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.”

Lu-ca 6
New Vietnamese Bible
Hái Bông Lúa Mì(A)
6 Một ngày Sa-bát, Đức Giê-su đi qua cánh đồng lúa mì, các môn đệ Ngài bứt bông lúa, lấy tay vò đi và ăn. 2 Mấy người Pha-ri-si trách: “Tại sao các anh làm điều trái luật ngày Sa-bát?”
3 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Các ông chưa đọc chuyện vua Đa-vít đã làm khi vua và đoàn tùy tùng bị đói sao? 4 Vua vào nhà thờ Đức Chúa Trời ăn bánh bày trên bàn thờ và cho các người theo vua ăn nữa. Đó là bánh không ai được phép ăn ngoại trừ các thầy tế lễ; có phải vậy không?” 5 Ngài tiếp: “Con Người là Chúa ngày Sa-bát.”
Người Liệt Tay(B)
6 Một ngày Sa-bát khác, Đức Giê-su vào hội đường dạy dỗ. Tại đó, có một người liệt bàn tay phải. 7 Các giáo sư Kinh Luật và các người Pha-ri-si theo dõi xem thử Ngài có chữa bệnh trong ngày Sa-bát không, để tìm lý do tố cáo Ngài. 8 Nhưng Ngài biết mưu định của họ, nên bảo người liệt tay: “Hãy đứng dậy, đứng giữa đây!” Người đó đứng dậy.
9 Ngài bảo họ: “Ta hỏi các người một câu: Trong ngày Sa-bát nên làm việc nào cho đúng luật, làm điều thiện hay điều ác, cứu người hay giết người?”
10 Ngài nhìn quanh tất cả họ, rồi bảo người liệt tay: “Anh hãy duỗi bàn tay ra!” Người bệnh duỗi ra, thì tay được lành. 11 Các giáo sư Kinh Luật và người Pha-ri-si giận dữ, bàn luận với nhau xem họ phải làm gì với Đức Giê-su.
Chúa Chọn Mười Hai Sứ Đồ(C)
12 Trong những ngày đó, Đức Giê-su đi lên núi để cầu nguyện. Một hôm Ngài thức suốt đêm cầu nguyện với Đức Chúa Trời. 13 Đến sáng, Ngài gọi các môn đệ đến, chọn mười hai người và lập họ làm sứ đồ. 14 Si-môn, Ngài đặt tên là Phê-rơ; An-rê, em Si-môn; Gia-cơ; Giăng; Phi-líp; Ba-thê-lê-mi; 15 Ma-thi-ơ; Thô-ma; Gia-cơ, con A-phê; Si-môn, được gọi là Xê-lốt; 16 Giu-đa, con Gia-cơ và Giu-đa Ích-ca-ri-ốt, là kẻ phản bội sau này.
17 Ngài cùng họ[a] xuống núi, đứng tại một nơi bằng phẳng; có đám đông môn đệ[b] cùng rất đông dân chúng từ khắp các vùng Giu-đê, thành Giê-ru-sa-lem, vùng duyên hải Ty-rơ và Si-đôn 18 đến để nghe Ngài giảng dạy và để được chữa lành các bệnh tật. Những người bị tà linh[c] hành hạ cũng được chữa lành. 19 Cả đoàn dân đều tìm cách sờ vào Ngài, vì quyền năng từ Ngài phát ra và chữa lành mọi người.[d]
Phước Và Họa(D)
20 Ngài đưa mắt nhìn các môn đệ và phán dạy:
“Phước cho những người nghèo khổ,
Vì Nước Đức Chúa Trời thuộc về các con.
21 Phước cho những người hiện đang đói khát,
Vì các con sẽ được no đủ.
Phước cho những người hiện đang khóc lóc
Vì các con sẽ vui cười.
22 Phước cho các con khi vì Con Người
Mà bị người ta ghen ghét,
Loại trừ, lăng mạ, và xóa bỏ tên các con như phường gian ác.
23 Ngày ấy, các con hãy vui mừng nhảy múa, vì các con sẽ được trọng thưởng[e] trên trời; vì tổ phụ họ cũng đã bạc đãi các tiên tri của Chúa như thế.
24 Nhưng khốn cho các ngươi là kẻ giàu có,
Vì các ngươi được an ủi rồi.
25 Khốn cho các ngươi là kẻ hiện đang no nê,
Vì các ngươi sẽ đói.
