Luke 6
King James Version
6 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
14 Simon, (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 Zelotes,
16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be 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 shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Luke 6
New King James Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
6 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. 2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing (C)what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
3 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: 4 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?” 5 And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
Healing on the Sabbath(F)
6 (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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.”

Lucas 6
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
6 Nangyari nga nang dumaraan siya sa mga trigohan nang isang sabbath, ay kumitil ng mga uhay ang mga alagad niya, at kinakain pagkaligis sa kanilang mga kamay.
2 Datapuwa't sinabi ng ilan sa mga Fariseo, Bakit ginagawa ninyo ang di matuwid gawin sa araw ng sabbath?
3 At pagsagot sa kanila ni Jesus ay sinabi, Hindi baga nabasa ninyo ang ginawa ni David, nang siya'y magutom, siya, at ang mga kasamahan niya;
4 Kung paanong siya'y pumasok sa bahay ng Dios, at kumain ng mga tinapay na handog, at binigyan pati ang kaniyang mga kasamahan; na hindi naaayon sa kautusan na kanin ninoman kundi ng mga saserdote lamang?
5 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ang Anak ng tao ay panginoon ng sabbath.
6 At nangyari nang ibang sabbath, na siya'y pumasok sa sinagoga at nagturo: at doo'y may isang lalake, at tuyo ang kaniyang kanang kamay.
7 At inaabangan siya ng mga eskriba at ng mga Fariseo, kung siya'y magpapagaling sa sabbath; upang makasumpong sila ng paraan na siya'y maisakdal.
8 Datapuwa't nalalaman niya ang kanilang mga kaisipan; at sinabi niya sa lalake na tuyo ang kamay, Magtindig ka at tumayo ka sa gitna. At siya'y nagtindig at tumayo.
9 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Itinatanong ko sa inyo, Matuwid bagang gumawa ng magaling, o gumawa ng masama kung sabbath? magligtas ng isang buhay o pumuksa?
10 At minamasdan niya silang lahat sa palibotlibot, at sinabi sa kaniya, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay. At ginawa niyang gayon; at gumaling ang kaniyang kamay.
11 Datapuwa't sila'y nangapuno ng galit; at nangagsangusapan, kung ano ang kanilang magagawang laban kay Jesus.
12 At nangyari nang mga araw na ito, na siya'y napasa bundok upang manalangin; at sa buong magdamag ay nanatili siya sa pananalangin sa Dios.
13 At nang araw na, ay tinawag niya ang kaniyang mga alagad; at siya'y humirang ng labingdalawa sa kanila, na tinawag naman niyang mga apostol:
14 Si Simon, na tinawag naman niyang Pedro, at si Andres na kaniyang kapatid, at si Santiago at si Juan, at si Felipe at si Bartolome.
15 At si Mateo at si Tomas, at si Santiago anak ni Alfeo, at si Simon, na tinatawag na Masikap,
16 At si Judas na anak ni Santiago, at si Judas Iscariote na naging lilo;
17 At bumaba siya na kasama nila, at tumigil sa isang patag na dako, at ang lubhang marami sa mga alagad niya, at ang lubhang malaking bilang ng mga tao mula sa buong Judea at sa Jerusalem, at sa pangpangin ng dagat ng Tiro at Sidon, na nangagsidalo upang magsipakinig sa kaniya, at upang pagalingin sa kanilang mga sakit;
18 Ang mga pinahihirapan ng mga espiritung karumaldumal ay pinagagaling.
19 At pinagpipilitan ng buong karamihan na siya'y mahipo; sapagka't lumalabas sa kaniya ang makapangyarihang bisa, at nagpapagaling sa lahat.
20 At itiningin niya ang kaniyang mga mata sa kaniyang mga alagad, at sinabi, Mapapalad kayong mga dukha: sapagka't inyo ang kaharian ng Dios.
21 Mapapalad kayong nangagugutom ngayon: sapagka't kayo'y bubusugin. Mapapalad kayong nagsisitangis ngayon: sapagka't kayo'y magsisitawa.
22 Mapapalad kayo kung kayo'y kapootan ng mga tao, at kung kayo'y ihiwalay nila, at kayo'y alimurahin, at itakuwil ang inyong pangalan na tila masasama, dahil sa Anak ng tao.
23 Mangagalak kayo sa araw na yaon, at magsilukso kayo sa kagalakan; sapagka't narito, ang ganti sa inyo'y malaki sa langit; sapagka't sa gayon ding paraan ang ginawa ng kanilang mga magulang sa mga propeta.
