¹“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.

²For in the way you judge, you will be judged; andby your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

³Why do you look at thespeck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

⁴Or howcan you say to your brother, ‘Let me take thespeck out of your eye,’ and look, the log is in your own eye?

⁵You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take thespeck out of your brother’s eye!

⁶“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

⁷“ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

⁸For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

⁹Or what person is there among youwho, when his son asks for a loaf of bread,will give him a stone?

¹⁰Orif he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

¹¹So if you, despite beingevil, 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“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

¹³“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

¹⁴For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

¹⁵“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

¹⁶You willknow them by their fruits.Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they?

¹⁷So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

¹⁸A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

¹⁹Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

²⁰So then, you willknow them by their fruits.

²¹“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

²²Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform manymiracles?’

²³And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

²⁴“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

²⁵And the rain fell and thefloods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

²⁶And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does notact on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

²⁷And the rain fell and thefloods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.”

²⁸When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

²⁹for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

¹When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

²And a man with leprosy came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

³Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴And Jesus *said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present theoffering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

⁵And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, begging Him,

⁶and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, terribly tormented.”

⁷Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

⁸But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

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

¹⁰Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faithwith anyone in Israel.

¹¹And I say to you that many will come from east and west, andrecline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

¹²but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go;it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

¹⁴When Jesus came into Peter’s home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

¹⁵And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

¹⁶Now when evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

¹⁷This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR ILLNESSES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.”

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

¹⁹Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

²⁰And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

²¹And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

²²But Jesus *said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

²³When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

²⁴And behold, a violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

²⁵And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!”

²⁶He *said to them, “Why are youafraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

²⁷The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

²⁸And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men confronted Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.

²⁹And they cried out, saying, “What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

³⁰Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them.

³¹And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

³²And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters.

³³And the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

³⁴And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they pleaded with Him to leave their region.
