7 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For whatever standard you use to judge others will be used to judge you, and whatever measurement you use to measure others will be used to measure you. 3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye and do not notice the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’ when you have a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first get rid of the plank in your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 6 Do not give what is holy to dogs,[99] and do not throw your pearls to pigs, so that they do not trample them under foot, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
    7 “Keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you. 8 Everyone who goes on asking, receives; and whoever keeps seeking, finds; and whoever keeps knocking has the door opened for them. 9 Is there any one of you who when your son asks for bread, would give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for fish, would you give him a snake? 11 If even you who are evil know how to give good things to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him? 12 Whatever you want people to do to you, do to them too. This sums up the Law and the prophets.
   13 ““Enter through the narrow entrance, because wide is the entrance and broad the way which leads to destruction, and many go that way. 14 But small is the entrance and narrow is the way which leads to Life,[100] and only a few find it.
   15 “Beware false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing, but inside are vicious wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Do people harvest grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
   17 In the same way every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.  18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 So by their fruits you will recognize them.[101]
   21 “Not everyone who says to me ‘lord, lord’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven;[102] rather it is those who do the will of my Father in heaven. 22 There will be many who say to me in the day of judgment, ‘lord, lord, did we not preach for you and drive out demons in your name, and perform many miracles with your authority?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never recognized you. Depart from me, you who practice wickedness.’[103]
   24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine, and obeys[104] them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock. 25 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, but it did not fall down, because its foundations were on solid rock. 26 Everyone who hears my words, and does not obey them, is like a moron who built his house on the sand.
   27 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, and it fell down — it totally collapsed.”
   28 When Jesus had finished these words,[105] the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he was teaching like someone with authority, and not like their religious teachers.
