According to Luke 6: 20-26: Blessings and Woes
20 And he lifted up his eyes to his disciples (and) said, "Happy (are) the poor, because yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Happy (are) those who are hungry now, because you will be filled. Happy (are) those who weep now, because you will laugh. 22 You will be happy when men hate you and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the son of man: 23 rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold your reward (will be) great in heaven: for (it will be) corresponding to the things their fathers did to the prophets.
24 Yet woe to you rich, because you have recieved your comfort in full. 25 Woe to you who are satisfied now, because you will hunger. Woe, (you) who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe when all men speak well of you: for (it is) corresponding to the things their fathers did to the pseudoprophets.

According to Luke 6: 27-36: Love for Enemies
27 But rather I tell you who hear, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who call curses on you, pray about those who mistreat you. 29 To the one who hits you on the cheek, offer also the other, and from he who asks for your cloak do not withhold your tunic also. 30 Give to all who ask from you and do not withhold what (is) yours from the asker.
31 And just as you desire that men may do to you, do likewise to them. 32 And if you love those who love you, what grace is it for you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 For also if you do good to those who do good to you, what grace is it for you? Even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those (from) whom you hope to receive, what grace is it for you? Even sinners lend to sinners so that they might get back their own. 35 However(,) love your enemies and do good and lend expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the most high, because he is kind to the ungracious and evil.
36 Become merciful just as [also] our father is compassionate.

According to Luke 6: 37-42: Judging Others
37 And do not judge, and you will certainly not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will certainly not be condemned. Destroy, and you will be destroyed; 38 give, and it will be given to you: a good measure pressed down(,) shaken(,) overflowing will be given into your lap; for with the measure you measure it will be measured in return to you." 39 But he also told them a parable: "If a blind man can guide a blind man, won't both fall into a pit? 40 A student is not above his teacher; but being made perfect everyone will be like his teacher.
41 But why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but ignore the beam in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck in your eye,' (when) you yourself do not see the beam in your eye? Hypocrite, first remove the beam form your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck in your brother's eye.

According to Luke 6: 43-45: A Tree Known by Its Fruit
43 "For there is no good tree producing rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree producing good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit: for figs are not gathered* from thorns nor are grapes picked* from bushes. 45 A good man brings forth good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil man brings forth evil from the evil (in his heart): for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

According to Luke 6: 46-49: The Two Foundations
46 "But why do you call me, 'Lord(,) lord,' and do not do what I say? 47 Each who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house who dug and deepened and put a foundation on the rock: and when the flood came the river burst upon that house, and was unable to move it because it was well built. 49 But he who hears and does not do is like a man building a house on ground without foundation, on which the river burst, and immediately it fell and the ruin of that house was great."

According to Luke 7: 1-10: The Healing of a Centurion's Servant
1 Since all his words were fulfilled in the hearing of the nation, he went into Capernaum.
2 And a certain slave of a centurion being sick* was about to die, who was esteemed by him. 3 But when he heard about Jesus he sent elders of Judea to him asking him so that coming he might rescue his slave. 4 And coming to Jesus they begged him earnestly saying, "The one who will offer this is worthy: 5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us." 6 And Jesus went with them: but now when he was not far from the house the centurion sent friends saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble (yourself) for I am not worthy that you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I do not consider myself worthy for you to enter: but say a word and let my servant be healed. 8 For I also am a man under authority, having obedient soldiers under myself, and I say to one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to another, 'Go,' and he goes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does." 9 And hearing these (things) Jesus was amazed at him and turning to the crowd following him said, "I tell you, not in Israel did I find such faith." 10 And returning to the house the messengers found the slave in good health.

According to Luke 7: 11-17: The Raising of the Widow's Son at Nain 11 And it happened soon afterwards (that) he went into the city called Nain and his disciples went with him and a great crowd. 12 But as he approached the gate of the city, and behold the only son born to his mother was carried out dead for burial(,) and she was a widow, and a large crowd of the city was with her. 13 And seeing her the lord had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." 14 And coming near he touched the bier, and they stood lifting (it), and he said, "Young man, I tell you, get up." 15 And the dead (man) sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother. 16 But fear seized all and they praised God saing that 'A great prophet has risen up among us because God even tends to his nation.' 17 And this word went out into all Judea and all the surrounding region about him.

