Luke Chapter 6

 Luke 6

Children of Adam are the Managers of their own REST and sabbath in the law is for man and not man for the sabbath. 

1 Moreover, it happens to be on a second to the foremost Sabbath after the Passover (the first after the paschal week), as He is passing through a corn-fields; His disciples are plucking, and eating grains standing out from the stalk, rubbing (the kernel out from the husk) by their hands, 

2 some Pharisees say, howbeit, why doing what is not lawful on Sabbath?

3 And Jesus answers and says toward them, you have not even read this thing, which, David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry;

4 how he entered into the house of God, and got hold of loaves of show-bread, ate, and gave those who are together with him, which is not lawful to eat, except only the priest?

5 And He tells them, the Sabbath of the Supreme Lord is for the sons of Adam. (Matt 12 ,Mk 2)

Jesus tests the Pharisees with questions to prove that sabbath day of God is for doing good things

6 Moreover, it happens to be on another Sabbath, as He enters into the synagogue and teaches, a man has been there, whom his right hand has withered.

7 So, the Scribes and the Pharisees are watching Him closely, if He will minister healing on the Sabbath, at least, they can find an offence against Him. 

8 He however knows their thoughts, and so, He tells the fellow-man who has a withered-hand, arise, and stand in the middle, and He arises and stands by.

9 then, Jesus says to them, I will ask you, if it is lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath? To save or fully destroy soul?

10 And He looks around to all of them and tells him, stretch out your hand. So, he did likewise, and his hand was restored again (healthy as the other).

11 So, they were filled with annoyance, and consult towards one another, what to possibly do to Jesus.

Jesus usually prays alone 

12 Moreover it happens to be in those days, He will proceed forth unto the mountain to make prayer, and He will be sitting up all night in oratory prayer to God.

Jesus appointed twelve Apostles

13 And it happens to be a day at which, He summons His disciples, and select twelve out of them, whom even He named Apostle (the Sent).

14 So, He assigns name Peter (Petrus; rock) to Simon, and Andrew (manly) his brother; and Jacob (James) and John; and Phillip (fond of horses) and Bartholomew;

15 And Mathew and Thomas (twin); and James, son of Alphaeus; and Simon called zealous (of Jewish independence);

16 and Judah, son of James; and Judah Iscariot (keriothite), who become the betrayer (traitor).

Jesus heals all the sick people (excerpt from Matthew 8:1, after sermon on the mountain) 

17 And He descends down to their midst and stands upon a level place, and many company of His disciples, and many multitude of people from all Judea, and Jerusalem and beside the salt sea of Tyre, and Sidon, - 

- who came to hear Him, were healed from their diseases. 

18 And those harassed under unclean-spirits are ministered healing to.

19 And all the crowd seek to touch Him; because, Power proceeds forth from Him and heal everybody.

Excerpt from sermon on the mountain in Mathew 5-7

Jesus declares categories of people that are supremely blessed. 

20 And He raises up His eyes unto His students (company of disciples), and says, Supremely blessed are the poor, because, the Kingdom of God is yours.

21 supremely blessed are those who are hungry, for they will be satisfied. Supremely blessed are those weeping now, for they will laugh.

22 Supremely blessed are you when men hate you, when they excommunicate you, insult and cast you out as evil-men, on account of the Name of the Son.

23 cheer up and exult for joy in that day; for their fathers did the same things against the prophets. Behold, your wages will be much in heaven. 

Jesus felt sorry for some categories of people 

24 Nevertheless, Alas to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort in full.

25 Alas to you who are satisfied now, for you will famish. Alas to those laughing now, for they will mourn and weep.

26 oh no! For false-speakers/prophet will speak against you all. It was the same thing with their fathers whenever men did well.

Agape-Love explained by Jesus 

27 I will speak, on the contrary, for you to hear: selflessly-Love (agapao) your enemies, do well to those who hate you,

28 Bless/speak well to those who curse you, make prayer concerning those who threaten you.

29 upon smiting your cheek, even offer the other; and the one who takes away clothes from you, even do not forbid him the shirts (check Mathew 5:39-41 for the context) (Jesus only teaches a wisdom that turns the guilty into the innocent)

30 So, give to all people that ask from you; and the one that take your things, do not demand back;

31 And just as you want men to do things for you, at least do things for them likewise.

32 Even, if you Love those who Love you, what is GRACE to you? For, even the sinners love those who love them.

33 and, if you do good to those who do good to you, of what (weight) is Grace to you? For even sinners do the same.

34 And in case you lend, from whom you expect to take interest back, of what (value) is Grace to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, at least to receive equal amount.

35 Nevertheless, Love your enemies, and do good. Lend, and never expect in return; and your rewards will be very much and you will be sons of The HIGHEST; for HE is gracious upon the ungrateful (non-gracious) and evil ones.

Judge with mercy, what you sow, you will reap

36 So, become Merciful, as your FATHER is merciful.

37 And do not judge, so you will not be judged; and never condemn so you will not be condemned. Forgive/free fully, so you will be freed fully.

38 Give and you will be given; give a pressed down, a shaken together and an over-flowing measures of virtuous things unto the one of your bosom. For by what measure you measure with, will be measured again to you.

Parable of the choice of a Right leader and teachable followers

39 Moreover, He speaks even in parable to them, is it ever possible for a blind, to guide a blind? Will both not fall into a ditch?

40 a disciple is not above his teacher; but all who are fully trained (fit, framed, mended and perfect) will be like their teacher.

41 so, why looking at the straw in the eye of your brother, and not thoroughly consider the beam in your own eye?

42 How is it possible to tell your brother; to be permitted to bring out the straw in your brother's eye, and you are not looking at the beam in your eye? You Hypocrite (stage player), first of all, bring out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to bring out the straw in your brother's eye.

A Tree determines the fruit

43 No doubt, no virtuous tree is producing corrupt fruits; again not even a corrupt tree, will produce virtuous fruits;

44 for, each tree is known from its own fruit. For, you will not collect thorns out of fig-tree and (you) will not gather ripe grapes from brier-shrubs. 

45 The good man, from the good treasure of his heart, will bring forth good things; and an evil man, out of the evil (treasure) will produce evil things. No doubt, their mouth will preach, out of the abundance of their hearts.

Jesus warned against disloyalty in Faith unto Him or building upon a shaking foundation. 

46 Moreover, why calling Me Lord, but not doing what the Lord says?

47 All who have come towards Me, and hear My words, and do them, I will show you, whom they are like;

48 they are like men, who dig deep to build a house, and lay foundation upon the rock; so, as flood come into being, river burst upon the house, but can not shake it, because it is well built and founded on rock.

49 However, those who hear, and are not doing it, are like men who build a house upon soil and without foundation; which when river burst upon it, it immediately fall down, and great is the ruins that will happen to that house.
