LUKE 6

Activities on the Sabbath

1One Sabbath, as Jesus was going through the wheat fields, his disciples were picking the heads of wheat, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. 2Some Pharisees said, “Why are you breaking the Sabbath law?”

3Jesus replied, “Haven’t you read what David and his companions did when they were hungry? 4He broke the Law by going into God’s house and eating the bread of the presence, which only the priests can eat. He also gave some of the bread to his companions.” 5Then he said to them, “The Human Oneis Lord of the Sabbath.”

6On another Sabbath, Jesus entered a synagogue to teach. A man was there whose right hand was withered. 7The legal experts and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They were looking for a reason to bring charges against him. 8Jesus knew their thoughts, so he said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” He got up and stood there. 9Jesus said to the legal experts and Pharisees, “Here’s a question for you: Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” 10Looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he did and his hand was made healthy. 11They were furious and began talking with each other about what to do to Jesus.

Jesus chooses apostles

12During that time, Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night long. 13At daybreak, he called together his disciples. He chose twelve of them whom he called apostles: 14Simon, whom he named Peter; his brother Andrew; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew; 15Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called a zealot; 16Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Jesus’ popularity increases

17Jesus came down from the mountain with them and stood on a large area of level ground. A great company of his disciples and a huge crowd of people from all around Judea and Jerusalem and the area around Tyre and Sidon joined him there. 18They came to hear him and to be healed from their diseases, and those bothered by unclean spirits were healed. 19The whole crowd wanted to touch him, because power was going out from him and he was healing everyone.

Happy people and doomed people

20Jesus raised his eyes to his disciples and said:

“Happy are you who are poor,

because God’s kingdom is yours.

21 Happy are you who hunger now,

because you will be satisfied.

Happy are you who weep now,

because you will laugh.

22 Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and condemn your name as evil because of the Human One. 23Rejoice when that happens! Leap for joy because you have a great reward in heaven. Their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.

24 But how terrible for you who are rich,

because you have already received your comfort.

25 How terrible for you who have plenty now,

because you will be hungry.

How terrible for you who laugh now,

because you will mourn and weep.

26 How terrible for you when all speak well of you.

Their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.

Behaving as God’s children

27 “But I say to you who are willing to hear: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone slaps you on the cheek, offer the other one as well. If someone takes your coat, don’t withhold your shirt either. 30Give to everyone who asks and don’t demand your things back from those who take them. 31Treat people in the same way that you want them to treat you.

32 “If you love those who love you, why should you be commended? Even sinners love those who love them. 33If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you be commended? Even sinners do that. 34If you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, why should you be commended? Even sinners lend to sinners expecting to be paid back in full. 35Instead, love your enemies, do good, and lend expecting nothing in return. If you do, you will have a great reward. You will be acting the way children of the Most High act, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people. 36Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

37“Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good portion—packed down, firmly shaken, and overflowing—will fall into your lap. The portion you give will determine the portion you receive in return.”

Avoiding self-deception

39Jesus also told them a riddle. “A blind person can’t lead another blind person, right? Won’t they both fall into a ditch? 40Disciples aren’t greater than their teacher, but whoever is fully prepared will be like their teacher. 41Why do you see the splinter in your brother’s or sister’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother or sister, ‘Brother, Sister, let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ when you don’t see the log in your own eye? You deceive yourselves! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s or sister’s eye.

43 “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit, nor does a bad tree produce good fruit. 44Each tree is known by its own fruit. People don’t gather figs from thorny plants, nor do they pick grapes from prickly bushes. 45A good person produces good from the good treasury of the inner self, while an evil person produces evil from the evil treasury of the inner self. The inner self overflows with words that are spoken.

46“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and don’t do what I say? 47I’ll show what it’s like when someone comes to me, hears my words, and puts them into practice. 48It’s like a person building a house by digging deep and laying the foundation on bedrock. When the flood came, the rising water smashed against that house, but the water couldn’t shake the house because it was well built. 49But those who don’t put into practice what they hear are like a person who built a house without a foundation. The floodwater smashed against it and it collapsed instantly. It was completely destroyed.”

LUKE 7

A servant is healed

1After Jesus finished presenting all his words among the people, he entered Capernaum. 2A centurion had a servant who was very important to him, but the servant was ill and about to die. 3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Jesus to ask him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with Jesus. “He deserves to have you do this for him,” they said. 5“He loves our people and he built our synagogue for us.”

6Jesus went with them. He had almost reached the house when the centurion sent friends to say to Jesus, “Lord, don’t be bothered. I don’t deserve to have you come under my roof. 7In fact, I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say the word and my servant will be healed. 8I’m also a man appointed under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and the servant does it.”

9When Jesus heard these words, he was impressed with the centurion. He turned to the crowd following him and said, “I tell you, even in Israel I haven’t found faith like this.” 10When the centurion’s friends returned to his house, they found the servant restored to health.

Jesus raises a widow’s son

11A little later Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd traveled with him. 12As he approached the city gate, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. 13When he saw her, the Lord had compassion for her and said, “Don’t cry.” 14He stepped forward and touched the stretcher on which the dead man was being carried. Those carrying him stood still. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up.” 15The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

16Awestruck, everyone praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” 17This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding region.

John the Baptist and Jesus

18John’s disciples informed him about all these things. John called two of his disciples 19and sent them to the Lord. They were to ask him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?”

20When they reached Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you. He asks, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’”

21Right then, Jesus healed many of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to a number of blind people. 22Then he replied to John’s disciples, “Go, report to John what you have seen and heard.Those who were blind are able to see. Those who were crippled now walk. People with skin diseases are cleansed.Those who were deaf now hear. Those who were dead are raised up. And good news is preached to the poor. 23Happy is anyone who doesn’t stumble along the way because of me.”

24After John’s messengers were gone, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A stalk blowing in the wind? 25What did you go out to see? A man dressed up in refined clothes? Look, those who dress in fashionable clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27He is the one of whom it’s written:Look, I’m sending my messenger before you, who will prepare your way before you. 28I tell you that no greater human being has ever been born than John. Yet whoever is least in God’s kingdom is greater than he.” 29Everyone who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice because they had been baptized by John. 30But the Pharisees and legal experts rejected God’s will for themselves because they hadn’t been baptized by John.

31“To what will I compare the people of this generation?” Jesus asked. “What are they like? 32They are like children sitting in the marketplace calling out to each other, ‘We played the flute for you and you didn’t dance. We sang a funeral song and you didn’t cry.’ 33John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34Yet the Human Onecame eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ 35But wisdom is proved to be right by all her descendants.”

Forgiveness and gratitude

36One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. After he entered the Pharisee’s home, he took his place at the table. 37Meanwhile, a woman from the city, a sinner, discovered that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee’s house. She brought perfumed oil in a vase made of alabaster. 38Standing behind him at his feet and crying, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured the oil on them. 39When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw what was happening, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. He would know that she is a sinner.

40Jesus replied, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

“Teacher, speak,” he said.

41“A certain lender had two debtors. One owed enough money to pay five hundred people for a day’s work.The other owed enough money for fifty. 42When they couldn’t pay, the lender forgave the debts of them both. Which of them will love him more?”

43Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled.”

Jesus said, “You have judged correctly.”

44Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your home, you didn’t give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in. 46You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has poured perfumed oil on my feet. 47This is why I tell you that her many sins have been forgiven; so she has shown great love. The one who is forgiven little loves little.”

48Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49The other table guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this person that even forgives sins?”

50Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Amen.