24 Datapuwa't sa aba ninyong mayayaman! sapagka't tinanggap na ninyo ang inyong kaaliwan.
25 Sa aba ninyo mga busog ngayon! sapagka't kayo'y mangagugutom. Sa aba ninyong nagsisitawa ngayon! sapagka't kayo'y magsisitaghoy at magsisitangis.
26 Sa aba ninyo, pagka ang lahat ng mga tao ay mangagsalita ng magaling tungkol sa inyo! sapagka't sa gayon ding paraan ang ginawa ng kanilang mga magulang sa mga bulaang propeta.
27 Datapuwa't sinasabi ko sa inyong nangakikinig, Ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway, gawan ninyo ng mabuti ang nangapopoot sa inyo,
28 Pagpalain ninyo ang sa inyo'y sumusumpa at ipanalangin ninyo ang sa inyo'y lumalait.
29 Sa sumampal sa iyo sa isang pisngi, iharap mo naman ang kabila; at ang sa iyo'y magalis ng iyong balabal, huwag mong itanggi pati ng iyong tunika.
30 Bigyan mo ang bawa't sa iyo'y humihingi; at sa kumuha ng pag-aari mo, ay huwag mong hinging muli.
31 At kung ano ang ibig ninyong sa inyo'y gawin ng mga tao, gayon din ang gawin ninyo sa kanila.
32 At kung kayo'y magsiibig sa mga nagsisiibig sa inyo, anong pasasalamat ang inyong kakamtin? sapagka't ang mga makasalanan man ay nagsisiibig sa nagsisiibig sa kanila.
33 At kung magsigawa kayo ng mabuti sa nagsisigawa sa inyo ng mabuti, anong pasasalamat ang inyong kakamtin? sapagka't ganito rin ang ginagawa ng mga makasalanan.
34 At kung kayo'y mangagpahiram doon sa mga inaasahan ninyong may tatanggapin, anong pasasalamat ang inyong kakamtin? ang mga makasalanan man ay nangagpapahiram sa mga makasalanan, upang muling magsitanggap ng gayon din.
35 Datapuwa't ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway at gawan ninyo sila ng mabuti, at mangagpahiram kayo, na kailan man ay huwag mawawalan ng pagasa; at malaki ang sa inyo'y magiging ganti, at kayo'y magiging mga anak ng Kataastaasan: sapagka't siya'y magandang-loob sa mga walang turing at sa masasama.
36 Magmaawain kayo, gaya naman ng inyong Ama na maawain.
37 At huwag kayong mangagsihatol, at hindi kayo hahatulan: at huwag kayong mangagparusa, at hindi kayo parurusahan: mangagpalaya kayo, at kayo'y palalayain:
38 Mangagbigay kayo, at kayo'y bibigyan; takal na mabuti, pikpik, liglig, at umaapaw, ay ibibigay nila sa inyong kandungan. Sapagka't sa panukat na inyong isukat ay doon kayo muling susukatin.
39 At sinabi naman niya sa kanila ang isang talinghaga: Mangyayari bagang umakay ang bulag sa bulag? di baga sila mangabubulid kapuwa sa hukay?
40 Hindi higit ang alagad sa kaniyang guro: datapuwa't ang bawa't isa, pagka naging sakdal, ay nagiging katulad ng kaniyang guro.
41 At bakit mo tinitingnan ang puwing na nasa mata ng iyong kapatid, datapuwa't hindi mo pinupuna ang tahilan na nasa iyong sariling mata?
42 O paanong masasabi mo sa iyong kapatid, Kapatid, pabayaan mong alisin ko ang puwing na nasa iyong mata, kundi mo nakikita ang tahilan na nasa iyong sariling mata? Ikaw na mapagpaimbabaw, alisin mo muna ang tahilan na nasa iyong sariling mata, kung magkagayo'y makikita mong malinaw ang pagaalis ng puwing na nasa mata ng iyong kapatid.
43 Sapagka't walang mabuting punong kahoy na nagbubunga ng masama; at wala rin naman masamang punong kahoy na nagbubunga ng mabuti.
44 Sapagka't bawa't punong kahoy ay nakikilala sa kaniyang sariling bunga. Sapagka't ang mga tao ay di nangakapuputi ng mga igos sa mga dawag, at di nangakapuputi ng ubas sa mga tinikan.
