Murder Begins in the Heart

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
