Dual Panel1Jesus <846> was going through <1279> the grain fields <4702> on <1722> a Sabbath <4521>, and <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> picked <5089> some heads of wheat <4719>, rubbed <5597> them in their hands <5495>, and <2532> ate <2068> them.
2But <1161> some <5100> of the Pharisees <5330> said <3004>, “Why <5101> are you doing <4160> what <3739> is against the law <3756> <1832> on the Sabbath <4521>?”
3Jesus <2424> answered <611> them <846>, “Haven’t <3761> you read <314> what <3739> David <1138> did <4160> when <3753> he <846> and <2532> his companions <3326> <846> were hungry <3983>–
4how <5613> he entered <1525> the house <3624> of God <2316>, took <2983> and ate <5315> the sacred <4286> bread <740>, which <3739> is <1832> not <3756> lawful <1832> for any to eat <5315> but <1487> <3361> the priests <2409> alone <3441>, and <2532> gave <1325> it to his companions <3326> <846>?”
5Then <2532> he said <3004> to them <846>, “The Son <5207> of Man <444> is <1510> lord <2962> of the Sabbath <4521>.”
6On <1722> another <2087> Sabbath <4521>, Jesus <846> entered <1525> the synagogue <4864> and <2532> was teaching <1321>. Now <2532> a man <444> was <1510> there <1563> whose right <1188> hand <5495> was <1510> withered <3584>.
7The experts in the law <1122> and <2532> the Pharisees <5330> watched <3906> Jesus <846> closely <3906> to see if <1487> he would heal <2323> on <1722> the Sabbath <4521>, so that <2443> they could find <2147> a reason to accuse <2723> him <846>.
8But <1161> he <846> knew <1492> their <846> thoughts <1261>, and <1161> said <2036> to the man <435> who had <2192> the withered <3584> hand <5495>, “Get up <1453> and <2532> stand <2476> here <1519> <3319>.” So <2532> he rose <450> and stood <2476> there.
9Then <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “I ask <1905> you <5209>, is it lawful <1832> to do good <15> on the Sabbath <4521> or <2228> to do evil <2554>, to save <4982> a life <5590> or <2228> to destroy <630> it?”
10After looking around <4017> at them <846> all <3956>, he said <2036> to <846> the man <846>, “Stretch out <1614> your <4675> hand <5495>.” The man did <4160> so <1161>, and <2532> his <846> hand <5495> was restored <600>.
11But <1161> they were filled <4130> with mindless rage <454> and <2532> began debating <1255> with <4314> one another <240> what <5101> they would do <4160> to Jesus <2424>.
12Now <1161> it was <1096> during <1722> this <3778> time <2250> that Jesus <846> went out <1831> to <1519> the mountain <3735> to pray <4336>, and <2532> he <1510> spent all night <1273> in <1722> prayer <4335> to God <2316>.
13When <3753> morning <2250> came <1096>, he called <4377> his <846> disciples <3101> and <2532> chose <1586> twelve <1427> of <575> them <846>, whom <3739> he <3687> also <2532> named <3687> apostles <652>:
14Simon <4613> (whom <3739> he named <3687> Peter <4074>), and <2532> his <846> brother <80> Andrew <406>; and <2532> James <2385>, John <2491>, Philip <5376>, Bartholomew <918>,
15Matthew <3156>, Thomas <2381>, James <2385> the son of Alphaeus <256>, Simon <4613> who was called <2564> the Zealot <2207>,
16Judas <2455> the son of James <2385>, and <2532> Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, who <3739> became <1096> a traitor <4273>.
17Then <2532> he came down <2597> with <3326> them <846> and stood <2476> on <1909> a <5117> level <3977> place <5117>. And <2532> a large <4183> number <3793> of his <846> disciples <3101> had gathered along with a vast <4183> multitude <4128> from <575> all over <3956> Judea <2449>, from Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> from the seacoast <3882> of Tyre <5184> and <2532> Sidon <4605>. They came <2064> to hear <191> him <846> and <2532> to be healed <2390> of <575> their <846> diseases <3554>,
18and <2532> those who suffered <1776> from <575> unclean <169> spirits <4151> were cured <2323>.