45 Ang mabuting tao ay kumukuha ng kagalingan sa mabubuting kayamanan ng kaniyang puso; at ang masamang tao'y kumukuha ng kasamaan sa masamang kayamanan: sapagka't sa kasaganaan ng puso ay nagsasalita ang kaniyang bibig.
46 At bakit tinatawag ninyo ako, Panginoon, Panginoon, at di ninyo ginagawa ang mga bagay na aking sinasabi?
47 Ang bawa't lumalapit sa akin, at pinakikinggan ang aking mga salita, at ginagawa, ituturo ko sa inyo kung sino ang katulad:
48 Siya'y tulad sa isang taong nagtatayo ng bahay, na humukay at pinakalalim, at inilagay ang patibayan sa bato: at nang dumating ang isang baha, ay hinampas ng agos ang bahay na yaon, at hindi nakilos; sapagka't natitirik na mabuti.
49 Datapuwa't ang dumirinig, at hindi ginagawa, ay tulad sa isang tao na nagtayo ng bahay sa lupa, na walang patibayan; laban sa yaon ay hinampas ng agos, at pagdaka'y nagiba; at malaki ang naging kasiraan ng bahay na yaon.
Lucas 6
Dios Habla Hoy
Los discípulos arrancan espigas en sábado(A)
6 Un sábado, Jesús caminaba entre los sembrados. Sus discípulos arrancaban espigas de trigo, las desgranaban entre las manos y se comían los granos. 2 Entonces algunos fariseos les preguntaron:
—¿Por qué hacen ustedes algo que no está permitido hacer en sábado?
3 Jesús les contestó:
—¿No han leído ustedes lo que hizo David en una ocasión en que él y sus compañeros tuvieron hambre? 4 Entró en la casa de Dios y tomó los panes consagrados a Dios, comió de ellos y dio también a sus compañeros, a pesar de que solamente a los sacerdotes se les permitía comer de ese pan.
5 Y añadió:
—El Hijo del hombre tiene autoridad sobre el sábado.
Jesús sana a un enfermo en sábado(B)
6 Otro sábado, Jesús entró en la sinagoga y comenzó a enseñar. Había en ella un hombre que tenía la mano derecha tullida; 7 y los maestros de la ley y los fariseos espiaban a Jesús para ver si lo sanaría en sábado, y así tener algún pretexto para acusarlo. 8 Pero él, que sabía lo que estaban pensando, le dijo al hombre que tenía la mano tullida:
—Levántate y ponte ahí en medio.
El hombre se levantó y se puso de pie, 9 y Jesús dijo a los otros:
—Les voy a hacer una pregunta: ¿Qué está permitido hacer en sábado: el bien o el mal? ¿Salvar una vida o destruirla?
10 Luego miró a todos los que lo rodeaban, y le dijo a aquel hombre:
—Extiende la mano.
El hombre lo hizo así, y su mano quedó sana. 11 Pero los otros se enojaron mucho y comenzaron a discutir qué podrían hacer contra Jesús.
Jesús escoge a los doce apóstoles(C)
12 Por aquellos días, Jesús se fue a un cerro a orar, y pasó toda la noche orando a Dios. 13 Cuando se hizo de día, llamó a sus discípulos, y escogió a doce de ellos, a quienes llamó apóstoles. 14 Éstos fueron: Simón, a quien puso también el nombre de Pedro; Andrés, hermano de Simón; Santiago, Juan, Felipe, Bartolomé, 15 Mateo, Tomás, Santiago, hijo de Alfeo; Simón, al que llamaban el celote, 16 Judas, hijo de Santiago, y Judas Iscariote, que fue quien traicionó a Jesús.
Jesús enseña a mucha gente(D)
17 Jesús bajó del cerro con ellos y se detuvo en un llano. Se habían juntado allí muchos de sus seguidores y mucha gente de toda la región de Judea, de Jerusalén y de la costa de Tiro y Sidón. 18 Habían llegado para oír a Jesús y para que los curara de sus enfermedades. Los que sufrían a causa de espíritus impuros, también quedaban sanos. 19 Así que toda la gente quería tocar a Jesús, porque los sanaba a todos con el poder que de él salía.
Lo que realmente cuenta ante Dios(E)
20 Jesús miró a sus discípulos, y les dijo:
«Dichosos ustedes los pobres, pues de ustedes es el reino de Dios.
21 »Dichosos ustedes los que ahora tienen hambre, pues quedarán satisfechos.
