Luke 6 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Lord of the Sabbath

1 Now ^G1161 it happened ^G1096 that on a Sabbath ^G4521 He was passing ^G1279 through ^G1223 some grainfields ^G4702, and His disciples ^G3101 were picking ^G5089 and eating ^G2068 the heads ^G4719 of ^G4719 grain ^G4719, rubbing ^G5597 them in their hands ^G5495.

2 But some ^G5100 of the Pharisees ^G5330 said ^G3004, “Why ^G5101 do you do ^G4160 what ^G3739 is not lawful ^G1832 on the Sabbath ^G4521?” 3 And Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G3004 to them, “Have you never ^G3761 read ^G314 what ^G3739 David ^G1138 did ^G4160 when ^G3698 he was hungry ^G3983, he and those ^G3588 who were with him, 4 how ^G5613 he entered ^G1525 the house ^G3624 of God ^G2316, and took ^G2983 and ate ^G2068 the [fn]consecrated ^G4286 bread ^G740 which ^G3739 is not lawful ^G1832 for any to eat ^G2068 except ^G1508 the priests ^G2409 alone ^G3441, and gave ^G1325 it to his companions ^G3588 G3326?” 5 And He was saying ^G3004 to them, “The Son ^G5207 of Man ^G444 is Lord ^G2962 of the Sabbath ^G4521.”

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

6 Now it happened ^G1096 that on another ^G2087 Sabbath ^G4521 He entered ^G1525 the synagogue ^G4864 and was teaching ^G1321; and there was a man ^G444 there ^G1563 [fn]whose ^G2532 G846 right ^G1188 hand ^G5495 was withered ^G3584.

7 And the scribes ^G1122 and the Pharisees ^G5330 were watching ^G3906 Him closely ^G3906 to see if ^G1487 He heals ^G2323 on the Sabbath ^G4521, so ^G2443 that they might find ^G2147 reason to accuse ^G2723 Him. 8 But He knew ^G6063 [fn]what ^G1261 they were thinking ^G1261, and He said ^G3004 to the man ^G435 with the withered ^G3584 hand ^G5495, “Get ^G1453 up ^G1453 and [fn]come ^G2476 forward ^G1519 G3319!” And he stood ^G450 up ^G450 and [fn]came ^G2476 forward. 9 And Jesus ^G2424 said ^G3004 to them, “I ask ^G1905 you, is it lawful ^G1832 to do ^G15 good ^G15 or ^G2228 to do ^G2554 harm ^G2554 on the Sabbath ^G4521, to save ^G4982 a life ^G5590 or ^G2228 to destroy ^G622 it?” 10 And after looking ^G4017 around ^G4017 at them all ^G3956, He said ^G3004 to him, “Stretch ^G1614 out ^G1614 your hand ^G5495!” And he did ^G4160 so, and his hand ^G5495 was restored ^G600. 11 But they themselves ^G846 were filled ^G4130 with [fn]rage ^G454, and were discussing ^G1255 together ^G4314 G240 what ^G5101 G302 they might do ^G4160 to Jesus ^G2424.

Jesus Appoints the Twelve

12 Now it happened ^G1096 that [fn]at this ^G3778 time ^G2250 He went ^G1831 off ^G1831 to the mountain ^G3735 to pray ^G4336, and He was spending ^G1273 the ^G1273 whole ^G1273 night ^G1273 in prayer ^G4335 to God ^G2316.

13 And when ^G3753 day ^G2250 came ^G1096, He called ^G4377 His disciples ^G3101 to ^G4377 Him and chose ^G1586 twelve ^G1427 of them, whom ^G3739 He also ^G2532 named ^G3687 as apostles ^G652: 14 Simon ^G4613, whom ^G3739 He also ^G2532 named ^G3687 Peter ^G4074, and Andrew ^G406 his brother ^G80; and James ^G2385 and John ^G2491; and Philip ^G5376 and Bartholomew ^G918; 15 and Matthew ^G3156 and Thomas ^G2381; James ^G2385 the son of Alphaeus ^G256, and Simon ^G4613 who was called ^G2564 the Zealot ^G2208; 16 Judas ^G2455 the son of James ^G2385, and Judas ^G2455 Iscariot ^G2469, who ^G3739 became ^G1096 a traitor ^G4273.

