- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 It happened on an after saboth that he went thorow the corne felde and that his disciples plucked the eares of corne and ate and rubbed them in their hondes.
1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Why do the that which is not laufull to do on the saboth dayes?
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
3 And Iesus answered them and sayde: Have ye not redde what David dyd when he him sylfe was anhungred and they which were with him:
3 Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4 how he went into the housse of God and toke and ate the loves of halowed breed and gave also to them which were with him: which was not laufull to eate but for the prestes only.
4 how he entered into God’s house, 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?”
5 And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde of the saboth daye.
5 He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
6 And it fortuned in a nother saboth also that he entred in to the sinagoge and taught. And ther was a man whose right honde was dryed vp.
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.
7 And the Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.
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.
8 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the man which had the wyddred honde: Ryse vp and stonde forthe in the myddes. And he arose and stepped forthe.
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.
9 Then sayde Iesus vnto them: I will axe you a question: Whether is it laufull on the saboth dayes to do good or to do evill? to save lyfe or for to destroye it?
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?”
10 And he behelde them all in compasse and sayd vnto the man: Stretche forth thy honde. And he dyd so and his honde was restored and made as whoole as the other.
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.
11 And they were filled full of madnes and communed one with another what they myght do to Iesu.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it fortuned in thoose dayes that he went out into a mountayne for to praye and cotinued all nyght in prayer to god.
12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13 And assone as it was daye he called his disciples and of the he chose twelve which also he called apostles.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simon who he named Peter: and Andrew his brother. Iames and Ihon Philip and Bartlemew
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Mathew and Thomas Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simon called zelotes
15 Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;
16 and Iudas Iames sonne and Iudas Iscarioth which same was the traytour.
16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
17 And he came doune with them and stode in the playne felde with the company of his disciples and agreate multitude of people out of all parties of Iurie and Ierusalem and from the see cooste of Tire and Sidon which came to heare hym and to be healed of their diseases:
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,
18 and they also that were vexed with foule spretes and they were healed.
18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
19 And all the people preased to touche him: for there went vertue out of him and healed them all.
19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
20 And he lifted vp his eyes apon the disciples and sayde: Blessed be the poore: for yours is the kyngdome of God.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
21 Blessed are ye that honger now: for ye shalbe satisfied.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are ye that wepe now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake.
22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23 Reioyse ye then and be gladde: for beholde youre rewarde is greate in heven. After this manner their fathers entreated the Prophetes.
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.
24 But wo be to you that are ryche: for ye have therin youre consolacion.
24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
25 Wo be to you that are full: for ye shall honger. Wo be to you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle and wepe.
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.
26 Wo be to you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes.
26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 But I saye vnto you which heare: Love youre enemyes. Do good to the which hate you.
27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Blesse the that course you. And praye for the which wrongfully trouble you.
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
29 And vnto him that smyteth the on the one cheke offer also the other. And him that taketh awaye thy goune forbid not to take thy coote also.
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.
30 Geve to every man that axeth of the. And of him that taketh awaye thy goodes axe them not agayne.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 And as the wolde that men shuld doo to you: so do ye to them lyke wyse.
31 “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
32 If ye love the which love you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners love their lovers.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 And yf ye do for them which do for you: what thanke are ye worthy of? For the very synners do even the same.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 If ye lende to them of whome ye hoope to receave: what thanke shall ye have: for the very synners lende to synners to receave as moch agayne.
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.
35 Wherfore love ye youre enemys do good and lende lokynge for nothinge agayne and youre rewarde shalbe greate and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the evyll.
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.
36 Be ye therfore mercifull as youre father is mercifull.
36 “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 Iudge not and ye shall not be Iudged. Condemne not: and ye shall not be condemned. Forgeve and ye shalbe forgeven.
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.
38 Geve and that shalbe geven vnto you: good measure pressed doune shaken to geder and runnynge over shall men geve into youre bosomes. For with what measure ye mete with ye same shall men mete to you agayne.
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.”
39 And he put forthe a similitude vnto the: Can the blynde leade the blynde? Do they not both then fall into the dyche?
39 He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
40 The disciple is not above his master. Every man shalbe perfecte even as his master is.
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 Why seyst thou a moote in thy brothers eye and considerest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye?
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?
42 Ether how cannest thou saye to thy brother: Brother let me pull out the moote that is in thyne eye: when thou perceavest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye? Ypocrite cast out the beame out of thyne awne eye fyrst and then shalt thou se perfectly to pull out the moote out of thy brothers eye.
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.
43 It is not a good tree that bringeth forthe evyll frute: nether is that an evyll tree that bringeth forthe good frute.
43 “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
44 For every tree is knowen by his frute. Nether of thornes gader men fygges nor of busshes gader they grapes.
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.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which is good. And an evyll man out of the evyll treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which ys evyll. For of the aboundaunce of the her his mouthe speakethe.
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.
46 Why call ye me Master, Master: and do not as I bid you?
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
47 whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke.
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.
48 He is like a man which bilt an housse: and digged depe and layde the foundacion on a rocke. When the waters arose the fludde bet apon that housse and coulde not move that. For it was grounded apon a rocke.
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.
49 But he that heareth and doth not is lyke a man that with out foundacion bylt an housse apon the erth agaynst which the fludde did bet: and it fell by and by. And the fall of that housse was greate.
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.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord said in His teaching: "Judge not, that ye be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven unto you; be merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; with what measure ye mete, it shall be …
But I say unto you, Pray for your enemies, and love them that hate you, and bless them that curse you, and pray for them that despitefully use you." And that we should communicate to the needy, and do nothing for glory, He said, "Give to him that asketh, and from him that would borrow turn not away; for if …
The production, again, of the Duodecad of the Æons, is indicated by the fact that the Lord was twelve years of age when He disputed with the teachers of the law, and by the election of the apostles, for of these there were twelve. The other eighteen Æons are made manifest in this way: that the Lord, [according to them,] …
… they are multiplied above number." This takes place now, since He has spoken, first by the mouth of his forerunner John, and afterward by His own mouth, saying, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He chose disciples, whom He also called apostles, of lowly birth, unhonored, and illiterate, so that whatever great thing they might be or …

And again He saith, "When they shall cast out your name as evil, rejoice ye, and leap for joy." For not only of the dangers they underwent, but of the calumny also, He appoints the recompence to be great.
