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.”

Jezi se mèt jou repo a

(Mat 12:1-8; Mak 2:23-28)

Yon jou saba, Jezi t ap pase nan yon gwo jaden ble. Disip li yo keyi kèk grap ble, yo fwote ble a nan men yo, epi yo t ap manje grenn yo. Lè sa a, kèk nan Farizyen yo di konsa: “Pouki sa n ap fè sa lalwa pa pèmèt nan jou repo a?”

Jezi reponn yo, li di yo: “Èske nou pa li sa David te fè lè li menm ak mesye l yo te grangou? Li te antre nan tanp Bondye a, li pran pen yo te ofri bay Bondye yo, li manje epi li bay mesye ki te ak li yo tou, epi se prèt yo sèlman ki te gen dwa manje pen sa yo.” Apre sa li di yo: “Pitit Lòm nan se chèf jou repo a.”

Jezi geri yon nonm yon jou repo

(Mat 12:9-14; Mak 3:1-6)

Yon lòt jou saba, Jezi te antre nan sinagòg la, li t ap anseye pèp la. Vwala te gen yon nonm ki te la ki te andikape nan men dwat li. Skrib yo ansanm ak Farizyen yo t ap veye pou wè si Jezi t ap geri nonm nan pandan jou repo a, paske yo t ap chache jwenn yon koz pou yo akize l. Men, Jezi ki te konnen sa k t ap pase nan tèt yo, li di nonm ki te andikape a: “Leve kanpe nan mitan la a.” Nonm nan leve, li kanpe. Jezi di yo: “M ap poze nou yon kesyon. Ki sa lalwa pèmèt moun fè nan jou repo a, byen osinon mal, sove lavi osinon detwi lavi?”

10 Apre sa, Jezi pwonmennen je li gade yo tout, epi li di nonm nan: “Lonje men w.” Nonm nan lonje men l, epi men l geri. 11 Men Skrib ak Farizyen ki te la yo te fache anpil. Yo t ap diskite antre yo menm sou kisa pou yo ta fè ak Jezi.

Jezi chwazi douz apot li yo

(Mat 10:1-4; Mak 3:13-19)

12 Kèk jou apre, Jezi te ale sou yon ti mòn pou l priye. Li te pase tout nuit la nèt ap priye Bondye. 13 Lè l te fè jou, li rele disip li yo. Li chwazi douz nan pami yo li te rele apot tou.

14 Simon, Jezi te rele l Pyè tou;

Andre, frè Simon an,

Jak,

Jan,

Filip,

Batèlmi.

15 Matye,

Toma,

Jak, pitit Alfe a,

Simon, sa yo te rele zelòt la.

16 Jid, pitit Jak la,

Jida Iskaryòt (sa k te trayi Jezi a).

Jezi anseye pèp la epi li geri anpil moun

(Mat 4:23-25; 5:1-12)

17 Apre sa, Jezi ansanm ak douz apot yo desann mòn nan. Li kanpe sou yon platon. Anpil disip li yo te la ansanm ak anpil anpil lòt moun ki soti nan tout rejyon Jide a, nan Jerizalèm, ak nan rejyon bò lanmè Tir ak Sidon, 18 Yo te vin pou tande li epi pou yo te jwenn gerizon pou maladi yo. Sa yo ki te gen move denmon ap twouble yo te jwenn gerizon tou. 19 Tout moun t ap chache mwayen pou yo manyen Jezi, paske te gen yon puisans ki t ap soti nan li. Jezi te geri yo tout.

20 Apre sa, Jezi leve je l li gade disip li yo epi li di:

“Anpil benediksyon pou nou menm ki pòv,
    paske Wayòm Bondye a se pou nou li ye.
21 Anpil benediksyon pou nou menm ki grangou kounye a,
    paske vant nou pral plen.
Benediksyon pou nou menm k ap kriye kounye a,
    paske kè nou pral kontan.

22 Anpil benediksyon pou nou lè moun rayi nou, lè yo meprize nou, lè yo joure nou, lè yo twouve li pa bon pou yo ta menm site non nou, poutèt mwen menm, Pitit Lòm nan. 23 Se pou nou rejwi lè sa rive. Se pou nou danse menm tèlman nou kontan paske rekonpans nou gran nan syèl la. Zansèt moun sa yo te fè pwofèt yo menm bagay yo tou.

24 Men, malè pou nou, nou menm moun rich yo,
    paske nou gen tan jwenn lavi fasil nou isit.
25 Malè pou nou menm k ap manje byen kounye a,
    paske n ap gen pou n grangou.
Malè pou nou menm k ap ri kounye a,
    paske nou pral nan lapenn, nou pral kriye.

