Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)

Now (B)it happened [a]on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands. And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing (C)what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”

But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, (D)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, (E)which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?” And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”

Healing on the Sabbath(F)

(G)Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would (H)heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an (I)accusation against Him. But He (J)knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: (K)Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or [b]to destroy?” 10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to [c]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored [d]as whole as the other. 11 But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles(L)

12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in (M)prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; (N)and from them He chose (O)twelve whom He also named apostles: 14 Simon, (P)whom 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 the Zealot; 16 Judas (Q)the son of James, and (R)Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

Jesus Heals a Great Multitude(S)

17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples (T)and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude (U)sought to (V)touch Him, for (W)power went out from Him and healed them all.

The Beatitudes(X)

20 Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said:

(Y)“Blessed are you poor,
For yours is the kingdom of God.
21 (Z)Blessed are you who hunger now,
For you shall be (AA)filled.[e]
(AB)Blessed are you who weep now,
For you shall (AC)laugh.
22 (AD)Blessed are you when men hate you,
And when they (AE)exclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake.
23 (AF)Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For (AG)in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

Jesus Pronounces Woes

24 “But(AH) woe to you (AI)who are rich,
For (AJ)you have received your consolation.
25 (AK)Woe to you who are full,
For you shall hunger.
(AL)Woe to you who laugh now,
For you shall mourn and (AM)weep.
26 (AN)Woe [f]to you when [g]all men speak well of you,
For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Love Your Enemies(AO)

27 (AP)“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 (AQ)bless those who curse you, and (AR)pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 (AS)To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. (AT)And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 (AU)Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 (AV)And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32 (AW)“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 (AX)And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But (AY)love your enemies, (AZ)do good, and (BA)lend, [h]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and (BB)you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 (BC)Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Do Not Judge(BD)

37 (BE)“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. (BF)Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 (BG)Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your (BH)bosom. For (BI)with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39 And He spoke a parable to them: (BJ)“Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? 40 (BK)A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. 41 (BL)And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? 42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit(BM)

43 (BN)“For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 For (BO)every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 (BP)A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil [i]treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out (BQ)of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Build on the Rock(BR)

46 (BS)“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 (BT)Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was [j]founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it [k]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

Иисус—Господин субботы

(Мф. 12:1-8; Мк. 2:23-28)

Однажды в субботу, когда Иисус проходил через пшеничные поля, Его ученики срывали колосья и, растирая их в ладонях, ели. Некоторые из фарисеев спросили их: «Почему вы делаете то, что Закон Моисея запрещает делать в субботу?»

Иисус ответил им: «Разве вы не читали, как поступил Давид и те, кто были с ним, когда почувствовали голод? Он пришёл в дом Божий и, взяв хлебы, принесённые в дар Богу, съел сам и дал тем, кто был с ним, хотя Закон Моисея разрешает это только священникам». И сказал им Иисус: «Сын Человеческий—Господин субботы».

Исцеление сухорукого в субботу

(Мф. 12:9-14; Мк. 3:1-6)

В другую субботу Иисус пошёл в синагогу и учил там. И был там человек с иссохшей правой рукой. Законоучители и фарисеи следили за Иисусом, не исцелит ли Он кого в субботу, чтобы у них была причина Его обвинить. Зная их мысли, Иисус сказал сухорукому: «Поднимись и встань перед всеми». Тот поднялся и встал перед ними. Иисус сказал им: «Я спрашиваю вас, правильно ли делать добро или причинять зло в субботу? Правильно ли спасти жизнь или погубить её?» 10 И, посмотрев на всех вокруг, сказал сухорукому: «Протяни руку». Тот протянул руку, и она стала здоровой. 11 Тогда фарисеи и законники преисполнились гневом и начали обсуждать между собой, что бы им сделать с Иисусом.

Избрание двенадцати апостолов

(Мф. 10:1-4; Мк. 3:13-19)

12 В один из тех дней Иисус взошёл на гору, чтобы помолиться, и провёл ночь в молитве к Богу. 13 Когда настал день, Он позвал к Себе Своих учеников и выбрал двенадцать из них, которых и назвал апостолами:

14 Симона, которого Он назвал Петром,

его брата Андрея,

Иакова,

Иоанна,

Филиппа,

Варфоломея,

15 Матфея,

Фому,

Иакова, сына Алфея,

и Симона, прозванного Зилотом,

16 Иуду, сына Иакова,

и Иуду Искариота, который потом предал Его.

