El juicio hacia los demás

»(A) No juzguen para que no sean juzgados. Porque con el juicio con que ustedes juzguen, serán juzgados; y con la medida con que midan, se les medirá(B).

»¿Por qué miras la mota[a] que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no te das cuenta de la viga que está en tu propio ojo(C) ? ¿O cómo puedes decir[b]a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la mota del ojo”, cuando la viga está en tu ojo(D)? ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces verás con claridad para sacar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.

»No den lo santo a los perros(E) , ni echen sus perlas delante de los cerdos, no sea que las huellen con sus patas, y volviéndose los despedacen a ustedes.

La oración recibirá respuesta

»(F) Pidan, y se les dará(G) ; busquen, y hallarán; llamen[c] , y se les abrirá. Porque todo el que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se le abrirá. ¿O qué hombre hay entre ustedes que si su hijo le pide pan, le[d]dará una piedra, 10 o si[e]le pide un pescado, le[f]dará una serpiente? 11 Pues si ustedes, siendo malos, saben dar buenas dádivas a sus hijos, ¿cuánto más su Padre que está en los cielos dará cosas buenas a los que le piden(H)?

12 »Por eso, todo cuanto quieran que los hombres les hagan(I) , así también hagan ustedes con ellos, porque esta es la ley y los profetas(J) .

Dos puertas y dos sendas

13 »Entren por la puerta estrecha(K) , porque ancha es la puerta y amplia es la senda que lleva a la perdición[g] , y muchos son los que entran por ella. 14 Pero estrecha es la puerta y angosta la senda que lleva a la vida, y pocos son los que la hallan.

Cómo conocer a los falsos profetas

15 »Cuídense de los falsos profetas(L) , que vienen a ustedes con vestidos de ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos rapaces(M) . 16 Por sus frutos los conocerán(N). ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos o higos de los cardos? 17 Así, todo árbol bueno da frutos buenos; pero el árbol malo da frutos malos(O). 18 Un árbol bueno no puede producir frutos malos, ni un árbol malo producir frutos buenos. 19 Todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego(P). 20 Así que, por sus frutos los conocerán(Q).

21 »No todo el que me dice: “Señor, Señor(R) ”, entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino el que hace la voluntad de Mi Padre que está en los cielos. 22 Muchos me dirán(S)en aquel día(T): “Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en Tu nombre, y en Tu nombre echamos fuera demonios, y en Tu nombre hicimos muchos milagros[h]?”. 23 Entonces les declararé: “Jamás los conocí; apártense de Mí(U), los que practican la iniquidad”.

Los dos cimientos

24 »(V) Por tanto, cualquiera que oye estas palabras Mías y las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre sabio que edificó su casa sobre la roca; 25 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes[i], soplaron los vientos y azotaron[j]aquella casa; pero no se cayó, porque había sido fundada sobre la roca.

26 »Todo el que oye estas palabras Mías y no las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre insensato que edificó su casa sobre la arena; 27 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes[k], soplaron los vientos y azotaron aquella casa; y cayó, y grande fue su destrucción».

28 Cuando[l] Jesús terminó(W) estas palabras, las multitudes se admiraban de Su enseñanza(X); 29 porque les enseñaba como uno que tiene autoridad, y no como sus escribas.

Do Not Judge(A)

“Judge[a] (B)not, that you be not judged. For with what [b]judgment you judge, you will be judged; (C)and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. (D)And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

(E)“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(F)

(G)“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For (H)everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. (I)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (J)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, (K)whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for (L)this is the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow Way(M)

13 (N)“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [c]Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits(O)

15 (P)“Beware of false prophets, (Q)who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 (R)You will know them by their fruits. (S)Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, (T)every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 (U)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

I Never Knew You(V)

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, (W)‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who (X)does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we (Y)not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And (Z)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; (AA)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Build on the Rock(AB)

24 “Therefore (AC)whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that (AD)the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 (AE)for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Judging Others

(A)“Judge not, that you be not judged. (B)For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and (C)with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but (D)do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

(E)“Do not give (F)dogs what is holy, and do not throw your (G)pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

Ask, and It Will Be Given

(H)“Ask, (I)and it will be given to you; (J)seek, and you will find; (K)knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for (L)bread, will give him (M)a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (N)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will (O)your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

The Golden Rule

12 “So (P)whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is (Q)the Law and the Prophets.

13 (R)“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and (S)the way is hard that leads to life, and (T)those who find it are few.

A Tree and Its Fruit

15 (U)“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are (V)ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them (W)by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, (X)every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 (Y)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them (Z)by their fruits.

I Never Knew You

21 (AA)“Not everyone who (AB)says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will (AC)enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who (AD)does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 (AE)On that day (AF)many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not (AG)prophesy in your name, and cast out demons (AH)in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 (AI)And then will I declare to them, ‘I (AJ)never knew you; (AK)depart from me, (AL)you workers of lawlessness.’

Build Your House on the Rock

24 (AM)“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like (AN)a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like (AO)a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

The Authority of Jesus

28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, (AP)the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 (AQ)for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
