 。
7 文 士 和 法 利 賽 人 窺 探 耶 穌 , 在 安 息 日 治 病 不 治 病 , 要 得 把 柄 去 告 他 。
8 耶 穌 卻 知 道 他 們 的 意 念 , 就 對 那 枯 乾 一 隻 手 的 人 說 : 起 來 ! 站 在 當 中 。 那 人 就 起 來 , 站 著 。
9 耶 穌 對 他 們 說 : 我 問 你 們 , 在 安 息 日 行 善 行 惡 , 救 命 害 命 , 那 樣 是 可 以 的 呢 ?
10 他 就 周 圍 看 著 他 們 眾 人 , 對 那 人 說 : 伸 出 手 來 ! 他 把 手 一 伸 , 手 就 復 了 原 。
11 他 們 就 滿 心 大 怒 , 彼 此 商 議 怎 樣 處 治 耶 穌 。
12 那 時 , 耶 穌 出 去 , 上 山 禱 告 , 整 夜 禱 告 神 ;
13 到 了 天 亮 , 叫 他 的 門 徒 來 , 就 從 他 們 中 間 挑 選 十 二 個 人 , 稱 他 們 為 使 徒 。
14 這 十 二 個 人 有 西 門 , 耶 穌 又 給 他 起 名 叫 彼 得 , 還 有 他 兄 弟 安 得 烈 , 又 有 雅 各 和 約 翰 , 腓 力 和 巴 多 羅 買 ,
15 馬 太 和 多 馬 , 亞 勒 腓 的 兒 子 雅 各 和 奮 銳 黨 的 西 門 ,

18 還 有 被 污 鬼 纏 磨 的 , 也 得 了 醫 治 。
19 眾 人 都 想 要 摸 他 ; 因 為 有 能 力 從 他 身 上 發 出 來 , 醫 好 了 他 們 。
20 耶 穌 舉 目 看 著 門 徒 , 說 : 你 們 貧 窮 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 為 神 的 國 是 你 們 的 。
21 你 們 飢 餓 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 為 你 們 將 要 飽 足 。 你 們 哀 哭 的 人 有 福 了 ! 因 為 你 們 將 要 喜 笑 。
22 人 為 人 子 恨 惡 你 們 , 拒 絕 你 們 , 辱 罵 你 們 , 棄 掉 你 們 的 名 , 以 為 是 惡 , 你 們 就 有 福 了 !
23 當 那 日 , 你 們 要 歡 喜 跳 躍 , 因 為 你 們 在 天 上 的 賞 賜 是 大 的 。 他 們 的 祖 宗 待 先 知 也 是 這 樣 。
24 但 你 們 富 足 的 人 有 禍 了 ! 因 為 你 們 受 過 你 們 的 安 慰 。
25 你 們 飽 足 的 人 有 禍 了 ! 因 為 你 們 將 要 飢 餓 。 你 們 喜 笑 的 人 有 禍 了 ! 因 為 你 們 將 要 哀 慟 哭 泣 。
26 人 都 說 你 們 好 的 時 候 , 你 們 就 有 禍 了 ! 因 為 他 們 的 祖 宗 待 假 先 知 也 是 這 樣 。
27 只 是 我 告 訴 你 們 這 聽 道 的 人 , 你 們 的 仇 敵 , 要 愛 他 ! 恨 你 們 的 , 要 待 他 好 !
28 咒 詛 你 們 的 , 要 為 他 祝 福 ! 凌 辱 你 們 的 , 要 為 他 禱 告 !