19The whole <3956> crowd <3793> was trying <2212> to touch <680> him <846>, because <3754> power <1411> was coming out <1831> from <3844> him <846> and <2532> healing <2390> them all <3956>.
20Then <2532> he <846> looked up <1869> <3788> at his <846> disciples <3101> and said <3004>: “Blessed <3107> are you who are poor <4434>, for <3754> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> belongs <1510> to you <5212>.
21“Blessed <3107> are you who hunger <3983> now <3568>, for <3754> you will be satisfied <5526>. “Blessed <3107> are you who weep <2799> now <3568>, for <3754> you will laugh <1070>.
22“Blessed <3107> are you <1510> when <3752> people <444> hate <3404> you <5209>, and <2532> when <3752> they exclude <873> you <5209> and <2532> insult <3679> you and <2532> reject <1544> you <5216> as <5613> evil <4190> on account of <1752> the Son <5207> of Man <444>!
23Rejoice <5463> in <1722> that <1565> day <2250>, and <2532> jump for joy <4640>, because <1063> your <5216> reward <3408> is great <4183> in <1722> heaven <3772>. For <1063> their <846> ancestors <3962> did <4160> the same things <846> to the prophets <4396>.
24“But <4133> woe <3759> to you <5213> who are rich <4145>, for <3754> you have received <568> your <5216> comfort <3874> already.
25“Woe <3759> to you <5213> who are well satisfied with food <1705> now <3568>, for <3754> you will be hungry <3983>. “Woe <3759> to you who laugh <1070> now <3568>, for <3754> you will mourn <3996> and <2532> weep <2799>.
26“Woe <3759> to you when <3752> all <3956> people <444> speak <3004> well <2570> of you <5209>, for <1063> their <846> ancestors <3962> did <4160> the same things <846> to the false prophets <5578>.
27“But <235> I say <3004> to you <5213> who are listening <191>: Love <25> your <5216> enemies <2190>, do <4160> good <2573> to those who hate <3404> you <5209>,
28bless <2127> those who curse <2672> you <5209>, pray <4336> for <4012> those who mistreat <1908> you <5209>.
29To the person who strikes <5180> you <4571> on <1909> the cheek <4600>, offer <3930> the other <243> as well, and <2532> from <575> the person who takes away <142> your <4675> coat <2440>, do <2967> not <3361> withhold <2967> your tunic <5509> either <2532>.
30Give <1325> to everyone <3956> who asks <154> you <4571>, and <2532> do <523> not <3361> ask for <523> your possessions <4674> back <523> from <575> the person who takes <142> them away <142>.
31Treat <4160> others <444> in the same way <3668> that you would want <2309> them <846> to <2443> treat <4160> you <5213>.
32“If <1487> you love <25> those who love <25> you <5209>, what <4169> credit <5485> is <1510> that to you <5213>? For <1063> even sinners <268> love <25> those who love <25> them <846>.
33And <2532> if <1437> you do good <15> to those who do good <15> to you <5209>, what <4169> credit <5485> is <1510> that to you <5213>? Even sinners <268> do <4160> the same <846>.
34And <2532> if <1437> you lend <1155> to those from <3844> whom <3739> you hope <1679> to be repaid <2983>, what <4169> credit <5485> is <1510> that to you <5213>? Even sinners <268> lend <1155> to sinners <268>, so that <2443> they may be repaid <618> in full <2470>.
35But <4133> love <25> your <5216> enemies <2190>, and <2532> do good <15>, and <2532> lend <1155>, expecting <560> nothing <3367> back <560>. Then <2532> your <5216> reward <3408> will be <1510> great <4183>, and <2532> you will be <1510> sons <5207> of the Most High <5310>, because <3754> he <846> is <1510> kind <5543> to <1909> ungrateful <884> and <2532> evil <4190> people.
36Be <1096> merciful <3629>, just <2531> as your <5216> Father <3962> is <1510> merciful <3629>.
