Lucas 12 - Bíblia Online

At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit. 
But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear. 
So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops. 
And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that. 
But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him. 
Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind. 
But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows. 
And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God. 
But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God. 
And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness. 
And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say: 
For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say. 
And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me. 
But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you? 
And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has. 
And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile: 
And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit. 
And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods. 
And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy. 
But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together? 
So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God. 
And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed. 
Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing? 
Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds! 
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller? 
If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest? 
Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these. 
But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith? 
And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts. 
For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them. 
But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition. 
Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 
Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction. 
For where your wealth is, there will your heart be. 
Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning. 
And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly. 
Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food. 
And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants. 
But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into. 
So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him. 
And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men? 
And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time? 
Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so. 
Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods. 
But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine; 
The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith; 
And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows; 
But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested. 
I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted. 
But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete! 
Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division: 
For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three. 
They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. 
Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is. 
And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is. 
O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you? 
And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right? 
For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison. 
I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing. 

In those {times}, the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; 
but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known; 
therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do. 
But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear *him*. 
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God. 
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows. 
But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God; 
but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God; 
and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 
But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; 
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said. 
And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me. 
But he said to him, Man, who established me {as} a judge or a divider over you? 
And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for {it is} not because a man is in abundance {that} his life is in his possessions. 
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. 
And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not {a place} where I shall lay up my fruits. 
And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things; 
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry. 
But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared? 
Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 
And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on. 
The life is more than food, and the body than raiment. 
Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are *ye* than the birds? 
But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit? 
If therefore ye cannot {do} even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest? 
Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. 
But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into {the} oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith? 
And *ye*, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety; 
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things; 
but seek his kingdom, and {all} these things shall be added to you. 
Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom. 
Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy. 
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. 
Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning; 
and *ye* like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately. 
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord {on} coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them. 
And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find {them} thus, blessed are those {bondmen}. 
But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through. 
And ye therefore, be *ye* ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think {it}, the Son of man comes. 
And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all? 
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season? 
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord {on} coming shall find doing thus; 
verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has. 
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken, 
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers. 
But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared {himself} nor done his will, shall be beaten with many {stripes}; 
but he who knew {it} not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom {men} have committed much, they will ask from him the more. 
I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled? 
But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished! 
Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division: 
for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three: 
father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 
And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens. 
And when {ye see} the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens. 
Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how {is it then that} ye do not discern this time? 
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 
For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 
I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