29 有 人 打 你 這 邊 的 臉 , 連 那 邊 的 臉 也 由 他 打 。 有 人 奪 你 的 外 衣 , 連 裡 衣 也 由 他 拿 去 。
30 凡 求 你 的 , 就 給 他 。 有 人 奪 你 的 東 西 去 , 不 用 再 要 回 來 。
31 你 們 願 意 人 怎 樣 待 你 們 , 你 們 也 要 怎 樣 待 人 。
32 你 們 若 單 愛 那 愛 你 們 的 人 , 有 甚 麼 可 酬 謝 的 呢 ? 就 是 罪 人 也 愛 那 愛 他 們 的 人 。
33 你 們 若 善 待 那 善 待 你 們 的 人 , 有 甚 麼 可 酬 謝 的 呢 ? 就 是 罪 人 也 是 這 樣 行 。
34 你 們 若 借 給 人 , 指 望 從 他 收 回 , 有 甚 麼 可 酬 謝 的 呢 ? 就 是 罪 人 也 借 給 罪 人 , 要 如 數 收 回 。
35 你 們 倒 要 愛 仇 敵 , 也 要 善 待 他 們 , 並 要 借 給 人 不 指 望 償 還 , 你 們 的 賞 賜 就 必 大 了 , 你 們 也 必 作 至 高 者 的 兒 子 ; 因 為 他 恩 待 那 忘 恩 的 和 作 惡 的 。
36 你 們 要 慈 悲 , 像 你 們 的 父 慈 悲 一 樣 。
37 你 們 不 要 論 斷 人 , 就 不 被 論 斷 ; 你 們 不 要 定 人 的 罪 , 就 不 被 定 罪 ; 你 們 要 饒 恕 人 , 就 必 蒙 饒 恕 ( 饒 恕 : 原 文 作 釋 放 ) ;
38 你 們 要 給 人 , 就 必 有 給 你 們 的 , 並 且 用 十 足 的 升 斗 , 連 搖 帶 按 , 上 尖 下 流 的 倒 在 你 們 懷 裡 ; 因 為 你 們 用 甚 麼 量 器 量 給 人 , 也 必 用 甚 麼 量 器 量 給 你 們 。
39 耶 穌 又 用 比 喻 對 他 們 說 : 瞎 子 豈 能 領 瞎 子 , 兩 個 人 不 是 都 要 掉 在 坑 裡 麼 ?
40 學 生 不 能 高 過 先 生 ; 凡 學 成 了 的 不 過 和 先 生 一 樣 。
41 為 甚 麼 看 見 你 弟 兄 眼 中 有 刺 , 卻 不 想 自 己 眼 中 有 梁 木 呢 ?
42 你 不 見 自 己 眼 中 有 梁 木 , 怎 能 對 你 弟 兄 說 : 容 我 去 掉 你 眼 中 的 刺 呢 ? 你 這 假 冒 為 善 的 人 ! 先 去 掉 自 己 眼 中 的 梁 木 , 然 後 才 能 看 得 清 楚 , 去 掉 你 弟 兄 眼 中 的 刺 。
43 因 為 , 沒 有 好 樹 結 壞 果 子 , 也 沒 有 壞 樹 結 好 果 子 。
44 凡 樹 木 看 果 子 , 就 可 以 認 出 他 來 。 人 不 是 從 荊 棘 上 摘 無 花 果 , 也 不 是 從 蒺 藜 裡 摘 葡 萄 。
45 善 人 從 他 心 裡 所 存 的 善 就 發 出 善 來 ; 惡 人 從 他 心 裡 所 存 的 惡 就 發 出 惡 來 ; 因 為 心 裡 所 充 滿 的 , 口 裡 就 說 出 來 。
46 你 們 為 甚 麼 稱 呼 我 主 阿 , 主 阿 , 卻 不 遵 我 的 話 行 呢 ?
