1 "Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? 4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6 "Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 12 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. 14 How*7:14 TR reads "Because" instead of "How" narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.

15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

21 "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’ 23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

24 "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great."

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

1 Ärge mõistke kohut, et teie üle ei mõistetaks kohut! 2 Sest samamoodi, nagu teie teiste üle kohut mõistate, mõistetakse kohut teiegi üle, ja nõnda nagu teie teistele mõõdate, mõõdetakse teile. 3 Miks sa näed pindu oma venna silmas, aga palki enda silmas ei märka? 4 Või kuidas sa võid oma vennale öelda: „Lase ma tõmban pinnu sinu silmast välja!" ja sul endal on silmas palk? 5 Silmakirjatseja, tõmba esmalt palk oma silmast välja, ja siis sa näed ka pindu oma venna silmast välja tõmmata!

6 Ärge andke koertele seda, mis on püha, ärge heitke oma pärleid sigade ette! Et nad neid ei tallaks jalgade alla ega pöörduks tagasi ja teid tükkideks ei rebiks!

7 Küsige, ja teile antakse; otsige, ja te leiate; koputage uksele, ja teile avatakse! 8 Igaüks, kes palub, see saab; kes otsib, see leiab; ja kes koputab, sellele avatakse.

9 Kas teie seas on kedagi, kes annaks oma pojale kivi, kui poeg palub temalt leiba? 10 Või annaks mao, kui poeg palub temalt kala? 11 Kui nüüd teie, kes te olete kurjad, oskate anda häid ande oma lastele, kui palju enam teie Isa taevas annab häid asju neile, kes teda paluvad! 12 Kõike siis, mida te iganes tahate, et inimesed teile teeksid, tehke ka neile! See ongi Seaduse ja Prohvetite sõnumi sisu.

13 Minge sisse kitsast väravast, sest lai on värav ja avar on tee, mis viib hukatusse, ja palju on neid, kes sealtkaudu lähevad. 14 Kuid väike on värav ja kitsas on tee, mis viib ellu, ja vähe on neid, kes selle leiavad.

15 Hoiduge valeprohvetitest, kes tulevad teie juurde lambanahas, aga tegelikult on nad aplad hundid. 16 Te tunnete nad ära nende viljast. Ei korjata ju viinamarju kibuvitstest ega viigimarju ohakaist? 17 Nii kannab siis iga hea puu head vilja, aga halb puu halba vilja. 18 Hea puu ei saa kanda halba vilja ega halb puu kanda head vilja. 19 Iga puu, mis ei kanna head vilja, raiutakse maha ja visatakse tulle. 20 Seega te tunnete nad ära nende viljast!

21 Mitte igaüks, kes mulle ütleb: „Issand, Issand!", ei saa taevariiki. Saab vaid see, kes teeb mu Isa tahtmist, kes on taevas. 22 Paljud ütlevad mulle sel päeval: „Issand, Issand, kas me ei ole sinu nimel prohveteerinud ega ajanud sinu nimel välja kurje vaime ega teinud sinu nimel palju imesid?" 23 Siis ma tunnistan neile: „Ma ei ole teid kunagi tundnud. Minge ära, te ülekohtutegijad!"

24 Seepärast igaüks, kes neid mu sõnu kuuleb ja nende järgi teeb, on kui arukas mees, kes ehitas oma maja kaljule. 25 Kui sadas paduvihma, tõusid marutuul ja tulvavesi ning langesid selle maja peale, siis see ei varisenud, sest see oli rajatud kaljule. 26 Ent igaüks, kes neid mu sõnu kuuleb, aga nende järgi ei tee, on võrreldav rumala mehega, kes ehitas oma maja liivale. 27 Kui sadas paduvihma, tõusid marutuul ja tulvavesi ning langesid maja peale, siis see varises ja selle häving oli suur."

28 Kui Jeesus need kõned lõpetas, oli rahvas tema õpetusest vapustatud, 29 sest ta õpetas nagu see, kellel on meelevald, aga mitte nagu kirjatundjad.