»Dichosos ustedes los que ahora lloran, pues después reirán.
22 »Dichosos ustedes cuando la gente los odie, cuando los expulsen, cuando los insulten y cuando desprecien su nombre como cosa mala, por causa del Hijo del hombre. 23 Alégrense mucho, llénense de gozo en ese día, porque ustedes recibirán un gran premio en el cielo; pues también así maltrataron los antepasados de esa gente a los profetas.
24 »Pero ¡ay de ustedes los ricos, pues ya han tenido su alegría!
25 »¡Ay de ustedes los que ahora están satisfechos, pues tendrán hambre!
»¡Ay de ustedes los que ahora ríen, pues van a llorar de tristeza!
26 »¡Ay de ustedes cuando todo el mundo los alabe, pues así hacían los antepasados de esa gente con los falsos profetas!
El amor a los enemigos(F)
27 »Pero a ustedes que me escuchan les digo: Amen a sus enemigos, hagan bien a quienes los odian, 28 bendigan a quienes los maldicen, oren por quienes los insultan. 29 Si alguien te pega en una mejilla, ofrécele también la otra; y si alguien te quita la capa, déjale que se lleve también tu camisa. 30 A cualquiera que te pida algo, dáselo, y al que te quite lo que es tuyo, no se lo reclames. 31 Hagan ustedes con los demás como quieren que los demás hagan con ustedes.
32 »Si ustedes aman solamente a quienes los aman a ustedes, ¿qué hacen de extraordinario? Hasta los pecadores se portan así. 33 Y si hacen bien solamente a quienes les hacen bien a ustedes, ¿qué tiene eso de extraordinario? También los pecadores se portan así. 34 Y si dan prestado sólo a aquellos de quienes piensan recibir algo, ¿qué hacen de extraordinario? También los pecadores se prestan unos a otros, esperando recibir unos de otros. 35 Ustedes deben amar a sus enemigos, y hacer bien, y dar prestado sin esperar nada a cambio. Así será grande su recompensa, y ustedes serán hijos del Dios altísimo, que es también bondadoso con los desagradecidos y los malos. 36 Sean ustedes compasivos, como también su Padre es compasivo.
No juzgar a otros(G)
37 »No juzguen a otros, y Dios no los juzgará a ustedes. No condenen a otros, y Dios no los condenará a ustedes. Perdonen, y Dios los perdonará. 38 Den a otros, y Dios les dará a ustedes. Les dará en su bolsa una medida buena, apretada, sacudida y repleta. Con la misma medida con que ustedes den a otros, Dios les devolverá a ustedes.»
39 Jesús les puso esta comparación: «¿Acaso puede un ciego servir de guía a otro ciego? ¿No caerán los dos en algún hoyo? 40 Ningún discípulo es más que su maestro: cuando termine sus estudios llegará a ser como su maestro.
41 »¿Por qué te pones a mirar la astilla que tiene tu hermano en el ojo, y no te fijas en el tronco que tienes en el tuyo? 42 Y si no te das cuenta del tronco que tienes en tu propio ojo, ¿cómo te atreves a decir a tu hermano: “Hermano, déjame sacarte la astilla que tienes en el ojo”? ¡Hipócrita!, saca primero el tronco de tu propio ojo, y así podrás ver bien para sacar la astilla que tiene tu hermano en el suyo.
El árbol se conoce por su fruto(H)
43 »No hay árbol bueno que pueda dar fruto malo, ni árbol malo que pueda dar fruto bueno. 44 Cada árbol se conoce por su fruto: no se cosechan higos de los espinos, ni se recogen uvas de las zarzas. 45 El hombre bueno dice cosas buenas porque el bien está en su corazón, y el hombre malo dice cosas malas porque el mal está en su corazón. Pues de lo que abunda en su corazón habla su boca.
La casa bien o mal fundada(I)
46 »¿Por qué me llaman ustedes, “Señor, Señor”, y no hacen lo que les digo? 47 Voy a decirles a quién se parece el que viene a mí y me oye y hace lo que digo: 48 se parece a un hombre que para construir una casa cavó primero bien hondo, y puso la base sobre la roca. Cuando creció el río, el agua dio con fuerza contra la casa, pero ni moverla pudo, porque estaba bien construida. 49 Pero el que me oye y no hace lo que digo, se parece a un hombre que construyó su casa sobre la tierra y sin cimientos; y cuando el río creció y dio con fuerza contra ella, se derrumbó y quedó completamente destruida.»
