Plucking Grain On The Sabbath

1 And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, that he was passing along through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the ears of corn, rubbing them with their hands.

1 (A)Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples (B)were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

1 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.

1 On a Sabbath,(a) He passed through the grainfields.(A) His disciples were picking heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

1 One time Jesus was walking through some grain fields on a Sabbath. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

2 But, certain of the Pharisees, said - Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?

2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what (C)is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

2 Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what isn't lawful on Sabbath days?"

3 And, making answer unto them, Jesus said - Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him -

3 And Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read (D)what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,

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;

3 Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry—

3 Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions became hungry?

4 How he entered into the house of God, and, the presence-bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests?

4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the (a)consecrated bread which (E)is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”

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?

4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the sacred bread, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?(B) He even gave some to those who were with him.”(C)

4 How was it that he went into the house of God, took the Bread of the Presence and ate it, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and then gave some of it to his companions?"

5 And he was saying to them - The Son of Man is, Lord of the Sabbath.

5 And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

5 Then He told them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

5 Then he told them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

A Man With A Withered Hand Healed

6 And it came to pass, on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and was teaching, and there was a man there, and, his right hand, was withered.

6 (F)On another Sabbath He entered (G)the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there (b)whose right hand was withered.

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.

6 On another Sabbath(D) He entered the synagogue and was teaching. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.

6 Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.

7 Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, - that they might find whereof to accuse him.

7 The scribes and the Pharisees (H)were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

7 The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely,(E) to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.(F)

7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.

8 But, he, knew their reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand - Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward.

8 But He (I)knew (c)what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and (d)come forward!” And he got up and (e)came forward.

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.

8 But He knew their thoughts(G) and told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up and stand here.”(b) So he got up and stood there.

8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue." So he got up and stood there.

9 And Jesus said unto them - I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, - life, to save, or, to destroy.

9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”

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?

9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do what is good or to do what is evil, to save life or to destroy it?”(H)

9 Then Jesus asked them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"

10 And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him - Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.

10 After (J)looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored.

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.

10 After looking around at them all,(I) He told him, “Stretch out your hand.”(J) He did so, and his hand was restored.(c)

10 He looked around at all of them and then told the man, "Hold out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored to health.

11 But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.

11 But they themselves were filled with (f)rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

11 They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

11 The others were furious and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.

41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

41 “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but don’t notice the log in your own eye?

The Sermon On The Plain: Trees And Their Fruit

43 For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless tree, produce good fruit.

43 (AS)For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, (z)on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

43 “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit; on the other hand, a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit.(AK)

43 "A good tree doesn't produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn't produce good fruit,

44 For, every tree, by its own fruit, becometh known. For not, of thorns, do they gather figs, neither, of a bramble-bush, do they gather, a bunch of grapes.

44 (AT)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs aren’t gathered from thornbushes, or grapes picked from a bramble bush.

44 because every tree is known by its own fruit. People don't gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush.

45 The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and, the wicked man, out of the wicked heart, bringeth forth that which is wicked; for, out of an overflowing of heart, speaketh, his mouth.

45 (AU)The good man out of the good (aa)treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; (AV)for his mouth speaks from (ab)that which fills his heart.

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

45 A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

45 A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure, because the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart."

46 And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?

46 (AW)Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

46 “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?(AL)

46 "Why do you keep calling me "Lord, Lord,' but don't do what I tell you?

47 Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, whom he is like:

47 (AX)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and (ac)acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them:(AM)

47 I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.

48 He is like unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, - and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.

48 he is like a man building a house, who (ad)dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the (ae)torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep(h) and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built.

48 They are like a person building a house, who dug a deep hole to lay the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house but couldn't shake it, because it had been founded on the rock.

49 But, he that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, - against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.

49 But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the (af)torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great!”(AN)

49 But the person who hears what I say but doesn't act on it is like someone who built a house on the ground without any foundation. When the floodwaters pushed against it, that house quickly collapsed, and the resulting destruction of that house was extensive."