According to Luke 7: 18-35: The Messengers from John the Baptist
18 And his disciples informed John about all these (things). And summoning a certain two of his disciples John 19 sent (them) to the lord saying, "Are you the one who is coming or will do we wait for another?" 20 And arriving near him the man said, "John the Baptist sent us saying to you, 'Are you the one who is coming or do we wait for another?' " 21 On that day he was healing many from sicknesses and diseases and evil spirits and granted sight to many blind (men). 22 And answering he said to them, "Go (and) tell John what you saw and heard: blind (men) recieve sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and deaf (men) hear, the dead are raised, the poor are told the good news: 23 and happy is he who does not desert me."
24 And when John's messengers departed he began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?* 25 But what did you go to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Behold those in fine clothing and luxury are in the palaces. 26 But what did you go to see? A prophet? Indeed I tell you, even more than a prophet. 27 This is he about whom it is written, Behold I send my messenger before your face who prepares your path before you. 28 I tell you, no one among these born of women is greater than John the Baptist: but the least in God's kingdom is greater than he." 29 And all the nation heard and tax collectors were put into a right relationship with God(,) being baptied (with) the baptism of John: 30 but the Pharisees and experts in the law set aside the will of God in themselves(,) not being baptized by him. 31 "Therefore why will I be like the men of this generation and what will they be like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and addressing each other who say, 'we played the flute for you and you did not dance, we sang a dirge and you did not weep.' 33 For John the Baptist came not eating bread nor drinking wine and you say, 'He has a demon.' 34 The son of man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold a gluttonous (man) and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. 35 And wisdom is justified away from all her children."

According to Luke 7: 36-50: A Sinful Woman Forgiven
36 And a certain (one) of the Pharisees asked him so that he might eat with him, and entering the Pharisee's house he reclined. 37 And behold a woman who was in the city (was) a sinner, and knowing that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, taking an alabaster jar of ointment 38 and standing behind (him) at his feet (and) weeping with tears she began to wet his feet and with the hairs of her head she dried and kissed his feet and oiled (them) with the ointment. 39 But seeing (this,) the Pharisee who called him spoke in himself saying, "If this was a prophet, he would know what and what kind of woman who is touching him, because she is a sinner." 40 And answering Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." And, "Teacher, tell," he declared. 41 "Two debtors were borrowing (from) someone: one owed 500 denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When both were not able to repay they were pardoned. So which of them will love him more?" 43 Answering Simon said, "I suppose the (one) to whom more was forgiven." And he said to him, "You judged correctly." 44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house, you did not give me water on (my) feet; but this (woman) wasred my feet with tears and dried (them) with her hairs. 45 You did not give me a kiss; but from her entrance this (woman) did not stop kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil; but this (woman) oiled my feet with ointment. 47 Of which I tell you for (her) sake, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, he loves little." 48 And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 And the guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you: go in* peace."

1 And it happened afterward that he was traveling through each city and village preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God and the twelve (were) with him. 2 And (there were) some women who were healed from evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons were thrown out, 3 and Joanna wife of Chuza(,) the steward of Herod(,) and Susanna and many others, who served them from their posessions.

4 And when a great crowd was present and those in the city came to him he spoke through a parable, 5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. And when he was sowing indeed some fell beside the road and was trampled, and the birds of heaven devoured it. 6 And other (seed) fell on rock, and growing up it was withered through not having moistures. 7 And other (seed) fell among thorns, and growing up with (it) the thorns choked it. 8 And other (seed) fell in good earth and growing up produced fruit a hundredfold." Saying these (things) he shouted, "He who has ears to hear must hear."

11 But this is the parable: The sower is the word of God. 12 And those beside the road are the hearers, then the devil comes and takes the word from their hearts, lest believing they be saved. 13 And those on the rock (are) those who receive the word with joy when they hear (it), and these do not have root, who believe for a season and in the season of testing desert (it). 14 And what is fallen on the thorns, these are those who hear, and by worries and wealth and pleasures of life (they) go (and) are strangled and do not produce mature fruit. 15 But that on the good earth, these are those who hear the word in a beautiful and good heart (and) hold fast and produce fruit in patient endurance.
