1 Em um sábado, passando Jesus pelas searas, seus discípulos colhiam espigas e, debulhando-as com as mãos, comiam-nas.
2 Perguntaram alguns dos fariseus: Por que fazeis o que não é lícito no sábado?
3 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Nem ao menos tendes lido o que fez Davi, quando teve fome, ele e seus companheiros?
4 como entrou na casa de Deus, tomou e comeu os pães da proposição, que somente aos sacerdotes era lícito comer, e os deu também aos que com ele estavam?
5 E acrescentou: O Filho do homem é senhor do sábado.
6 Em outro sábado entrou na sinagoga e começou a ensinar. Ali se achava um homem, que tinha seca a mão direita.
7 Os escribas e os fariseus observaram-no para ver se ele curava nesse dia, a fim de acharem pretexto para o acusar.
8 Mas ele, conhecendo-lhes os pensamentos, disse ao homem que tinha seca a mão: Levanta-te e fica no meio de nós; e ele, levantando-se, ficou em pé.
9 Disse-lhes Jesus: Pergunto-vos: É lícito no sábado fazer o bem ou o mal, salvar a vida ou tirá-la?
10 Depois de olhar para todos os que o rodeavam, disse ao homem: Estende a mão. Ele a estendeu, e a mão lhe foi restabelecida.
11 Mas eles se encheram de furor; e falavam uns com os outros, para ver o que fariam a Jesus.
12 Naqueles dias retirou-se para o monte a orar, e passou a noite, orando a Deus.
13 Depois de amanhecer, chamou seus discípulos e escolheu doze dentre eles, aos quais deu também o nome de apóstolos,
14 a saber: Simão, a quem deu ainda o nome de Pedro, e André, seu irmão; Tiago e João; Filipe e Bartolomeu;
15 Mateus e Tomé; Tiago, filho de Alfeu, e Simão chamado zelote;
16 Judas, filho de Tiago, e Judas Iscariotes, que se tornou traidor;
17 e descendo com eles, parou num lugar plano, onde se achava grande número de seus discípulos e muito povo de toda a Judéia, de Jerusalém e do litoral de Tiro e de Sidom, que vieram para ouvi-lo e ser curados das suas enfermidades.
18 Os que eram atormentados por espíritos imundos, ficavam sãos.
19 Todo o povo procurava tocá-lo, porque saía dele uma virtude que os curava a todos.
20 Olhando para seus discípulos, começou a dizer: Bem-aventurados vós os pobres, porque vosso é o reino de Deus.
21 Bem-aventurados vós que agora tendes fome, porque sereis fartos. Bem-aventurados vós que agora chorais, porque vos rireis.
22 Bem-aventurados sois, quando os homens vos odiarem, e quando vos expulsarem da sua companhia, vos ultrajarem e rejeitarem o vosso nome como indigno, por causa do Filho do homem.
23 Regozijai-vos naquele dia e exultai, porque grande é o vosso galardão no céu; pois assim seus pais trataram aos profetas.
24 Mas ai de vós que sois ricos! porque já recebestes a vossa consolação.
25 Ai de vós, os que agora estais fartos! porque tereis fome. Ai de vós, os que agora rides! porque haveis de lamentar e chorar.
26 Ai de vós, quando todos vos louvarem! porque assim seus pais trataram aos falsos profetas.
27 Digo, porém, a vós que me ouvis: Amai os vossos inimigos, fazei o bem aos que vos odeiam,
28 bendizei aos que vos maldizem, orai pelos que vos insultam.
29 Ao que te bate numa face, oferece-lhe também a outra; e ao que te tira a capa, não lhe negues a túnica.
30 Dá a todo o que te pede; e ao que tira o que é teu, não lho reclames.
31 Assim como quereis que vos façam os homens, assim fazei vós também a eles.
32 Se amais aqueles que vos amam, que mereceis? pois também os pecadores amam aos que os amam.
33 Se fizerdes o bem aos que vos fazem o bem, que mereceis? até os pecadores fazem isso.
34 Se emprestardes àqueles de quem esperais receber, que mereceis? até os pecadores emprestam aos pecadores, para receberem outro tanto.
35 Amai, porém, os vossos inimigos, fazei o bem e emprestai, nunca desanimando; será grande a vossa recompensa, e sereis filhos do Altíssimo. Pois ele é benigno para com os ingratos e maus.
36 Sede misericordiosos, como é misericordioso vosso Pai.
37 Não julgueis, e não sereis julgados; não condeneis, e não sereis condenados; perdoai, e sereis perdoados;
38 dai, e dar-se-vos-á; boa medida, recalcada, sacudida, trasbordando, vos porão no regaço; porque a medida de que usais, dessa tornarão a usar convosco.
39 Propôs-lhes também uma parábola: Porventura pode um cego guiar outro cego? não cairão ambos no barranco?
40 O discípulo não é mais que seu mestre; mas todo o discípulo quando for bem instruído, será como seu mestre.
41 Por que vês o argueiro no olho de teu irmão, porém não reparas na trave que está no teu?
42 Como poderás dizer a teu irmão: Deixa, irmão, que eu tire o argueiro do teu olho, não vendo tu mesmo a trave que está no teu? Hipócrita, tira primeiro a trave do teu olho, e então verás claramente para tirar o argueiro que está no olho de teu irmão.
43 Não há árvore boa que dê mau fruto; nem tampouco árvore má que dê bom fruto.
44 Pois cada árvore se conhece pelo seu fruto. Os homens não colhem figos dos espinheiros, nem dos abrolhos vindimam uvas.
45 O homem bom do bom tesouro do seu coração tira o bem, e o homem mau do mau tesouro tira o mal; porque a sua boca fala o de que está cheio o coração.
46 Por que me chamais, Senhor, Senhor, e não fazeis o que vos mando?
47 Todo aquele que vem a mim e ouve as minhas palavras e as observa, eu vos mostrarei a quem é semelhante.
48 É semelhante a um homem que, edificando uma casa, cavou, abriu profunda vala e pôs os alicerces sobre a rocha; e vindo uma enchente, deu a torrente com ímpeto naquela casa, e não a pôde abalar, porque tinha sido bem edificada.
49 Mas aquele que as ouve, e não as observa, é semelhante a um homem que edificou uma casa sobre a terra sem alicerces; na qual a torrente deu com ímpeto, e logo caiu; e foi grande a ruína daquela casa.
1 Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.
2 But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?
3 And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?
5 And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.
6 And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.
8 But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.
9 And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?
10 And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well.
11 But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.
13 And the day came and, turning to his disciples, he made a selection from among them of twelve, to whom he gave the name of Apostles;
14 Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew
15 And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,
16 And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.
17 And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;
18 And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were made well.
19 And all the people were desiring to be touched by him, for power came from him and made them all well.
20 And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.
22 Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.
23 Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.
24 But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now.
25 Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.
26 Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
27 But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,
28 Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.
29 If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.
30 Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.
34 And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.
35 But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.
36 Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.
37 Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:
38 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.
39 And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole?
40 The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master.
41 And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?
42 How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.
43 For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.
44 For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.
45 The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.
46 Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:
48 He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.
49 But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.
