Luke 6:12–38

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out ⁱinto a mountain to pray, and continued all night in ^kprayer to God. ¹³And when it was day, ^lhe called unto him his disciples: ^mand of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; ¹⁴Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called ⁿZelotes, ¹⁶and ^oJudas ^pthe brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

¹⁷And he came down with them, and stood ^qin the plain, and the company of his disciples, and ^ra great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of ^sTyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. ¹⁹And the whole multitude ^tsought to touch him: for there went ^uvirtue out of him, and healed them all.

²⁰And ^xhe lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

^yBlessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.

Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they ^zshall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. ²³Rejoice ye in that day, and leap ^afor joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

^24bBut woe unto you that are ^crich: for ye ^dhave received your ^econsolation.

²⁵Woe unto you that are full: for ^fye shall hunger.

Woe unto you ^gthat laugh now: for ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Woe unto you, ^hwhen all men shall speak well of you: for so did their fathers to the ⁱfalse prophets.

²⁷But I say unto you which hear, ^kLove your enemies, do good to them which hate you, ²⁸bless them that curse you, and ^kpray for them which despitefully use you. ²⁹And ^lunto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; ^mand him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. ³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. ³¹And ⁿas ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. ^32oFor if ye love them which love you, what ^pthank have ye? for ^qsinners also love those that love them. ³³And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what ^pthank have ye? for ^qsinners also do even the same. ^34rAnd if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what ^pthank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. ³⁵But ^slove ye your enemies, and do good, and ^rlend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ^tye shall be the children of ^uthe Highest: for he is ^xkind unto the unthankful and to the evil. ³⁶Be ye therefore ^ymerciful, as your Father also is ^ymerciful. ^37zJudge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: ^aforgive, and ye shall be forgiven: ^38bgive, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your ^cbosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
