Matthew 7

Judging Others
Lk 6:37–38, 41–42
1#Lk 6:37; Jas 4:11–12#“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2#Mk 4:24; Lk 6:38For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged. And with the measure you use, it will be measured again for you.
3#Jn 8:7–9“And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank that is in your own eye? 4Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Let me pull the speck out of your eye,’ when a log is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6#Mt 15:26; Pr 9:7–8“Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn around and attack you.
Ask, Seek, Knock
Lk 11:9–13
7#Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24“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 he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
9“What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake? 11#Ge 6:5; 8:21If you then, being evil, 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#Lk 6:31; Ro 13:8–10; Lev 19:18Therefore, everything you would like men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow Gate
Lk 13:24
13“Enter at the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who are going through it, 14because small is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
Lk 6:43–44
15#1Jn 4:1; Mt 24:11; Col 2:8“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16#Mt 12:33; Jas 3:12You will know them by their fruit. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17#Mt 12:33–35Even so, every good tree bears good fruit. But a corrupt tree bears evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bear good fruit. 19#Mt 3:10; Lk 3:9Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20#Mt 7:16Therefore, by their fruit you will know them.
I Never Knew You
Lk 13:25–27
21#Mt 25:11–12; Lk 6:46“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22#Nu 24:4; Mal 3:17–18Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works in Your name?’ 23#Ps 6:8; Mt 25:41But then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil.’#Ps 6:8.
The Two Housebuilders
Lk 6:47–49
24#Lk 6:47–49“Whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. 25And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded a rock. 26And every one who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it fell. And its fall was great.”
28#Mk 1:22; 6:2When Jesus finished these sayings, the people were astonished at His teaching, 29for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew 7
7
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? 4Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 8For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 9Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 11If you then, being evil, 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! 12Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the Torah and the Prophets.
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. 14How#7:14 TR reads “Because” instead of “How” narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 18A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 19Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’ 23Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. 25The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
28 When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, 29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
