1Do not judge, that you may not be judged. 2For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves be judged, and the measure that you mete will be meted out to you. 3And why do you look at the straw in your brother's eye, while you pay no attention at all to the beam in yours? 4How will you say to your brother 'Let me take out the straw from your eye,' when all the time there is a beam in your own? 5Hypocrite! Take out the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the straw from your brother's. 6Do not give what is sacred to dogs; nor yet throw your pearls before pigs, lest they should trample them under their feet, and then turn and attack you.¶ 7Ask, and your prayer shall be granted; search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. 8For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened. 9Who among you, when his son asks him for a loaf, will give him a stone, 10Or when he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those that ask him!¶ 12Do to others whatever you would wish them to do to you; for that is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets. 13Go in by the small gate. Broad and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and those that go in by it are many; 14For small is the gate, and narrow the road, that leads to Life, and those that find it are few.¶ 15Beware of false Teachers--men who come to you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they are ravenous wolves. 16By the fruit of their lives you will know them. Do people gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17So, too, every sound tree bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit. 18A sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit. 19Every tree that fails to bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Hence it is by the fruit of their lives that you will know such men.¶ 21Not every one who says to me 'Master! Master!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven. 22On 'That Day' many will say to me 'Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?' 23And then I shall say to them plainly 'I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.' 24Everyone, therefore, that listens to this teaching of mine and acts upon it may be compared to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock. 25The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, for its foundations were upon the rock. 26And every one that listens to this teaching of mine and does not act upon it may be compared to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. 27The rain poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and struck against that house, and it fell; and great was its downfall." 28By the time that Jesus had finished speaking, the crowd was filled with amazement at his teaching. 29For he taught them like one who had authority, and not like their Teachers of the Law.¶
