The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 49: Luke: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Luke
6:37. Judge not: and you shall not be judged. Condemn not: and you shall
not be condemned. Forgive: and you shall be forgiven.
6:38. Give: and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down
and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be
measured to you again.
6:39. And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the
blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch?
6:40. The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be
perfect, if he be as his master.
6:41. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam
that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?
6:42. Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the
mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own
eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye: and then shalt
thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.
6:43. For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit: nor an
evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
6:44. For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs
from thorns: nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.
6:45. 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 bringeth
forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
6:46. And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I
say?
6:47. Every one that cometh to me and heareth my words and doth them, I
will shew you to whom he is like.
6:48. He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep and laid the
foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat
vehemently upon that house: and it could not shake it: for it was
founded on a rock.
6:49. But he that heareth and doth not is like to a man building his
house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat
vehemently. And immediately it fell: and the ruin of that house was
great.
Luke Chapter 7
Christ heals the centurion's servant. He raises the widow's son to life,
answers the messengers sent by John and absolves the penitent sinner.
7:1. And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the
people, he entered into Capharnaum.
7:2. And the servant of a certain centurion who was dear to him, being
sick, was ready to die.
7:3. And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of
the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
7:4. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to
him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
7:5. For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue.
7:6. And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the
house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not
thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.
