eye?
5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly
to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they
trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened.
9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to
them that ask him?
12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
is
the gate, and broad
is
the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14
Because strait
is
the gate, and narrow
is
the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
17
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit.
18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
can
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20
Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.
21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done
many wonderful works?
23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
24
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a
wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26
And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the sand:
27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28
And it came
to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29
For he
taught them as
one
having authority, and not as the scribes.
