Luke 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 On a certain Sabbath Jesus was walking through a field of ripe grain. His disciples were pulling off heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands to get rid of the chaff, and eating them.

2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing that, breaking a Sabbath rule?"

3 But Jesus stood up for them. "Have you never read what David and those with him did when they were hungry?

4 How he entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat? He also handed it out to his companions."

5 Then he said, "The Son of Man is no slave to the Sabbath; he's in charge."

6 On another Sabbath he went to the meeting place and taught. There was a man there with a crippled right hand.

7 The religion scholars and Pharisees had their eye on Jesus to see if he would heal the man, hoping to catch him in a Sabbath infraction.

8 He knew what they were up to and spoke to the man with the crippled hand: "Get up and stand here before us." He did.

9 Then Jesus addressed them, "Let me ask you something: What kind of action suits the Sabbath best? Doing good or doing evil? Helping people or leaving them helpless?"

10 He looked around, looked each one in the eye. He said to the man, "Hold out your hand." He held it out - it was as good as new!

11 They were beside themselves with anger, and started plotting how they might get even with him.

12 At about that same time he climbed a mountain to pray. He was there all night in prayer before God.

13 The next day he summoned his disciples; from them he selected twelve he designated as apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter, Andrew, his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

15 Matthew, Thomas, James, son of Alphaeus, Simon, called the Zealot,

16 Judas, son of James, Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

17 Coming down off the mountain with them, he stood on a plain surrounded by disciples, and was soon joined by a huge congregation from all over Judea and Jerusalem, even from the seaside towns of Tyre and Sidon.

18 They had come both to hear him and to be cured of their ailments. Those disturbed by evil spirits were healed.

19 Everyone was trying to touch him - so much energy surging from him, so many people healed!

20 Then he spoke: You're blessed when you've lost it all. God's kingdom is there for the finding.

21 You're blessed when you're ravenously hungry. Then you're ready for the Messianic meal. You're blessed when the tears flow freely. Joy comes with the morning.

22 "Count yourself blessed every time someone cuts you down or throws you out, every time someone smears or blackens your name to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and that that person is uncomfortable.

23 You can be glad when that happens - skip like a lamb, if you like! - for even though they don't like it, I do . . . and all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company; my preachers and witnesses have always been treated like this. Give Away Your Life

24 But it's trouble ahead if you think you have it made. What you have is all you'll ever get.

25 And it's trouble ahead if you're satisfied with yourself. Your self will not satisfy you for long. And it's trouble ahead if you think life's all fun and games. There's suffering to be met, and you're going to meet it.

26 "There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests - look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.

27 "To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.

28 When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person.

29 If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it.

30 If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.

31 "Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them!

32 If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that.

33 If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that.

34 If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.

35 "I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You'll never - I promise - regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst.

36 Our Father is kind; you be kind.

37 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults - unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier.

38 Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back - given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity."

39 He quoted a proverb: "'Can a blind man guide a blind man?' Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch?

40 An apprentice doesn't lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher.

41 "It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own.

42 Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

43 "You don't get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree.

44 The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives.

45 It's who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

46 "Why are you so polite with me, always saying 'Yes, sir,' and 'That's right, sir,' but never doing a thing I tell you?

47 These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.

48 "If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last.

49 But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 factum est autem in sabbato secundoprimo cum transiret per sata vellebant discipuli eius spicas et manducabant confricantes manibus

2 quidam autem Pharisaeorum dicebant illis quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis

3 et respondens Iesus ad eos dixit nec hoc legistis quod fecit David cum esurisset ipse et qui cum eo erant

4 quomodo intravit in domum Dei et panes propositionis sumpsit et manducavit et dedit his qui cum ipso erant quos non licet manducare nisi tantum sacerdotibus

5 et dicebat illis quia dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati

6 factum est autem et in alio sabbato ut intraret in synagogam et doceret et erat ibi homo et manus eius dextra erat arida

7 observabant autem scribae et Pharisaei si in sabbato curaret ut invenirent accusare illum

8 ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum et ait homini qui habebat manum aridam surge et sta in medium et surgens stetit

9 ait autem ad illos Iesus interrogo vos si licet sabbato bene facere an male animam salvam facere an perdere