47 凡 到 我 這 裡 來 , 聽 見 我 的 話 就 去 行 的 , 我 要 告 訴 你 們 他 像 甚 麼 人 :
48 他 像 一 個 人 蓋 房 子 , 深 深 的 挖 地 , 把 根 基 安 在 磐 石 上 ; 到 發 大 水 的 時 候 , 水 沖 那 房 子 , 房 子 總 不 能 搖 動 , 因 為 根 基 立 在 磐 石 上 ( 有 古 卷 : 因 為 蓋 造 得 好 ) 。
49 惟 有 聽 見 不 去 行 的 , 就 像 一 個 人 在 土 地 上 蓋 房 子 , 沒 有 根 基 ; 水 一 沖 , 隨 即 倒 塌 了 , 並 且 那 房 子 壞 的 很 大 。
Luke 6
Contemporary English Version
A Question about the Sabbath
(Matthew 12.1-8; Mark 2.23-28)
6 (A) One Sabbath when Jesus and his disciples were walking through some wheat fields,[a] the disciples picked some wheat. They rubbed the husks off with their hands and started eating the grain.
2 Some Pharisees said, “Why are you picking grain on the Sabbath? You're not supposed to do that!”
3 (B) Jesus answered, “You surely have read what David did when he and his followers were hungry. 4 (C) He went into the house of God and took the sacred loaves of bread that only priests were supposed to eat. He not only ate some himself, but even gave some to his followers.”
5 Jesus finished by saying, “The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.”
A Man with a Paralyzed Hand
(Matthew 12.9-14; Mark 3.1-6)
6 On another Sabbath[b] Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, and a man with a paralyzed right hand was there. 7 Some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses kept watching Jesus to see if he would heal the man. They did this because they wanted to accuse Jesus of doing something wrong.
8 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he told the man to stand up where everyone could see him. And the man stood up. 9 Then Jesus asked, “On the Sabbath should we do good deeds or evil deeds? Should we save someone's life or destroy it?”
10 After he had looked around at everyone, he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his bad hand became completely well.
11 The teachers and the Pharisees were furious and started saying to one another, “What can we do about Jesus?”
Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles
(Matthew 10.1-4; Mark 3.13-19)
12 About that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night there. 13 The next morning he called his disciples together and chose twelve of them to be his apostles. 14 One was Simon, and Jesus named him Peter. Another was Andrew, Peter's brother. There were also James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus. The rest of the apostles were Simon, known as the Eager One,[c] 16 Jude, who was the son of James, and Judas Iscariot,[d] who later betrayed Jesus.
Jesus Teaches, Preaches, and Heals
(Matthew 4.23-25)
17 Jesus and his apostles went down from the mountain and came to some flat, level ground. Many other disciples were there to meet him. Large crowds of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal towns of Tyre and Sidon were there too. 18 These people had come to listen to Jesus and to be healed of their diseases. All who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed. 19 Everyone was trying to touch Jesus, because power was going out from him and healing them all.
Blessings and Troubles
(Matthew 5.1-12)
20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said:
God will bless you people
who are poor.
His kingdom belongs to you!
21 God will bless
you hungry people.
You will have plenty
to eat!
God will bless you people
who are now crying.
You will laugh!
22 (D) God will bless you when others hate you and won't have anything to do with you. God will bless you when people insult you and say cruel things about you, all because you are a follower of the Son of Man. 23 (E) Long ago your own people did these same things to the prophets. So when this happens to you, be happy and jump for joy! You will have a great reward in heaven.
24 But you rich people
are in for trouble.
You have already had
an easy life!
25 You well-fed people
are in for trouble.
You will go hungry!
You people
who are laughing now
are in for trouble.
You are going to cry
and weep!
26 You are in for trouble when everyone says good things about you. That is what your own people said about those prophets who told lies.
Love for Enemies
(Matthew 5.38-48; 7.12a)
27 This is what I say to all who will listen to me:
Love your enemies, and be good to everyone who hates you. 28 Ask God to bless anyone who curses you, and pray for everyone who is cruel to you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, don't stop that person from slapping you on the other cheek. If someone wants to take your coat, don't try to keep back your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who asks and don't ask people to return what they have taken from you. 31 (F) Treat others just as you want to be treated.
