 <<  Lukas 12 >> 

1IN THE meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples, Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy [producing unrest and violent agitation].

2Nothing is [so closely] covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known.

3Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard {and} listened to in the light, and what you have whispered in [people's] ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

4I tell you, My friends, do not dread {and} be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.

5But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you, fear Him!

6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And [yet] not one of them is forgotten {or} uncared for in the presence of God.

7But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear {or} seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows.

8And I tell you, Whoever declares openly [speaking out freely] {and} confesses that he is My worshiper {and} acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man also will declare {and} confess {and} acknowledge him before the angels of God.

9But he who disowns {and} denies {and} rejects {and} refuses to acknowledge Me before men will be disowned {and} denied {and} rejected {and} refused acknowledgement in the presence of the angels of God.

10And everyone who makes a statement {or} speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [that is, whoever intentionally comes short of the reverence due the Holy Spirit], it will not be forgiven him [for him there is no forgiveness].

11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, do not be anxious [beforehand] how you shall reply in defense or what you are to say.

12For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour {and} moment what [you] ought to say.

13Someone from the crowd said to Him, Master, order my brother to divide the inheritance {and} share it with me.

14But He told him, Man, who has appointed Me a judge or umpire {and} divider over you?

15And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man's life does not consist in {and} is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance {or} that which is over and above his needs.

16Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile {and} yielded plentifully.

17And he considered {and} debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place [in which] to gather together my harvest.

18And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain {or produce} and my goods.

19And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, {and} enjoy yourself merrily.

20But God said to him, You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?

21So it is with the one who continues to lay up {and} hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares].

22And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious {and} troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear.

23For life is more than food, and the body [more] than clothes.

24Observe {and} consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn; and [yet] God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than the birds!

25And which of you by being overly anxious {and} troubled with cares can add a cubit to his stature {or} a moment [unit] of time to his age [the length of his life]?

26If then you are not able to do such a little thing as that, why are you anxious {and} troubled with cares about the rest?

27Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither [wearily] toil nor spin {nor} {weave;} yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these. [I Kings 10:4-7.]

28But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you [people] of little faith?

29And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into] what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind [unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense];

30For all the pagan world is [greedily] seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Only aim at {and} strive for {and} seek His kingdom, and all these things shall be supplied to you also.

32Do not be seized with alarm {and} struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom!

33Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses {and} handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing {and} inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

35Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning,

36And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home from the marriage feast, so that when he returns from the wedding and comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

37Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake {and} alert {and} watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them!

38If he comes in the second watch (before midnight) or the third watch (after midnight), and finds them so, blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants!

39But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake {and} alert {and} watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through {and} broken into.

40You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour {and} a moment when you do not anticipate it.

41Peter said, Lord, are You telling this parable for us, or for all alike?

42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his household service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time?

43Blessed (happy and to be envied) is that servant whom his master finds so doing when he arrives.

44Truly I tell you, he will set him in charge over all his possessions.

45But if that servant says in his heart, My master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants and the maids and to eat and drink and get drunk,

46The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him {and} cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful.

47And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many [lashes].

48But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating shall be beaten with few [lashes]. For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require {and} demand all the more.

49I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!

50I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how greatly {and} sorely I am urged on (impelled, constrained) until it is accomplished!

51Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;

52For from now on in one house there will be five divided [among themselves], three against two and two against three.

53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

54He also said to the crowds of people, When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, It is going to rain! And so it does.

55And when [you see that] a south wind is blowing, you say, There will be severe heat! And it occurs.

56You playactors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently] to discern {and} interpret {and} prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern {and} interpret {and} apply the proof to this present time?

57And why do you not judge what is just {and} personally decide what is right?

58Then as you go with your accuser before a magistrate, on the way make a diligent effort to settle {and} be quit (free) of him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.

59I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last [fraction of a] cent.
