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 Torah 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 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 a 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 Yeshua 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 Judge not, that you be not judged;2 for as you judge, you shall be judged; and the measure which you give, the same you shall receive.3 And why do you observe the mote in your brother's eye, but you are insensible of the splinter in your own eye?4 Or how dare you say to your brother, let me take the mote out of your eye; when lo! you have a splinter in your own?5 Hypocrite, first take the splinter out of your own eye; then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's eye.6 Give not things holy to dogs, and cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot, and turn upon you, and tear you apart.7 Ask, and you shall obtain; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.8 For whosoever asks, obtains; whosoever seeks, finds; and to every one who knocks, the door shall be opened.9 Who of you men would give his son a stone, when he asks bread;10 or a serpent, when he asks a fish?11 If you then, though evil, can give good things to your children, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?12 Whatever you would that others do to you, do you the same to them; for this is the law and the prophets.13 Enter in through the strait gate; for wide is the gate of perdition, broad is its way leading thither; and many are they who enter by it.14 But how strait is the gate of life; how narrow the way leading thither; and how few are they who find it!15 Beware of false teachers, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves.16 By their fruits you shall discover them. Are grapes gathered from thorns; or figs from thistles?17 Every good tree yields good fruit, and every evil tree evil fruit.18 A good tree can not yield evil fruit, nor an evil tree good fruit.19 Every tree which yields not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel.20 Wherefore, by their fruits you shall discover them.21 Not every one who says to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven.22 Many will say to me on that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name, and in thy name performed many miracles?23 To whom I will declare, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, you who practice iniquity.24 Therefore, whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them, I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.25 For although the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not, because it was founded upon the rock.26 But whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them not, shall be compared to a simpleton, who built his house upon the sand.27 For when the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, it fell, and great was its ruin.28 When Jesus had ended this discourse, the people were struck with awe at his manner of teaching;29 for he taught as one who had authority, and not as the Scribes.
