1 [“] Do not judge, that you⁺ may not be judged. VP
2 For in what judgment you⁺ judge, you⁺ will be judged; and in what measure you⁺ measure, it will be measured to you⁺. VP
3 And why do you look at the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother, but not notice [the] beam in your [own] eye? VP
4 Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Permit that I might cast out the splinter from your eye,’ and behold, the beam [is] in your eye? VP
5 Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter from the eye of your brother. VP
6 Do not give what [is] holy to the dogs, nor cast your⁺ pearls before the pigs, lest they will trample them among their feet and, having turned, tear you⁺ to pieces. VP
7 Ask, and it will be given to you⁺; seek, and you⁺ will find; knock, and it will be opened to you⁺. VP
8 For everyone asking receives; and the [one] seeking finds; and to the [one] knocking, it will be opened. VP
9 Or which man is of you⁺ who, [if] his son will ask for bread, will give to him a stone, VP
10 or also, [if] he will ask for a fish, will give to him a serpent? VP
11 Therefore if you⁺, being evil, know to give good gifts to your⁺ children, how much more will your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him! VP
12 All things, therefore, as many as you⁺ may want that men may do to you⁺, so also you⁺ do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. VP
13 Enter through the narrow gate, because wide [is] the gate and broad the way that is leading to destruction, and many are those entering through it. VP
14 For narrow [is] the gate and compressed the way that [is] leading to life, and few are those finding it. VP
15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you⁺ in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. VP
16 From their fruits you⁺ will recognize them. [Do] they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? VP
17 Thus every good tree produces good fruits, but the rotten tree produces evil fruits. VP
18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruits, nor a rotten tree to produce good fruits. VP
19 Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. VP
20 Therefore from their fruits you⁺ will recognize them. VP
21 Not everyone who [is] saying to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the [one] doing the will of My Father who [is] in the heavens. VP
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and [in] Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ VP
23 And then I will profess to them, ‘I never knew you⁺; depart from Me, [you] working lawlessness!’ VP
24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them will be likened to a wise man who built his house on the rock. VP
25 And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. VP
26 And everyone who [is] hearing these words of Mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. VP
27 And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell—and its fall was great!” VP
28 And it came to pass when Jesus finished these words [that] the crowds were astonished at His teaching. VP
29 For He was teaching them as [One] having authority, and not as their scribes. VP
