Num
3:1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in
the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Num
3:2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn,
and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Num
3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Num
3:4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange
fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in
the presence of Aaron their father.
Num
3:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
3:6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister to him.
Num
3:7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the
whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
Num
3:8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and
the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the
tabernacle.
Num
3:9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are
wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
Num
3:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
3:12 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children
of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the
children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
Num
3:13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the
firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am
Yahweh."
Num
3:14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Num
3:15 "Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by
their families. You shall count every male from a month old and
upward."

Num
3:39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the
males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

3:40 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of
the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names.
Num
3:41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) instead of
all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of
the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the
children of Israel."

among the children of Israel.

Num
3:46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the
firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the

shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty
gerahs):
Num
3:48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them
is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
Num
3:49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the
number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Num
3:50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money,
one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of

over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.

4:15 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the
sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves
forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but
they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are

furnishings."
Num
4:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num
4:18 "Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
from among the Levites;
Num
4:19 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they
approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;
Num
4:20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a
moment, lest they die."
Num
4:21 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
4:22 "Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their
fathers' houses, by their families;
Num
4:23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until
fifty years old; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the
work in the Tent of Meeting.
Num
4:24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in

4:26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of

4:27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in
all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all

Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their duty shall be under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Num
4:29 "As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their
families, by their fathers' houses;
Num
4:30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to
fifty years old, everyone who enters on the service, to do the work
of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
4:31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their

Num
5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:2 "Command the children of Israel that they put out of the
camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is
unclean by the dead.
Num
5:3 Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that
they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
Num
5:4 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the
camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Num
5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:6 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman
commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh,
and that soul is guilty;
Num
5:7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part
of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Num
5:8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made
for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh
shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which
atonement shall be made for him.
Num
5:9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Num
5:10 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his."
Num
5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
5:12 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any
man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
Num
5:13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the
eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there
is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
Num
5:14 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of
his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on
him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
Num
5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall
bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley
meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it
is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing
iniquity to memory.
Num
5:16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
Num
5:17 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and
of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
take, and put it into the water.
Num
5:18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair
of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial
in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest
shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:19 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman,
'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to
uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of
bitterness that brings a curse.
Num
5:20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if
you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your
husband:'
Num
5:21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of
cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a
curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to
fall away, and your body to swell;
Num
5:22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels,
and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall
say, 'Amen, Amen.'
Num
5:23 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
Num
5:24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that
causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter
into her and become bitter.
Num
5:25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and
bring it to the altar.
Num
5:26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its
memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the
woman drink the water.
Num
5:27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if
she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband,
that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become
bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and
the woman will be a curse among her people.
Num
5:28 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be
free, and shall conceive seed.
Num
5:29 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her
husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
Num
5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is
jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and
the priest shall execute on her all this law.
Num
5:31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear
her iniquity."
Num
6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When
either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,
to separate himself to Yahweh,
Num
6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither
shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
Num
6:4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made
of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
Num
6:5 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor
come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates
himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the
hair of his head grow long.
Num
6:6 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall
not go near a dead body.
Num
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because
his separation to God is on his head.
Num
6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
Num
6:9 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles
the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day
of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
Num
6:10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
6:11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned
by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day.
Num
6:12 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and
shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the
former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Num
6:13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his
separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent
of Meeting,
Num
6:14 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year
old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings,
Num
6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal
offering, and their drink offerings.
Num
6:16 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
Num
6:17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to
Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer
also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
Num
6:18 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of
peace offerings.
Num
6:19 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the
head of his separation;
Num
6:20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before
Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is
waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may
drink wine.
Num
6:21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his
offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able
to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the
law of his separation."
Num
6:22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
6:23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you
shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
Num
6:24 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
Num
6:25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
Num
6:26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'
Num
6:27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and
I will bless them."

Num
7:1 It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, with all its
furniture, and the altar with all its vessels, and had anointed and
sanctified them;
Num
7:2 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses,
offered. These were the princes of the tribes. These are they who
were over those who were numbered:
Num
7:3 and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered
wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and
for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
Num
7:4 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
7:5 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the
service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the
Levites, to every man according to his service."
Num
7:6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the
Levites.
Num
7:7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon,
according to their service:
Num
7:8 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari,
according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.
Num
7:9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of
the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it on their shoulders.
Num
7:10 The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar in
the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their offerings
before the altar.
Num
7:11 Yahweh said to Moses, "They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar."

