Luke 6:20-42

Common English Bible CEB

20 Jesus 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.

23 Rejoice 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.

27 “But I say to you who are willing to hear: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.

28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.

29 If someone slaps you on the cheek, offer the other one as well. If someone takes your coat, don't withhold your shirt either.

30 Give to everyone who asks and don't demand your things back from those who take them.

31 Treat 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.

33 If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you be commended? Even sinners do that.

34 If 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.

35 Instead, 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.

36 Be 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.

38 Give, 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."

39 Jesus also told them a riddle. "A blind person can't lead another blind person, right? Won't they both fall into a ditch?

40 Disciples aren't greater than their teacher, but whoever is fully prepared will be like their teacher.

41 Why do you see the splinter in your brother's or sister's eye but don't notice the log in your own eye?

42 How 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.

31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

39 He also told them a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?

41 Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?

42 Or how can you say to your neighbor, "Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.
