“WEES BARMHARTIG SOOS JULLE VADER BARMHARTIG IS:”

  1. “Maar vir julle wat na My luister, sê Ek: Julle moet julle vyande liefhê, doen goed aan die mense deur wie julle gehaat word,
  2. “seën die mense deur wie julle vervloek word, bid vir die mense deur wie julle sleg behandel word. 
  3. “As iemand jou op die een wang slaan, bied hom ook die ander een aan. En vir iemand wat jou boklere vat, moet jy ook jou onderklere nie weier nie. 
  4. “Aan elkeen wat iets vra, moet jy gee; en as iemand jou goed vat, moet jy dit nie terugeis nie. 
  5. “Behandel ander mense soos julleself behandel wil word. 
  6. “As julle net dié liefhet wat julle liefhet, watter aanspraak op dank het julle dan nog? Ook die sondaars het net dié lief wat vir hulle liefhet. 
  7. “En as julle goed doen net aan dié wat aan julle goed doen, watter aanspraak op dank het julle dan nog? Die sondaars maak maar net so. 
  8. “En as julle geld leen net aan dié van wie julle hoop om dit terug te kry, watter aanspraak op dank het julle dan nog? Sondaars leen ook aan sondaars, solank hulle maar dieselfde bedrag kan terugkry.  
  9. “Nee, sonder om iets terug te verwag, moet julle, julle vyande liefhê, en goed doen en uitleen. Dan sal daar vir julle ‘n groot beloning wees; julle sal kinders van die Allerhoogste wees, omdat Hyself goed is vir die ondankbares en slegtes. 
  10. “Wees barmhartig soos julle Vader barmhartig is.”

Saterdag 1 Februarie 2025.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Lukas 6:1-11) 

DIE SEUN VAN DIE MENS IS HERE OOR DIE SABBAT: 

  1. Eenkeer het Jesus op ‘n Sabbatdag deur die gesaaides geloop. Sy dissipels het are gepluk, en dit met die hande uitgevrywe, en geëet. 
  2. Toe sê ‘n paar van die Fariseërs: ‘Waarom doen julle iets wat op die Sabbatdag nie gedoen behoort te word nie!’
  3. Jesus het hulle daarop geantwoord: “Het julle dan nie gelees wat Dawid gedoen het, toe hy en sy manne honger gekry het nie? 
  4. “Hy het die huis van God binne gegaan, en van die Offerbrode geneem en geëet, en ook aan die manne gegee het, wat saam met hom was. Tog is niemand behalwe die priesters toegelaat om daardie brood te eet nie.”
  5. Verder sê Hy vir hulle: “Die Seun van die mens is Here oor die Sabbat.” 
  6. Op ‘n ander Sabbatdag het Jesus weer in die sinagoge gegaan en die mense geleer. Daar was ‘n man met ‘n gebreklike regterhand. 
  7. Die skrifgeleerdes en die Fariseërs het vir Jesus dopgehou, om te sien of Hy op ‘n Sabbatdag iemand sou genees, sodat hulle ‘n aanklag teen Hom kon kry. 
  8. Maar Hy het hulle gedagtes geken, en vir die man met die gebreklike hand gesê: “Staan op en kom staan hier in die middel.” En die man het daar kom staan. 
  9. Toe sê Jesus vir hulle: “Nou vra Ek julle: Mag ‘n mens op die Sabbatdag goed doen, of kwaad, iemand red, of doodmaak?”
  10. Nadat Hy almal rondom Hom aangekyk het, sê Hy vir die man: “Steek jou hand uit.” 
  11. Die man het dit gedoen, en sy hand was gesond. Maar hulle het rasend van woede geword, en onder mekaar geredeneer oor wat hulle Jesus sou aandoen.

(Luke 6:1-11)

THE SON OF MAN IS LORD OF THE SABBATH:

  1. On a Sabbath, while He was going through the grain-fields, His disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 
  2. But some of the Pharisees said: ‘Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?’ 
  3. And Jesus answered them: “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him?
  4. “How he entered the House of God, and took and ate the Bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and gave to those with him?”
  5. And Jesus said to them: “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
  6. On another Sabbath, He entered the synagogue, and was teaching. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. 
  7. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched Him, to see whether He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse Him. 
  8. But He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand: “Come and stand here.” And the man rose and stood there. 
  9. And Jesus said to them: “I ask you: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?” 
  10. And after looking around at them all, He said to the man: “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 
  11. But they were filled with fury, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
