Matthew 7-8 (Darby Translation)

Matthew 7

 ¹Judge not, that ye may not be judged;

 ²for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.

 ³But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye?

 ⁴Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?

 ⁵Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.

 ⁶Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.

 ⁷Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

 ⁸For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

 ⁹Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;

 ¹⁰and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?

 ¹¹If therefore *ye*, being wicked, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?

 ¹²Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

 ¹³Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.

 ¹⁴For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.

 ¹⁵But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.

 ¹⁶By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?

 ¹⁷So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.

 ¹⁸A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.

 ¹⁹Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

 ²⁰By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

 ²¹Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

 ²²Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of power?

 ²³and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.

 ²⁴Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

 ²⁵and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

 ²⁶And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

 ²⁷and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.

 ²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,

 ²⁹for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.

Matthew 8

 ¹And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

 ²And behold, a leper came up to [him] and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

 ³And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

 ⁴And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

 ⁵And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

 ⁶and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.

 ⁷And Jesus says to him, *I* will come and heal him.

 ⁸And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed.

 ⁹For *I* also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

 ¹⁰And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

 ¹¹But I say unto you, that many shall come from [the] rising and setting [sun], and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;

 ¹²but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

 ¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

 ¹⁴And when Jesus had come to Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law laid down and in a fever;

 ¹⁵and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and served him.

 ¹⁶And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill;

 ¹⁷so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.

 ¹⁸And Jesus, seeing great crowds around him, commanded to depart to the other side.

 ¹⁹And a scribe came up and said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go.

 ²⁰And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

 ²¹But another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go away and bury my father.

 ²²But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

 ²³And he went on board ship and his disciples followed him;

 ²⁴and behold, [the water] became very agitated on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but *he* slept.

 ²⁵And the disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord save: we perish.

 ²⁶And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

 ²⁷But the men were astonished, saying, What sort [of man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

 ²⁸And there met him, when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding dangerous, so that no one was able to pass by that way.

 ²⁹And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Son of God? hast thou come here before the time to torment us?

 ³⁰Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding;

 ³¹and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.

 ³²And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd [of swine] rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters.

 ³³But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons.

 ³⁴And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged [him] to go away out of their coasts.
