Do Not Judge
7 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.(A) 2 For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.(B) 3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?(C) 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye. 6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs,(D) or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Search, Knock
7 “Ask,(E) and it will be given to you.(F) Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door[a] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds,(G) and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil,(H) know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him. 12 Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.(I)
Entering the Kingdom
13 “Enter through the narrow gate.(J) For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,(K) and there are many who go through it. 14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
15 “Be on your guard against false prophets(L) who come to you in sheep’s(M) clothing(N) but inwardly are ravaging wolves.(O) 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit.(P) Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?(Q) 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(R) 20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.(S)
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,(T) but only the one who does the will(U) of my Father in heaven.(V) 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons(W) in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’(X) 23 Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers!’[b][c](Y)
The Two Foundations
24 “Therefore,(Z) everyone who hears these words(AA) of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(AB) the crowds were astonished at his teaching,(AC) 29 because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.

Judging Others(A)
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.(B) 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.(C)
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock(D)
7 “Ask and it will be given to you;(E) seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds;(F) and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts(G) to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,(H) for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.(I)
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate.(J) For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets.(K) They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.(L) 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.(M) Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?(N) 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.(O) 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(P) 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
True and False Disciples
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’(Q) will enter the kingdom of heaven,(R) but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.(S) 22 Many will say to me on that day,(T) ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’(U) 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’(V)
The Wise and Foolish Builders(W)
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice(X) is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(Y) the crowds were amazed at his teaching,(Z) 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

El juzgar a los demás
7 »No juzguen a los demás, para que Dios no los juzgue a ustedes, 2 porque de la manera como juzguen a otros, así Dios los juzgará a ustedes; Dios los va a tratar de la misma forma en que ustedes traten a los demás. 3 ¿Cómo te atreves a mirar la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano, si tienes una viga en el tuyo? 4 ¿Cómo le pedirás a tu amigo que te deje sacarle la paja que tiene en su ojo, si la viga que tienes en el tuyo no te deja ver? 5 ¡Hipócrita! Sácate primero la viga que tienes en tu ojo, para que puedas ver bien cuando estés sacando la paja del ojo de tu hermano.
6 »No le den lo que es santo a los perros, ni echen perlas delante de los puercos; porque son capaces de pisotearlas y luego dar media vuelta y atacarlos a ustedes.
Pidan, busquen, llamen
7 »Pidan y se les concederá lo que pidan. Busquen y hallarán. Toquen y se les abrirá la puerta. 8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se le abrirá. 9 ¿Si su hijo le pide pan, ¿quién de ustedes será capaz de darle una piedra? 10 Y si le pide pescado, seguro que no le dará una serpiente venenosa, ¿verdad? 11 Pues si ustedes que son malos saben dar buenas cosas a sus hijos, ¡cuánto más su Padre que está en los cielos dará buenas cosas a los que se las pidan!
12 »Haz a otros todo lo que quieras que te hagan a ti. En esto se resumen las enseñanzas de la ley y de los profetas.
La puerta estrecha y la puerta ancha
13 »Entren por la puerta estrecha, porque ancha es la puerta y espacioso el camino que conducen a la perdición; por eso muchísimas personas los prefieren. 14 En cambio, estrecha es la puerta y angosto el camino que conducen a la vida, y muy pocas personas los hallan.
El árbol y sus frutos
15 »Cuídense de los falsos maestros que se les acercan disfrazados de ovejas, pero en realidad son lobos capaces de destrozarlos. 16 De la misma manera que uno puede identificar un árbol por los frutos que lleva, así podrán identificar a esos falsos profetas por la forma en que se comportan. ¿Quién confunde una vid con un espino o una higuera con abrojos? 17 El buen árbol produce buenos frutos; y el malo, malos frutos. 18 Es imposible que un buen árbol produzca frutos desagradables. Por otro lado, es imposible que un mal árbol produzca buenos frutos. 19 Por eso los árboles que dan malos frutos se cortan y se queman. 20 Igualmente, una persona se conoce por las acciones que realiza.
21 »No todos los que se dirijan a mí llamándome “Señor, Señor”, entrarán en el reino de los cielos. Allí sólo entrarán los que obedezcan a mi Padre que está en el cielo. 22 El día del juicio muchos me dirán: “Señor, nosotros predicamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre echamos fuera demonios y realizamos muchísimos milagros”. 23 Pero yo les responderé: “A ustedes nunca los conocí. Apártense de mí, porque sus obras son malignas”.
El prudente y el insensato
24 »Todo el que presta atención a mis enseñanzas y las pone en práctica es tan sabio como el hombre que edificó su casa sobre una roca bien firme. 25 Cuando llegaron las lluvias, las inundaciones y los huracanes, la casa no se derrumbó porque estaba edificada sobre roca. 26 Pero el que oye mis enseñanzas y no las pone en práctica, es como el tonto que edificó su casa sobre la arena. 27 Cuando llegaron las lluvias, las inundaciones y los fuertes vientos, la casa se derrumbó y su ruina fue irreparable».
28 Cuando Jesús terminó de impartir estas enseñanzas, la multitud que lo había escuchado quedó admirada, 29 porque enseñaba como alguien que tiene gran autoridad y no como los escribas.