10 et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini extende manum tuam et extendit et restituta est manus eius

11 ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia et conloquebantur ad invicem quidnam facerent Iesu

12 factum est autem in illis diebus exiit in montem orare et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei

13 et cum dies factus esset vocavit discipulos suos et elegit duodecim ex ipsis quos et apostolos nominavit

14 Simonem quem cognominavit Petrum et Andream fratrem eius Iacobum et Iohannem Philippum et Bartholomeum

15 Mattheum et Thomam Iacobum Alphei et Simonem qui vocatur Zelotes

16 Iudam Iacobi et Iudam Scarioth qui fuit proditor

17 et descendens cum illis stetit in loco campestri et turba discipulorum eius et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudaea et Hierusalem et maritimae Tyri et Sidonis

18 qui venerunt ut audirent eum et sanarentur a languoribus suis et qui vexabantur ab spiritibus inmundis curabantur

19 et omnis turba quaerebant eum tangere quia virtus de illo exiebat et sanabat omnes

20 et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulos suos dicebat beati pauperes quia vestrum est regnum Dei

21 beati qui nunc esuritis quia saturabimini beati qui nunc fletis quia ridebitis

22 beati eritis cum vos oderint homines et cum separaverint vos et exprobraverint et eiecerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis

23 gaudete in illa die et exultate ecce enim merces vestra multa in caelo secundum haec enim faciebant prophetis patres eorum

24 verumtamen vae vobis divitibus quia habetis consolationem vestram

25 vae vobis qui saturati estis quia esurietis vae vobis qui ridetis nunc quia lugebitis et flebitis

26 vae cum bene vobis dixerint omnes homines secundum haec faciebant prophetis patres eorum

27 sed vobis dico qui auditis diligite inimicos vestros benefacite his qui vos oderunt

28 benedicite maledicentibus vobis orate pro calumniantibus vos

29 ei qui te percutit in maxillam praebe et alteram et ab eo qui aufert tibi vestimentum etiam tunicam noli prohibere

30 omni autem petenti te tribue et qui aufert quae tua sunt ne repetas

31 et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines et vos facite illis similiter

32 et si diligitis eos qui vos diligunt quae vobis est gratia nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt

33 et si benefeceritis his qui vobis benefaciunt quae vobis est gratia siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt

34 et si mutuum dederitis his a quibus speratis recipere quae gratia est vobis nam et peccatores peccatoribus fenerantur ut recipiant aequalia

35 verumtamen diligite inimicos vestros et benefacite et mutuum date nihil desperantes et erit merces vestra multa et eritis filii Altissimi quia ipse benignus est super ingratos et malos

36 estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est

37 nolite iudicare et non iudicabimini nolite condemnare et non condemnabimini dimittite et dimittemini

38 date et dabitur vobis mensuram bonam confersam et coagitatam et supereffluentem dabunt in sinum vestrum eadem quippe mensura qua mensi fueritis remetietur vobis

39 dicebat autem illis et similitudinem numquid potest caecus caecum ducere nonne ambo in foveam cadent

40 non est discipulus super magistrum perfectus autem omnis erit sicut magister eius

41 quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui trabem autem quae in oculo tuo est non consideras

42 et quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo frater sine eiciam festucam de oculo tuo ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns hypocrita eice primum trabem de oculo tuo et tunc perspicies ut educas festucam de oculo fratris tui

43 non est enim arbor bona quae facit fructus malos neque arbor mala faciens fructum bonum

44 unaquaeque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus neque de rubo vindemiant uvam

45 bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum et malus homo de malo profert malum ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur

46 quid autem vocatis me Domine Domine et non facitis quae dico

47 omnis qui venit ad me et audit sermones meos et facit eos ostendam vobis cui similis est

48 similis est homini aedificanti domum qui fodit in altum et posuit fundamenta supra petram inundatione autem facta inlisum est flumen domui illi et non potuit eam movere fundata enim erat supra petram

49 qui autem audivit et non fecit similis est homini aedificanti domum suam supra terram sine fundamento in quam inlisus est fluvius et continuo concidit et facta est ruina domus illius magna