17 And Jesus came ^G2597 down ^G2597 with them and stood ^G2476 on a level ^G3977 place ^G5117; and there was a large ^G4183 crowd ^G3793 of His disciples ^G3101, and a great ^G4183 multitude ^G4128 of people ^G2992 from all ^G3956 Judea ^G2449 and Jerusalem ^G2419 and the coastal ^G3882 region ^G3882 of Tyre ^G5184 and Sidon ^G4605, 18 who ^G3739 had come ^G2064 to hear ^G191 Him and to be healed ^G2390 of their diseases ^G3554; and those ^G3588 who were troubled ^G1776 with unclean ^G169 spirits ^G4151 were being cured ^G2323. 19 And all ^G3956 the crowd ^G3793 was trying ^G2212 to touch ^G681 Him, for power ^G1411 was coming ^G1831 from Him and healing ^G2390 them all ^G3956.

The Beatitudes

20 And turning ^G1869 His gaze ^G3788 toward ^G1519 His disciples ^G3101, He began to say ^G3004,

“Blessed ^G3107 are the poor ^G4434, for yours ^G5212 is the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316.

21 Blessed ^G3107 are those who hunger ^G3983 now ^G3568, for you shall be satisfied ^G5526.

Blessed ^G3107 are those who cry ^G2799 now ^G3568, for you shall laugh ^G1070.

22 Blessed ^G3107 are you when ^G3752 men ^G444 hate ^G3404 you, and exclude ^G873 you, and insult ^G3679 you, and scorn ^G1544 your name ^G3686 as evil ^G4190, for the sake ^G6025 of the Son ^G5207 of Man ^G444.

23 Be glad ^G5463 in that day ^G2250 and leap ^G4640 for joy, for behold ^G2400, your reward ^G3408 is great ^G4183 in heaven ^G3772. For their fathers ^G3962 were doing ^G4160 the same ^G846 things ^G2596 to the prophets ^G4396.

Jesus Pronounces Woes

24 But woe ^G3759 to you who are rich ^G4145, for you are receiving ^G568 your comfort ^G3874 in full ^G568.

25 Woe ^G3759 to you who [fn]are well-fed ^G1705 now ^G3568, for you shall be hungry ^G3983.

Woe ^G3759 to you who laugh ^G1070 now ^G3568, for you shall mourn ^G3996 and cry ^G2799.

26 Woe ^G3759 to you when ^G3752 all ^G3956 men ^G444 speak ^G3004 well ^G2573 of you, for their fathers ^G3962 were doing ^G4160 the same ^G846 things ^G2596 to the false ^G5578 prophets ^G5578.

Love Your Enemies

27 “But I say ^G3004 to you who hear ^G191, love ^G25 your enemies ^G2190, do ^G4160 good ^G2573 to those ^G3588 who hate ^G3404 you,

28 bless ^G2127 those ^G3588 who curse ^G2672 you, pray ^G4336 for those ^G3588 who disparage ^G1908 you. 29 Whoever hits ^G5180 you on the cheek ^G4600, offer ^G3930 him the other ^G243 also ^G2532; and whoever takes ^G142 away ^G142 your garment ^G2440, do not withhold ^G2967 your [fn]tunic ^G5509 from him either ^G2532. 30 Give ^G1325 to everyone ^G3956 who asks ^G154 of you, and whoever takes ^G142 away ^G142 what ^G3588 is yours ^G4674, do not demand ^G523 it back ^G523. 31 And [fn]treat ^G4160 others ^G444 the same ^G3668 way ^G3668 you want ^G2309 [fn]them to treat ^G4160 you. 32 And if ^G1487 you love ^G25 those ^G3588 who love ^G25 you, what ^G4169 credit ^G5485 is that to you? For even ^G2532 sinners ^G268 love ^G25 those ^G3588 who love ^G25 them. 33 And if ^G1437 you do ^G15 good ^G15 to those ^G3588 who do ^G15 good ^G15 to you, what ^G4169 credit ^G5485 is that to you? For even ^G2532 sinners ^G268 do ^G4160 the same ^G846. 34 And if ^G1437 you lend ^G1155 to those from whom ^G3739 you expect ^G1679 to receive ^G2983, what ^G4169 credit ^G5485 is that to you? Even ^G2532 sinners ^G268 lend ^G1155 to sinners ^G268 in ^G2443 order ^G2443 to ^G2443 receive ^G618 back ^G618 the same ^G2470 amount. 35 But love ^G25 your enemies ^G2190, and do ^G15 good ^G15, and lend ^G1155, [fn]expecting ^G560 nothing ^G3367 in ^G560 return ^G560; and your reward ^G3408 will be great ^G4183, and you will be sons ^G5207 of the Most ^G5310 High ^G5310; for He Himself ^G846 is kind ^G5543 to the ungrateful ^G884 and evil ^G4190. 36 [fn]Be merciful ^G3629, just ^G2531 as your Father ^G3962 is merciful ^G3629.

