^{1 Ref} Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged.

^{2 Ref} For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

^{3 Ref} And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

⁴ Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

^{5 Ref} You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

^{6 Ref} Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

^{7 Ref} Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

^{8 Ref} Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

^{9 Ref} Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

¹⁰ Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake?

^{11 Ref} If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

^{12 Ref} All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

^{13 Ref} Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

^{14 Ref} For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

^{15 Ref} Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

^{16 Ref} By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

^{17 Ref} Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

^{18 Ref} It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

^{19 Ref} Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.

^{20 Ref} So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

^{21 Ref} Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

^{22 Ref} A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

^{23 Ref} And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

^{24 Ref} Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

^{25 Ref} And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

^{26 Ref} And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

^{27 Ref} And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

^{28 Ref} And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

^{29 Ref} for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

^{1 Ref} `Judge not, that ye may not be judged,

^{2 Ref} for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.

^{3 Ref} `And why dost thou behold the mote that `is' in thy brother's eye, and the beam that `is' in thine own eye dost not consider?

⁴ or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam `is' in thine own eye?

^{5 Ref} Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

^{6 Ref} `Ye may not give that which is `holy' to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you.

^{7 Ref} `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

^{8 Ref} for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

^{9 Ref} `Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf -- a stone will he present to him?

¹⁰ and if a fish he may ask -- a serpent will he present to him?

^{11 Ref} if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who `is' in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

^{12 Ref} `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

^{13 Ref} `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide `is' the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

^{14 Ref} how strait `is' the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

^{15 Ref} `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

^{16 Ref} From their fruits ye shall know them; do `men' gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?

^{17 Ref} so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

^{18 Ref} A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.

^{19 Ref} Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:

^{20 Ref} therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

^{21 Ref} `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

^{22 Ref} Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

^{23 Ref} and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.

^{24 Ref} `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

^{25 Ref} and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

^{26 Ref} `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

^{27 Ref} and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'

^{28 Ref} And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

^{29 Ref} for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

^{1 Ref} "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.

^{2 Ref} For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

^{3 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} "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 Ref} "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

^{8 Ref} For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

^{14 Ref} How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

^{15 Ref} "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

^{16 Ref} By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

^{17 Ref} Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

^{18 Ref} A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

^{19 Ref} Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

^{20 Ref} Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

^{21 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

^{24 Ref} "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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

^{28 Ref} It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

^{29 Ref} for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
