1One sabbath he was going through the cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears of corn, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2Some Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is forbidden on the sabbath?”
3Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4He went into the house of God and took the sacred bread to eat and gave it to his men, though only the priests are allowed to eat it.”
5He also said to them, “The Son of Man is master of the sabbath.”
6On another sabbath he had gone to synagogue and was teaching. There was a man in the congregation whose right arm was withered;
7and the scribes and Pharisees were on the watch to see whether Jesus would heal him on the sabbath, so that they could find a charge to bring against him.
8But he knew what was in their minds and said to the man with the withered arm, “Stand up and come out here.” So he stood up and came out.
9Then Jesus said to them, “I put this question to you: is it permitted to do good or to do evil on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?”
10He looked round at them all, and then he said to the man, “Stretch out your arm.” He did so, and his arm was restored.
11But they totally failed to understand, and began to discuss with one another what they could do to Jesus.
12During this time he went out one day into the hill-country to pray, and spent the night in prayer to God.
13When day broke he called his disciples to him, and from among them he chose twelve and named them apostles:
14Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot who turned traitor.
17He came down the hill with them and stopped on some level ground where a large crowd of his disciples had gathered, and with them great numbers of people from Jerusalem and all Judaea and from the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to listen to him, and to be cured of their diseases.
18Those who were troubled with unclean spirits were healed;
19and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because power went out from him and cured them all.
Jesus's sermon to the disciples
20TURNING to his disciples he began to speak: “Blessed are you who are in need; the kingdom of God is yours.
21Blessed are you who now go hungry; you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now; you will laugh.
22“Blessed are you when people hate you and ostracize you, when they insult you and slander your very name, because of the Son of Man.
23On that day exult and dance for joy, for you have a rich reward in heaven; that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24“But alas for you who are rich; you have had your time of happiness.
25Alas for you who are well fed now; you will go hungry. Alas for you who laugh now; you will mourn and weep.
26Alas for you when all speak well of you; that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.
27“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;
28bless those who curse you; pray for those who treat you spitefully.
29If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also; if anyone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well.
30Give to everyone who asks you; if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31“Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
32If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33Again, if you do good only to those who do good to you, what credit is there in that? Even sinners do as much.
34And if you lend only where you expect to be repaid, what credit is there in that? Even sinners lend to each other to be repaid in full.
35But you must love your enemies and do good, and lend without expecting any return; and you will have a rich reward: you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
36Be compassionate, as your Father is compassionate.
37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned;
38give, and gifts will be given you. Good measure, pressed and shaken down and running over, will be poured into your lap; for whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt to you in turn.”
39He also spoke to them in a parable: “Can one blind man guide another? Will not both fall into the ditch?
40No pupil ranks above his teacher; fully trained he can but reach his teacher's level.
41“Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, with never a thought for the plank in your own?
42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you are blind to the plank in your own? You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's.
43“There is no such thing as a good tree producing bad fruit, nor yet a bad tree producing good fruit.
44Each tree is known by its own fruit: you do not gather figs from brambles or pick grapes from thistles.
45Good people produce good from the store of good within themselves; and evil people produce evil from the evil within them. For the words that the mouth utters come from the overflowing of the heart.
46“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ -- and never do what I tell you?
47Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and acts on them -- I will show you what he is like.
48He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundations on rock. When the river was in flood, it burst upon that house, but could not shift it, because it had been soundly built.
49But he who hears and does not act is like a man who built his house on the soil without foundations. As soon as the river burst upon it, the house collapsed, and fell with a great crash.”