Do Not Judge

37 “And do not judge ^G2919, and you will not be judged ^G2919; and do not condemn ^G2613, and you will not be condemned ^G2613; [fn]pardon ^G630, and you will be [fn]pardoned ^G630.

38 Give ^G1325, and it will be given ^G1325 to you. They will [fn]pour ^G1325 into your lap ^G2859 a good ^G2570 measure ^G3358—pressed ^G4085 down ^G4085, shaken ^G4531 together ^G4531, running ^G5240 over ^G5240. For by your standard ^G3358 of measure ^G3354 it will be measured ^G488 to you in ^G488 return ^G488.”

39 And He also ^G2532 spoke ^G3004 a parable ^G3850 to them: “Can ^G1410 a blind ^G5185 man ^G5185 guide ^G3594 a blind ^G5185 man ^G5185? Will they not both ^G297 fall ^G1706 into a pit ^G999? 40 A [fn]student ^G3101 is not above ^G5228 his teacher ^G1320; but everyone ^G3956, after he has been fully ^G2675 trained ^G2675, will [fn]be like ^G5613 his teacher ^G1320. 41 And why ^G5101 do you look ^G991 at the speck ^G2595 that is in your brother’s ^G80 eye ^G3788, but do not notice ^G2657 the log ^G1385 that is in your own ^G2398 eye ^G3788? 42 How ^G4459 can ^G1410 you say ^G3004 to your brother ^G80, ‘Brother ^G80, let ^G863 me take ^G1544 out ^G1544 the speck ^G2595 that is in your eye ^G3788,’ when you yourself ^G846 do not see ^G991 the log ^G1385 that is in your own eye ^G3788? You hypocrite ^G5273, first ^G4413 take ^G1544 the log ^G1385 out ^G1544 of your own eye ^G3788, and then ^G5119 you will see ^G1227 clearly ^G1227 to take ^G1544 out ^G1544 the speck ^G2595 that is in your brother’s ^G80 eye ^G3788. 43 For there is no ^G3756 good ^G2570 tree ^G1186 which produces ^G4160 bad ^G4550 fruit ^G2590, nor ^G3761, [fn]on the other ^G3825 hand ^G3825, a bad ^G4550 tree ^G1186 which produces ^G4160 good ^G2570 fruit ^G2590. 44 For each ^G1538 tree ^G1186 is known ^G1097 by its own ^G2398 fruit ^G2590. For men do not gather ^G4816 figs ^G4810 from thorns ^G173, nor ^G3761 do they pick ^G5166 grapes ^G4718 from a bramble ^G942 bush ^G942. 45 The good ^G18 man ^G444 out of the good ^G18 [fn]treasure ^G2344 of his heart ^G2588 brings ^G4393 forth ^G4393 what ^G18 is ^G18 good ^G18; and the evil ^G4190 man out of the evil ^G4190 treasure brings ^G4393 forth ^G4393 what ^G4190 is ^G4190 evil ^G4190. For his mouth ^G4750 speaks ^G2980 from the abundance ^G4051 of his heart ^G2588.

Build Your House on the Rock

46 “Now why ^G5101 do you call ^G2564 Me, ‘Lord ^G2962, Lord ^G2962,’ and do not do ^G4160 what ^G3739 I say ^G3004?

47 Everyone ^G3956 who comes ^G2064 to Me and hears ^G191 My words ^G3056 and does ^G4160 them, I will show ^G5263 you whom ^G5101 he is like ^G3664: 48 he is like ^G3664 a man ^G444 building ^G3618 a house ^G3614, who ^G3739 dug ^G4626 and went ^G900 deep ^G900, and laid ^G5087 a foundation ^G2310 on the rock ^G4073; and when a flood ^G4132 occurred ^G1096, the river ^G4215 burst ^G4366 against ^G4366 that house ^G3614 and could ^G2480 not shake ^G4531 it, because ^G1223 it had been well ^G2573 built ^G3618. 49 But the one who heard ^G191 and did not do ^G4160 accordingly, is like ^G3664 a man ^G444 who built ^G3618 a house ^G3614 on the ground ^G1093 without ^G5565 any foundation ^G2310; and the river ^G4215 burst ^G4366 against ^G4366 it and immediately ^G2117 it collapsed ^G6081, and the ruin ^G4485 of that house ^G3614 was great ^G3173.”