Иисус учит и исцеляет людей

(Мф. 4:23-25; 5:1-12)

17 Иисус вместе с апостолами спустился с горы и остановился на равнине. Там было много Его учеников и множество народа со всей Иудеи, Иерусалима и приморских городов Тир и Сидон. 18 Все они пришли послушать Иисуса и исцелиться от болезней. Иисус исцелил людей, которых мучили нечистые духи. 19 Каждый старался дотронуться до Иисуса, потому что от Него исходила сила и исцеляла всех.

20 Обратив взор на Своих учеников, Иисус сказал:

«Блаженны нищие,
    потому что вам принадлежит Царство Божье.
21 Блаженны голодные ныне,
    потому что будете сыты.
Блаженны плачущие ныне,
    потому что будете смеяться.

22 Блаженны вы, когда вас ненавидят, когда вас изгоняют, оскорбляют, когда поносят ваше имя и отвергают вас за Сына Человеческого. 23 В тот день радуйтесь и веселитесь, потому что вас ждёт великая награда на небе, ведь их отцы поступали с пророками так же, как сейчас эти люди поступают с вами.

24 Но горе вам, богатые,
    потому что вы уже получили утешение.
25 Горе вам, кто насытился сейчас,
    потому что голодны будете.
Горе вам, смеющиеся сейчас,
    потому что будете плакать и рыдать.

26 Горе вам, когда все люди говорят о вас хорошо, потому что так с лжепророками поступали их отцы».

Любите врагов своих

(Мф. 5:38-48; 7:12а)

27 «Но говорю вам, слушающим Меня: любите своих врагов, делайте добро ненавидящим вас, 28 благословляйте проклинающих вас, молитесь за обижающих вас. 29 Ударившему тебя по одной щеке, подставь и другую. 30 Подавай каждому, кто просит у тебя, и у того, кто взял твоё, не требуй ничего обратно. 31 Поступайте с другими так, как хотели бы, чтобы они поступали с вами. 32 И если любите только тех, кто любит вас, то разве вы заслуживаете за это благодарность? Ведь и грешники любят любящих их. 33 И если вы делаете добро только тем, кто вам делает добро, то разве заслуживаете вы за это благодарность? Ведь и грешники поступают так же. 34 И если даёте взаймы тем, от кого рассчитываете получить обратно, заслуживаете ли вы за это благодарность? Ведь и грешники дают взаймы грешникам, чтобы получить обратно столько же. 35 Вы же, любите своих врагов, делайте им добро, давайте взаймы, не рассчитывая на возврат, и будет вам награда великая, и будете вы сынами Всевышнего, потому что милостив Он даже к неблагодарным и злым. 36 Будьте милосердны, как милосерден ваш Отец».

Не судите других

(Мф. 7:1-5)

37 «Не судите, и не будете судимы, не осуждайте, и не будете осуждены, прощайте, и будете прощены, 38 давайте, и вам будет дано полной мерой, так что даже будет пересыпаться через край. Потому что какой мерой отмерите, такой же отмерится и вам».

39 Иисус также рассказал им притчу: «Может ли слепой вести слепого? Нет! Оба они упадут в яму. 40 Ученик не бывает выше своего учителя, но каждый, закончив учение, будет таким, как его учитель.

41 Почему ты видишь соринку в глазу брата твоего, но не замечаешь бревна в своём глазу? 42 Как ты смеешь сказать своему брату: „Брат, дай я выну соринку, которая в твоём глазу”, не видя у себя в глазу бревна. Лицемер, прежде всего, вынь бревно из своего глаза, и тогда увидишь, как вынуть соринку из глаза твоего брата».

Дерево узнаётся по плодам

(Мф. 7:17-20; 12:34б-35)

43 «Нет хорошего дерева, приносящего плохие плоды, и нет плохого дерева, приносящего хорошие плоды, 44 потому что каждое дерево познаётся по его плоду. Ведь не собирают фиг с колючек или винограда с тернового куста. 45 Добрый человек выдаёт доброе из запасённого в сердце добра, злой же человек выдаёт злое из запасённого в сердце зла. Потому что человек произносит то, что переполняет его сердце».

Благоразумный и безрассудный строитель

(Мф. 7:24-27)

46 «Почему вы зовёте Меня „Господи! Господи!”—но не исполняете того, что Я говорю? 47 Вот кому подобен каждый, кто приходит ко Мне, слушает и исполняет Мои слова: 48 он подобен человеку, который копает глубоко и строит дом на прочной скале. И если случится наводнение, хлынет вода на дом, стараясь смыть, она его не сдвинет, так как дом хорошо построен. 49 Но тот, кто слушает, но не исполняет того, что Я говорю, подобен человеку, не строящему дом на прочной скале. И если случится наводнение, то его дом падает и разваливается».

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)

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) Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(C)

Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(D) 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.” Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man(F) is Lord of the Sabbath.”

On another Sabbath(G) he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 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) 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.

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.”
