The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 49: Luke: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Luke
6:12. And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a
mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.
6:13. And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples: and he
chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles):
6:14. Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and
John, Philip and Bartholomew,
6:15. Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is
called Zelotes,
6:16. And Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the
traitor.
6:17. And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place: and the
company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all
Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon,
6:18. Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And
they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
6:19. And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out
from him and healed all.
6:20. And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye
poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
6:21. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed
are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.
6:22. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for
the Son of man's sake.
6:23. Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great
in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the
prophets.
6:24. But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation.
6:25. Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that
now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep.
6:26. Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things
did their fathers to the false prophets.
6:27. But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them
that hate you.
6:28. Bless them that curse you and pray for them that calumniate you.
6:29. And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the
other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take
thy coat also.
6:30. Give to every one that asketh thee: and of him that taketh away
thy goods, ask them not again.
6:31. And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in
like manner.
6:32. And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? For
sinners also love those that love them.
6:33. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to
you? For sinners also do this.
6:34. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks
are to you? For sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much.
6:35. But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of
the Highest. For he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
6:36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