26 Malè pou ou lè tout moun di bon bagay de ou, paske zansèt moun sa yo te fè menm bagay la pou fo pwofèt yo.”

Renmen lènmi ou

(Mat 5:38-48; 7:12a)

27 “Men sa m ap di nou, nou menm k ap koute m: Renmen lènmi nou yo. Fè byen pou moun ki rayi nou. 28 Mande Bondye pou l beni moun ki mande pou move bagay rive nou. Priye pou moun ki maltrete nou. 29 Si yon moun frape w nan yon bò machwè w, vire lòt bò a ba li tou. Si yon moun pran vès w, kite l pran chemiz la tou. 30 Nenpòt moun ki mande w, ba li. Nenpòt moun ki pran afè w, pa mande l remèt ou yo. 31 Sa ou ta renmen lòt moun fè pou ou, fè menm bagay pou yo.

32 Si ou renmen moun ki renmen w sèlman, èske ou panse Bondye dwe rekonpanse w pou sa? Non, paske menm moun k ap viv nan peche yo renmen moun ki renmen yo. 33 Menm jan an tou, si ou fè byen pou moun ki fè byen pou ou, ki merit ou genyen pou sa? Menm moun k ap viv nan peche yo fè menm bagay la tou. 34 Si nou prete moun nou konnen ki ka renmèt nou, èske n panse Bondye ta dwe rekonpanse nou pou sa? Menm moun k ap viv nan peche yo prete moun k ap viv nan peche parèy yo pou yo renmèt yo menm kantite a.

35 Men, se pou nou renmen lènmi nou yo, epi fè byen pou yo. Prete moun san nou pa met espwa y ap renmèt nou sa nou prete yo a. Konsa, rekonpans nou va gran. N a pitit Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la. Paske li menm li bon anvè ni moun ki san rekonesans yo, ni mechan yo. 36 Se pou nou gen kè sansib, menm jan Bondye Papa nou gen kè sansib.

Piga youn kritike lòt

(Mat 7:1-5)

37 Pa jije moun si ou pa vle Bondye jije w tou. Pa kondane moun, kon sa Bondye p ap kondane w non plis. Padone moun, kon sa Bondye a padone w tou. 38 Se pou nou bay, kon sa Bondye ap ban nou tou. N a resevwa anpil. Dyakout nou ap tèlman byen ranpli, l ap fè tiyon, epi l ap ranvèse. Paske jan ou trete lòt moun se kon sa Bondye ap trete w tou.”

39 Apre sa, li rakonte yo yon parabòl. Èske yon avèg kapab mennen yon lòt avèg? Si yon moun avèg ap mennen yon lòt avèg, yo pa lwen tonbe nan yon menm twou. 40 Yon elèv pa pi fò pase mèt li. Men yon elèv ki fin resevwa tout fòmasyon li, l ap fò menm jan ak mèt li.

41 Pouki sa ou wè ti pay ki nan je frè w la, epi ou pa wè bout bwa ki nan pwòp je pa w la? 42 Ki jan ou fè ka di frè ou: “Frè m, kite m retire ti pay ki nan je w la.” Alòske ou pa wè bout bwa ki nan je pa w la? Ipokrit. Se bout bwa ki nan je w la pou ou retire anvan. Apre sa ou ap wè klè pou retire ti pay ki nan je frè w la.

Aksyon w montre kilès ou ye

(Mat 7:17-20; 12:34b-35)

43 Yon bon pyebwa pa janm donnen move fwi, ni yon move pyebwa pa donnen bon fwi. 44 Yo rekonèt kalite yon pyebwa pa mwayen fwi li donnen. Paske yo pa janm keyi fig sou pye pikan. Ni yo pa janm ranmase keyi rezen sou touf pikan. 45 Bon moun gen bon bagay sere nan kè yo. Se sa k fè yo di bon bagay. Men moun ki mechan, se mechanste ki ranpli kè yo. Se sa k fè se move bagay yo di. Sa yon moun di ak bouch li se nan kè l li soti.

De kalite moun

(Mat 7:24-27)

46 Pou kisa n ap rele m Senyè, Senyè tandiske nou pa fè sa mwen di? 47 Moun ki vin jwenn mwen, ki tande pawòl mwen epi ki mete l an pratik, mwen pral montre nou ak kilès yo sanble. 48 Yo tankou yon moun k ap bati yon kay. Li fouye byen fon epi li chouke fondasyon kay la sou wòch. Lapli tonbe anpil epi gwo dlo frape kay la pou ta pote l ale. Men kay la pa brannen, paske li te byen bati.

49 Men moun ki tande pawòl la ki pa mete l an pratik, li tankou yon moun ki bati yon kay atè san fondasyon pou kenbe l. Lè gwo dlo frape kay la, lapoula kay la tonbe, li kraze nèt.

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.”
