Beginning

7 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged.

² For with the judgment with which ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with the measure with which ye measure, ye shall be measured again.

³ And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother’s eye but dost not consider the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

⁵ Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou be able to see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.

⁷ ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;

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

⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom, if his son asks for bread, will he give him a stone?

¹⁰ Or if he asks for fish, will he give him a serpent?

¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those that ask him?

¹² ¶ Therefore, all things whatsoever ye desire that men should do unto you, so also shall ye do unto them, for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³ Enter ye in at the narrow gate, for the way that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and those who follow it are many;

¹⁴ because narrow is the gate, and confined is the way which leads unto life, and there are few that find it.

¹⁵ ¶ Keep yourselves also from the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷ Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹ Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.

²⁰ So that by their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹ ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

²³ And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

²⁴ Therefore, whosoever hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

²⁵ and the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it did not fall, for it was founded upon a rock.

²⁶ And every one that hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

²⁷ and the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it.

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these words, the multitude marvelled at his doctrine;

²⁹ for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

8 ¶ When he was come down from the mountain, many people followed him.

² And, behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me.

³ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁵ ¶ And when Jesus was entering into Capernaum, a centurion came unto him, beseeching him,

⁶ and saying, Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed, grievously tormented.

⁷ And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.

⁸ The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof; but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

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

¹⁰ When Jesus heard it, he marvelled and said to those that followed, Verily I say unto you that not even in Israel have I found such faith.

¹¹ But I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

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

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

¹⁴ ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying in bed and with fever.

¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and ministered unto them.

¹⁶ When evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils, and he cast out the spirits with the word and healed all that were sick

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.

¹⁸ ¶ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he commanded that they depart unto the other side.

¹⁹ And a certain scribe came and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

²⁰ And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.

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

²² But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

²³ ¶ And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

²⁴ And, behold, there arose a great moving in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.

²⁵ And his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us; we perish.

²⁶ And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, awake, he rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁷ But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him!

²⁸ ¶ And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

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

³⁰ And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

³¹ So the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

³² And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine; and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea and perished in the waters.

³³ And those that fed them fled and went into the city and told everything and what was befallen to the ones possessed of the demons.

³⁴ And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their borders.
