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.”

Jesus är sabbatens Herre

(A) En sabbat hände det att Jesus gick genom några sädesfält, och hans lärjungar ryckte av ax[a] som de gnuggade i händerna och åt. (B) Men några av fariseerna sade: "Varför gör ni sådant som inte är tillåtet på sabbaten?" (C) Jesus svarade dem: "Har ni inte läst vad David gjorde[b] när han och hans män var hungriga? (D) Han gick in i Guds hus och tog skådebröden[c] och åt och gav till dem som var med honom. De bröden fick bara prästerna äta." Sedan sade han: "Människosonen är sabbatens Herre."

(E) En annan sabbat gick han in i synagogan och undervisade. Där fanns en man vars högra hand var förtvinad. (F) De skriftlärda och fariseerna vaktade noga på Jesus för att se om han skulle bota på sabbaten, för de ville få något att anklaga honom för.

Men han visste vad de tänkte och sade till mannen med den förtvinade handen: "Stå upp och ställ dig i mitten." Då reste han sig och gick fram. Jesus sade till dem: "Jag frågar er: Är det tillåtet att göra gott på sabbaten eller att[d] göra ont? Att rädda liv eller att döda?" 10 Han såg sig omkring på dem alla och sade till mannen: "Räck fram din hand." Mannen gjorde så, och hans hand var nu återställd.

11 Men de fylldes av vrede[e] och började diskutera med varandra vad de skulle göra med Jesus.

Jesus utser tolv apostlar

12 Vid den tiden gick Jesus upp på berget för att be, och han var hela natten i bön till Gud. 13 (G) När det blev dag, kallade han till sig sina lärjungar och valde ut tolv av dem, som han kallade apostlar: 14 Simon, som han också gav namnet Petrus, hans bror Andreas, Jakob och Johannes, Filippus och Bartolomeus, 15 Matteus och Tomas, Jakob, Alfeus son, och Simon som kallades seloten, 16 (H) Judas, Jakobs son[f], och Judas Iskariot[g], han som blev förrädare.

JESU SLÄTTPREDIKAN (Kap 6:17-49)

Folkskaror samlas på slätten

17 (I) Jesus gick ner tillsammans med dem och stannade på en slätt[h]. Där var en stor skara av hans lärjungar och mycket folk från hela Judeen och Jerusalem och från kusten vid Tyrus och Sidon. 18 De hade kommit för att höra honom och bli botade från sina sjukdomar. Även de som plågades av orena andar blev botade. 19 (J) Och allt folket försökte röra vid honom, eftersom kraft gick ut från honom och botade alla.

Saligprisningar

20 (K) Jesus lyfte blicken, såg på sina lärjungar och sade:

"Saliga är ni som är fattiga,
        för Guds rike tillhör er.
21     (L) Saliga är ni som hungrar nu,
        för ni ska bli mättade.
    Saliga är ni som gråter nu,
        för ni ska få skratta.

22 (M) Saliga är ni när människorna hatar er och när de utesluter er och hånar och smutskastar ert namn för Människosonens skull. 23 (N) Gläd er på den dagen och hoppa av glädje, för er lön blir stor i himlen. På samma sätt gjorde deras fäder med profeterna.

Verop

24 (O) Men ve er som är rika!
        Ni har fått ut er tröst.
25     (P) Ve er som är mätta nu!
        Ni kommer att hungra.
    Ve er som skrattar nu!
        Ni kommer att sörja och gråta.

26 (Q) Ve er när alla människor talar väl om er! För på samma sätt gjorde deras fäder med de falska profeterna.

Älska era fiender

27 (R) Men till er som lyssnar säger jag: Älska era fiender och gör gott mot dem som hatar er. 28 (S) Välsigna dem som förbannar er och be för dem som förolämpar er. 29 (T) Om någon slår dig på ena kinden, vänd då också andra kinden till. Och om någon tar ifrån dig manteln[i], så låt honom ta tunikan[j] också. 30 (U) Ge åt alla som ber dig, och om någon tar det som är ditt, så kräv det inte tillbaka.

31 (V) Så som ni vill att människorna ska göra mot er, så ska ni göra mot dem. 32 (W) Om ni älskar dem som älskar er, ska ni ha tack för det? Även syndare älskar dem som visar dem kärlek. 33 Och om ni gör gott mot dem som gör gott mot er, ska ni ha tack för det? Även syndare gör samma sak. 34 Och om ni lånar ut till dem som ni hoppas ska ge tillbaka, ska ni ha tack för det? Även syndare lånar ut till syndare för att få lika tillbaka.

35 Nej, älska era fiender och gör gott och låna ut utan att hoppas få något igen. Då ska er lön bli stor, och ni ska bli den Högstes barn, för han är god mot de otacksamma och onda. 36 Var barmhärtiga, så som er Far är barmhärtig.

Flisan och bjälken

37 (X) Döm inte, så blir ni inte dömda. Fördöm inte, så blir ni inte fördömda. Förlåt, så blir ni förlåtna. 38 (Y) Ge, så ska ni få. Ett gott mått, packat, skakat och rågat, ska ni få i er famn. Med det mått som ni mäter med ska det mätas upp åt er."

39 (Z) Han gav dem också en liknelse: "En blind kan väl inte leda en blind? Faller inte båda i gropen? 40 (AA) En lärjunge står inte över sin lärare. Men när han är fullärd blir han som sin lärare.

41 (AB) Varför ser du flisan i din broders öga, men märker inte bjälken i ditt eget öga? 42 Hur kan du säga till din broder: Broder, låt mig ta bort flisan ur ditt öga, när du inte ser bjälken i ditt eget öga? Hycklare[k], ta först bort bjälken ur ditt eget öga. Då ser du klart nog att ta bort flisan ur din broders öga.

Av frukten känner man trädet

43 (AC) Inget gott träd ger dålig frukt, och inget dåligt träd ger god frukt. 44 (AD) Varje träd känns igen på sin frukt. Man plockar väl inte fikon från tistlar eller vindruvor från törnbuskar? 45 En god människa bär fram det som är gott ur sitt hjärtas goda förråd, och en ond människa bär fram det som är ont ur sitt hjärtas onda förråd. Vad hjärtat är fullt av, det talar munnen.

Liknelsen om de två husbyggarna

46 (AE) Varför kallar ni mig ’Herre, Herre’ när ni inte gör vad jag säger? 47 (AF) Den som kommer till mig och hör mina ord och handlar efter dem – jag ska visa er vem han liknar. 48 Han liknar en man som byggde ett hus och grävde djupt och lade grunden på klippan. När översvämningen kom vräkte sig floden mot huset, men den kunde inte rubba det eftersom det var välbyggt.

49 Men den som hör och inte handlar liknar en man som byggde ett hus på marken, utan grund. Floden vräkte sig mot huset och det rasade genast, och förödelsen blev stor för det huset."

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.”
