eye, then thou shall
see clearly enough to cast the mote from thy brother's eye.
Do not give that which is holy to dogs. And do not cast your pearls
before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn around
and rend you.
Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it
shall be opened to you. Who of you is there who, if his son asks for

bread, will give him a stone? Or, if he asks for a fish, will give him a
serpent? If ye, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more shall your Father in heaven give good things
to those who ask Him? Therefore, all things ye would have others do to
you, do so to them. This is the law and the meaning of the prophets.
Enter in at the narrow gate. Wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction. Many go that way. Because the gate and the way
that leads to life is narrow, few find it.
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but are
inwardly ravenous wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? No, every good tree
brings forth good fruit. A corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good
fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast into the fire. So, by their fruits ye shall know them.
Now, not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven. Only he who does the will of my Father in heaven
shall enter. Many will say to me, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? In thy name have we not cast out devils? And, in thy name,
have we not done many wonderful works? Then will I say to them, I
never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Whoever hears these sayings and does them, I liken to a wise man who
built his house upon a rock. When the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew and beat upon the house, it did not fall
because it was founded upon a rock.
Whoever hears these sayings and does not do them I liken to a foolish
man who built his house upon the sand. When the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, it fell.
And a great fall it was.
When Jesus finished these sayings, people were astonished at His
teaching because He spoke as one having authority different from the
scribes.
8. When He came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed
Him. And, behold, there came a leper who worshipped Him, saying,
Lord, if Thou will, Thou can make me clean. Jesus put out His hand,
touched him, and said, Be thou clean. Immediately his leprosy was
cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, See that thou tell no man. Go thy way,

show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded for
a testimony.
Then, when Jesus was in Capernaum, a centurion beseeched Him
saying, Lord, my servant lies at home sick with palsy and grievously
tormented. Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. The centurion
answered, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof,
but only give the word and my servant shall be healed. I am a man of
authority, understand commands, and have soldiers under me. I
command this man, Go, and he goes. To another I say, Come, and he
comes. I direct my servant to do this, and he does it.
When Jesus heard this, He marvelled and said to those who followed,
Verily, I say unto you, I have not found such great faith anywhere, no,
not even in Israel. And I say to you, Many shall come from the east and
west and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the
kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out
into darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus said
to the centurion, Go thy way. As thou has believed, so be it done unto
thee. And the servant was healed that same hour.
When Jesus went to Peter's house, He saw Peter's wife's mother laid
sick with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her. She arose
and ministered to them. That evening they brought to Him many who
were possessed with devils and He cast out the spirits