Khốn cho các ngươi là những kẻ hiện đang vui cười,
Vì các ngươi sẽ khóc lóc than vãn.
26 Khốn cho các ngươi khi được mọi người ca tụng,
Vì tổ phụ họ cũng đã đối xử với các tiên tri giả như thế.
27 Nhưng ta bảo các con là những người đang lắng nghe: Hãy yêu thương kẻ thù mình, đối xử tử tế với những người ghét mình;
28 Chúc lành cho những kẻ chửi rủa mình, và cầu nguyện cho những người lăng mạ mình.
29 Ai tát con má bên này, hãy đưa luôn má kia cho họ.
Ai lấy áo ngoài của con, thì đừng ngăn họ lấy luôn áo trong.
30 Ai xin gì, hãy cho; ai lấy gì, cũng đừng đòi lại.
31 Các con muốn người ta làm cho mình thể nào, hãy làm cho người ta thể ấy.
32 Nếu các con yêu thương những kẻ yêu thương mình, thì có được ân huệ gì đâu! Chính các kẻ tội lỗi cũng yêu thương những người yêu thương họ. 33 Nếu các con làm ơn[f] cho những kẻ làm ơn cho mình, thì có ân huệ gì đâu! Chính kẻ tội lỗi cũng làm y như thế. 34 Nếu các con cho mượn mà trông mong thu[g] lại thì có ân huệ gì đâu! Những kẻ tội lỗi cho kẻ tội lỗi vay mượn để rồi thu lại đủ số. 35 Nhưng các con hãy yêu thương kẻ thù nghịch mình, làm lành và cho mượn mà đừng mong đền ơn, các con sẽ được trọng thưởng và được làm con Đấng Chí Cao, vì Ngài nhân từ đối với những kẻ vô ơn và gian ác. 36 Hãy có lòng thương xót như Cha các con là Đấng có lòng thương xót.”
Lên Án Người Khác(E)
37 “Đừng đoán xét thì các con khỏi bị đoán xét. Đừng lên án thì các con khỏi bị lên án. Hãy tha thứ thì các con sẽ được tha thứ. 38 Hãy cho, thì các con sẽ được ban cho. Người ta sẽ đong đấu đầy, nén chặt, lắc xuống, thêm cho đầy tràn mà đổ vào vạt áo các con; vì các con đong cho người ta theo mức nào, thì sẽ được đong lại theo mức ấy.”
39 Ngài còn dạy họ ngụ ngôn này: “Người mù có thể dẫn đường cho người mù không? Cả hai chẳng té xuống hố sao? 40 Môn đệ không hơn thầy, nhưng nếu được dạy dỗ đầy đủ thì sẽ như thầy mình. 41 Sao con thấy cái dằm trong mắt anh em con mà không nhìn biết cây xà trong mắt mình? 42 Sao con dám bảo anh em mình: ‘Này anh, để tôi lấy cái dằm trong mắt cho anh!’ mà không thấy cây xà trong mắt mình? Hỡi kẻ đạo đức giả, trước hết hãy lấy cây xà ra khỏi mắt mình, rồi con mới thấy rõ mà lấy cái dằm trong mắt anh em con.
43 Vì không có cây lành nào sinh quả độc, cũng không có cây độc nào sinh quả lành. 44 Hãy xem quả thì biết cây. Không ai hái vả nơi cây gai, hoặc hái nho nơi bụi gai. 45 Người thiện từ lòng tích lũy điều thiện mà phát ra điều thiện. Kẻ ác từ lòng gian ác mà phát ra điều ác, vì lòng đầy tràn nên miệng nói ra.
46 Tại sao các con gọi Ta là: ‘Chúa, Chúa!’ mà không thực hành lời Ta dạy? 47 Ta sẽ cho các con biết người đến cùng Ta, nghe lời Ta và thực hành thì giống như ai? 48 Người ấy giống như kẻ xây nhà, đào xuống thật sâu, đặt móng trên nền bằng đá; khi có lụt, nước sông chảy xiết, ập vào nhà ấy, nhưng không lay chuyển nổi, vì nhà được xây cất kiên cố. 49 Nhưng kẻ nghe mà không thực hành giống như người cất nhà trên đất, không nền móng, khi bị nước sông chảy xiết ập vào, nhà liền sập, thiệt hại nặng nề.”
