Matthew

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.

不要论断人

1「你们不要论断人，免得你们被论断。

2因为你们怎样论断人，也必怎样被论断；你们用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你们。

3为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺，却不想自己眼中有梁木呢？

4你自己眼中有梁木，怎能对你弟兄说：『容我去掉你眼中的刺』呢？

5你这假冒为善的人！先去掉自己眼中的梁木，然后才能看得清楚，去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。

6不要把圣物给狗，也不要把你们的珍珠丢在猪前，恐怕它践踏了珍珠，转过来咬你们。」

祈求、寻找、叩门

7「你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门。

8因为凡祈求的，就得着；寻找的，就寻见；叩门的，就给他开门。

9你们中间谁有儿子求饼，反给他石头呢？

10求鱼，反给他蛇呢？

11你们虽然不好，尚且知道拿好东西给儿女，何况你们在天上的父，岂不更把好东西给求他的人吗？

12所以，无论何事，你们愿意人怎样待你们，你们也要怎样待人，因为这就是律法和先知的道理。」

窄门

13「你们要进窄门。因为引到灭亡，那门是宽的，路是大的，进去的人也多；

14引到永生，那门是窄的，路是小的，找着的人也少。」

两种果树

15「你们要防备假先知。他们到你们这里来，外面披着羊皮，里面却是残暴的狼。

16凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。荆棘上岂能摘葡萄呢？蒺藜里岂能摘无花果呢？

17这样，凡好树都结好果子，惟独坏树结坏果子。

18好树不能结坏果子；坏树不能结好果子。

19凡不结好果子的树就砍下来，丢在火里。

20所以，凭着他们的果子就可以认出他们来。」

我不认识你们

21「凡称呼我『主啊，主啊』的人不能都进天国；惟独遵行我天父旨意的人才能进去。

22当那日必有许多人对我说：『主啊，主啊，我们不是奉你的名传道，奉你的名赶鬼，奉你的名行许多异能吗？』

23我就明明地告诉他们说：『我从来不认识你们，你们这些作恶的人，离开我去吧！』」

两种盖房子的人

24「所以，凡听见我这话就去行的，好比一个聪明人，把房子盖在磐石上；

25雨淋，水冲，风吹，撞着那房子，房子总不倒塌，因为根基立在磐石上。

26凡听见我这话不去行的，好比一个无知的人，把房子盖在沙土上；

27雨淋，水冲，风吹，撞着那房子，房子就倒塌了，并且倒塌得很大。」

28耶稣讲完了这些话，众人都希奇他的教训；

29因为他教训他们，正像有权柄的人，不像他们的文士。
