Matthew

不要論斷人

1「你們不要論斷人，免得你們被論斷。

2因為你們怎樣論斷人，也必怎樣被論斷；你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。

3為甚麼看見你弟兄眼中有刺，卻不想自己眼中有樑木呢？

4你自己眼中有樑木，怎能對你弟兄說：『容我去掉你眼中的刺』呢？

5你這假冒為善的人！先去掉自己眼中的樑木，然後才能看得清楚，去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。

6不要把聖物給狗，也不要把你們的珍珠丟在豬前，恐怕牠踐踏了珍珠，轉過來咬你們。」

祈求、尋找、叩門

7「你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。

8因為凡祈求的，就得着；尋找的，就尋見；叩門的，就給他開門。

9你們中間誰有兒子求餅，反給他石頭呢？

10求魚，反給他蛇呢？

11你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況你們在天上的父，豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎？

12所以，無論何事，你們願意人怎樣待你們，你們也要怎樣待人，因為這就是律法和先知的道理。」

窄門

13「你們要進窄門。因為引到滅亡，那門是寬的，路是大的，進去的人也多；

14引到永生，那門是窄的，路是小的，找着的人也少。」

兩種果樹

15「你們要防備假先知。他們到你們這裏來，外面披着羊皮，裏面卻是殘暴的狼。

16憑着他們的果子，就可以認出他們來。荊棘上豈能摘葡萄呢？蒺藜裏豈能摘無花果呢？

17這樣，凡好樹都結好果子，惟獨壞樹結壞果子。

18好樹不能結壞果子；壞樹不能結好果子。

19凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來，丟在火裏。

20所以，憑着他們的果子就可以認出他們來。」

我不認識你們

21「凡稱呼我『主啊，主啊』的人不能都進天國；惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人才能進去。

22當那日必有許多人對我說：『主啊，主啊，我們不是奉你的名傳道，奉你的名趕鬼，奉你的名行許多異能嗎？』

23我就明明地告訴他們說：『我從來不認識你們，你們這些作惡的人，離開我去吧！』」

兩種蓋房子的人

24「所以，凡聽見我這話就去行的，好比一個聰明人，把房子蓋在磐石上；

25雨淋，水沖，風吹，撞着那房子，房子總不倒塌，因為根基立在磐石上。

26凡聽見我這話不去行的，好比一個無知的人，把房子蓋在沙土上；

27雨淋，水沖，風吹，撞着那房子，房子就倒塌了，並且倒塌得很大。」

28耶穌講完了這些話，眾人都希奇他的教訓；

29因為他教訓他們，正像有權柄的人，不像他們的文士。

Judging Others

1“Do not judge, or you will be judged.

2For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

5You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

Ask, Seek, Knock

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

8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

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

11So if you who are evil 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!

12In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow Gate

13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

A Tree and Its Fruit

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

16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

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

20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.

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

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

23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

The House on the Rock

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

25The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

26But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”

The Authority of Jesus

28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

29because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
