CHAPTER 6
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and
his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing
them
in
their
hands.
2
And certain of the
Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
3
And
Jesus answering them said,
Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was
an hungred, and they which were with him;
4
How he went into the house of God, and did take
and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but
for the priests alone?
5
And he said unto them,
That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and
there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him,
whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8
But
he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand,
Rise up, and stand forth
in the midst.
And he arose and stood forth.
9
Then said Jesus unto them,
I will ask you one thing;
Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy
it?
10
And
looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man,
Stretch forth thy hand.
And he did so:
and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11
And they were filled with madness; and communed
one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went
out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13
And when it was day, he called
unto him
his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom
also he named apostles;
14
Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James
and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15
Matthew and Thomas, James the
son
of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,
16
And Judas
the brother
of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and
a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and
Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18
And they that were vexed
with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19
And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for
there went virtue out of him, and healed
them
all.
20
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,
Blessed
be ye
poor: for yours is the
kingdom of God.
21
Blessed
are ye
that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed
are ye
that weep
now: for ye shall laugh.
22
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate
you
from their company,
and shall reproach
you,
and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of
man’s sake.
23
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward
is
great in heaven:
for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye
have received your consolation.
25
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of
you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