37“Do <2919> not <3361> judge <2919>, and <2532> you will <2919> not <3756> <3361> be judged <2919>; do <2613> not <2532> <3361> condemn <2613>, and <2532> you will <2613> not <3756> <3361> be condemned <2613>; forgive <630>, and <2532> you will be forgiven <630>.
38Give <1325>, and <2532> it will be given <1325> to you <5213>: A good <2570> measure <3358>, pressed down <4085>, shaken <4531> together, running over <5240>, will be poured <1325> into <1519> your <5216> lap. For <1063> the measure <3358> you use <3354> will be <488> the measure <488> you <5213> receive.”
39He also <2532> told <2036> them <846> a parable <3850>: “Someone who is blind <5185> cannot <3385> <1410> lead <3594> another who is blind <5185>, can he? Won’t <3780> they <1706> both <297> fall <1706> into <1519> a pit <999>?
40A disciple <3101> is <1510> not <3756> greater than <5228> his teacher <1320>, but <1161> everyone <3956> when fully trained <2675> will be <1510> like <5613> his <846> teacher <1320>.
41Why <5101> do you see <991> the speck <2595> in <1722> your <4675> brother’s <80> eye <3788>, but <1161> fail to see <3756> <2657> the beam of wood <1385> in <1722> your own <2398>?
42How <4459> can <1410> you say <3004> to your <4675> brother <80>, ‘Brother <80>, let me <863> remove <1544> the speck <2595> from <1722> your <4675> eye <3788>,’ while you <4675> yourself <846> don’t <3756> see <991> the beam <1385> in <1722> your <4675> own <3788>? You hypocrite <5273>! First <4412> remove <1544> the beam <1385> from <1537> your <4675> own eye <3788>, and <2532> then <5119> you can see clearly <1227> to remove <1544> the speck <2595> from your <4675> brother’s <80> eye <3788>.
43“For <1063> no <3756> good <2570> tree <1186> bears <4160> bad <4550> fruit <2590>, nor <3761> again <3825> does <4160> a bad <4550> tree <1186> bear <4160> good <2570> fruit <2590>,
44for <1063> each <1538> tree <1186> is known <1097> by <1537> its own <2398> fruit <2590>. For <1063> figs <4810> are <4816> not <3756> gathered <4816> from <1537> thorns <173>, nor <3761> are <5166> grapes <4718> picked <5166> from <1537> brambles <942>.
45The good <18> person <444> out <1537> of the good <18> treasury <2344> of his heart <2588> produces <4393> good <18>, and <2532> the evil person <4190> out of <1537> his evil <4190> treasury produces <4393> evil <4190>, for <1063> his <846> mouth <4750> speaks <2980> from <1537> what fills <4051> his heart <2588>.
46“Why <5101> do you call <2564> me <3165> ‘Lord <2962>, Lord <2962>,’ and <2532> don’t <3756> do <4160> what <3739> I tell <3004> you?
47“Everyone <3956> who comes <2064> to <4314> me <3165> and <2532> listens <191> to my <3450> words <3056> and <2532> puts <4160> them <846> into practice– I will show <5263> you <5213> what <5101> he is <1510> like <3664>:
48He is <1510> like <3664> a man <444> building <3618> a house <3614>, who <3739> dug down <4626> deep <900>, and <2532> laid <5087> the foundation <2310> on <1909> bedrock <4073>. When <1161> a flood <4132> came <1096>, the river <4215> burst against <4366> that <1565> house <3614> but <2532> could <2480> not <3756> shake <4531> it <846>, because <1223> it <846> had been <3618> well <2570> built <3618>.
49But <1161> the person who hears <191> and <2532> does not <3361> put <4160> my words into practice <4160> is <1510> like <3664> a man <444> who built <3618> a house <3614> on <1909> the ground <1093> without <5565> a foundation <2310>. When the river <4215> burst against <4366> that <1565> house <3614>, it collapsed immediately <2117>, and <2532> was <1096> utterly destroyed <4485>!”