of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah,

Num
7:89 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was
on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he
spoke to him.
Num
8:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:2 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.' "
Num
8:3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the
lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Num
8:4 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold.
From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the
pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Num
8:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:6 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
cleanse them.
Num
8:7 You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water
of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor,
and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Num
8:8 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering, fine
flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin
offering.
Num
8:9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You
shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Num
8:10 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of
Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Num
8:11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave
offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be
theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
Num
8:12 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
Num
8:13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
Num
8:14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of
Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Num
8:15 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of
the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a
wave offering.
Num
8:16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of
Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all
the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
Num
8:17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine,
both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
Num
8:18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
children of Israel.
Num
8:19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons
from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children
of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the
children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of
Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
Num
8:20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of
Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Num
8:21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their
clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh;
and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Num
8:22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent
of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded
Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Num
8:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
8:24 "This is that which belongs to the Levites: from
twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the
service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
Num
8:25 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the
work, and shall serve no more,
Num
8:26 but shall minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting,
to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to
the Levites concerning their duties."
Luke 5
Luk 5:1
Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the
word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luk 5:2
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone
out of them, and were washing their nets.
Luk 5:3
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him
to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the
multitudes from the boat.
Luk 5:4
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into
the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
Luk 5:5
Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took
nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."
Luk 5:6
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and
their net was breaking.
Luk 5:7
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should
come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they
began to sink.
Luk 5:8
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
"Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
Luk 5:9
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish
which they had caught;
Luk
5:10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were
partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid. From
now on you will be catching people alive."
Luk
5:11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left
everything, and followed him.
Luk
5:12 It happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, there
was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face,
and begged him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me
clean."
Luk
5:13 He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I
want to. Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him.
Luk
5:14 He commanded him to tell no one, "But go your way, and
show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according
to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
Luk
5:15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
infirmities.
Luk
5:16 But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
Luk
5:17 It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and
there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come
out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of
the Lord was with him to heal them.
Luk
5:18 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought
to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
Luk
5:19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude,
they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with
his cot into the midst before Jesus.
Luk
5:20 Seeing their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are
forgiven you."
Luk
5:21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who
is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God
alone?"
Luk
5:22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why
are you reasoning so in your hearts?
Luk
5:23 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to
say, 'Arise and walk?'
Luk
5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on
earth to forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I
tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house."
Luk
5:25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he
was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Luk
5:26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were
filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."
Luk
5:27 After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named
Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"
Luk
5:28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
Luk
5:29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great
crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Luk
5:30 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples,
saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and
sinners?"
Luk
5:31 Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need
for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Luk
5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance."
Luk
5:33 They said to him, "Why do John's disciples often fast and
pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and
drink?"
Luk
5:34 He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the
bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk
5:35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away
from them. Then they will fast in those days."
Luk
5:36 He also told a parable to them. "No one puts a piece from
a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and
also the piece from the new will not match the old.
Luk
5:37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine
will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be
destroyed.
Luk
5:38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are
preserved.
Luk
5:39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he
says, 'The old is better.' "
Luke 6
Luk 6:1
Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was
going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of
grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Luk 6:2
But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that
which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"
Luk 6:3
Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did
when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
Luk 6:4
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show
bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful
to eat except for the priests alone?"
Luk 6:5
He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
Luk 6:6
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the
synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was
withered.
Luk 6:7
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would
heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Luk 6:8
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the
withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose
and stood.
Luk 6:9
Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it
lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or
to kill?"
Luk
6:10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch
out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as
the other.
Luk
6:11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another
about what they might do to Jesus.
Luk
6:12 It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to
pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Luk
6:13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he
chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Luk
6:14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James;
John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Luk
6:15 Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was
called the Zealot;
Luk
6:16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a
traitor.
Luk
6:17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a
crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all
Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to
hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk
6:18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they
were being healed.
Luk
6:19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from
him and healed them all.
Luk
6:20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, "Blessed
are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Luk
6:21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed
are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Luk
6:22 Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall
exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of
Man's sake.
Luk
6:23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward
is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the
prophets.
Luk
6:24 "But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your
consolation.
Luk
6:25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe
to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Luk
6:26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same
thing to the false prophets.
Luk
6:27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to
those who hate you,
Luk
6:28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Luk
6:29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and
from him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also.
Luk
6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away
your goods to give them back again.
Luk
6:31 "As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to
them.
Luk
6:32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For
even sinners love those who love them.
Luk
6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that
to you? For even sinners do the same.
Luk
6:34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit
is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as
much.
Luk
6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing
back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the
Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Luk
6:36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Luk
6:37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you
won't be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
Luk
6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For
with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
Luk
6:39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the
blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
Luk
6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is
fully trained will be like his teacher.
Luk
6:41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's
eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Luk
6:42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the
speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself don't see the
beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam
from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck
of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Luk
6:43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor
again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
Luk
6:44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't
gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble
bush.
Luk
6:45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out
that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the
heart, his mouth speaks.
Luk
6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things
which I say?
Luk
6:47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I
will show you who he is like.
Luk
6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and
laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke
against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on
the rock.
Luk
6:49 But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a
house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream
broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was
great."