32 If you love only someone who loves you, will God praise you for that? Even sinners love people who love them. 33 If you are kind only to someone who is kind to you, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners are kind to people who are kind to them. 34 If you lend money only to someone you think will pay you back, will God be pleased with you for that? Even sinners lend to sinners because they think they will get it all back.
35 (G) But love your enemies and be good to them. Lend without expecting to be paid back.[e] Then you will get a great reward, and you will be the true children of God in heaven. He is good even to people who are unthankful and cruel. 36 Have pity on others, just as your Father has pity on you.
Judging Others
(Matthew 7.1-5)
37 Jesus said:
Don't judge others, and God won't judge you. Don't be hard on others, and God won't be hard on you. Forgive others, and God will forgive you. 38 If you give to others, you will be given a full amount in return. It will be packed down, shaken together, and spilling over into your lap. The way you treat others is the way you will be treated.
39 (H) Jesus also used some sayings as he spoke to the people. He said:
Can one blind person lead another blind person? Won't they both fall into a ditch? 40 (I) Are students better than their teacher? But when they are fully trained, they will be like their teacher.
41 You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. 42 How can you say, “My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when you don't see the log in your own eye? You show-offs! First, get the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
(Matthew 7.17-20; 12.34b,35)
43 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. 44 (J) You can tell what a tree is like by the fruit it produces. You cannot pick figs or grapes from thornbushes. 45 (K) Good people do good things because of the good in their hearts, but bad people do bad things because of the evil in their hearts. Your words show what is in your heart.
Two Builders
(Matthew 7.24-27)
46 Why do you keep on saying that I am your Lord, when you refuse to do what I say? 47 Anyone who comes and listens to me and obeys me 48 is like someone who dug down deep and built a house on solid rock. When a flood came and the river rushed against the house, it was built so well that it didn't even shake. 49 But anyone who hears what I say and doesn't obey me is like someone whose house wasn't built on solid rock. As soon as the river rushed against that house, it was smashed to pieces!
Footnotes
- 6.1 walking through some wheat fields: It was the custom to let hungry travelers pick grains of wheat.
- 6.6 On another Sabbath: Some manuscripts have a reading which may mean “the Sabbath after the next.”
- 6.15 known as the Eager One: The word “eager” translates the Greek word “zealot,” which was a name later given to the members of a Jewish group that resisted and fought against the Romans.
- 6.16 Iscariot: This may mean “a man from Kerioth” (a place in Judea). But more probably it means “a man who was a liar” or “a man who was a betrayer.”
- 6.35 without expecting to be paid back: Some manuscripts have “without giving up on anyone.”
Luke 6
New International Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
6 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.(B) 2 Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(C)
3 Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(D) 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat.(E) And he also gave some to his companions.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man(F) is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 On another Sabbath(G) he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(H) to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.(I) 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking(J) 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 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 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 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious(K) and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
The Twelve Apostles(L)
12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.(M) 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:(N) 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew,(O) Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Blessings and Woes(P)
17 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,(Q) 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch him,(R) because power was coming from him and healing them all.(S)
20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.(T)
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.(U)
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.(V)
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you(W) and insult you(X)
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.(Y)
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,(Z) because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.(AA)
24 “But woe to you who are rich,(AB)
for you have already received your comfort.(AC)
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.(AD)
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.(AE)
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.(AF)
Love for Enemies(AG)
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,(AH) 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.(AI) 29 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 everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.(AJ) 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.(AK)
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?(AL) Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?(AM) Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them,(AN) and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children(AO) of the Most High,(AP) because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful,(AQ) just as your Father(AR) is merciful.
Judging Others(AS)
37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(AT) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(AU) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.(AV) For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”(AW)
39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?(AX) 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.(AY)
41 “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 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.
A Tree and Its Fruit(AZ)
43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.(BA) People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 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.(BB)
The Wise and Foolish Builders(BC)
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’(BD) and do not do what I say?(BE) 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice,(BF) I will show you what they are like. 48 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 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.”
