Matthew 7
7
1“Judge not lest you be judged”.
2“With what judgment you judge and with what measure you use, it will be measured to you”.
3“Why do you see the straw in the eyes of the other person but not see the beam in your own eyes”
4“How is it that you say to the other person: ‘Wait for me awhile and I will cast the straw out of your eyes’, and behold the beam is in your own eyes?”
5“Hypocrite, first cast the beam out of your eyes and afterwards you will cast the straw out of the eyes of your fellowman”
6Again he said to them: “Do not give holy flesh to dogs nor place your pearls before swine lest they chew them before you and turn to tear you to pieces”.
7“Ask from The Mighty One and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you”.
8“Everyone who asks will receive, by the one who seeks it will be found, and to the one who calls it will be opened”
9“Who is there among you whose son asks him for a piece of bread and he gives him a stone?”
10“Or if he should ask for a fish, he gives him a snake?”
11“But if you being evil come to place give good gifts to one another, so much the more your Father Who is in heaven will give His Good Ruach [Spirit [Ruach]] to those who seek Him”.
12“Everything you wish that men should do to you, do to them; this is the Torah and the words of the prophets”.
13At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Enter in the narrow gate because the gate of destruction is wide and deep, and many are going through it”
14“How narrow is the gate and marked by grief the Way that leads straight to life and few are those who find it”
15Again he said to them: “Beware of false prophets who come to you in wool clothing like sheep, but inside are tearing wolves”
16“By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?”
17“Every good tree makes good fruit and every bad tree makes bad fruit”
18“The good tree cannot make bad fruit nor can the bad tree make good fruit”
19“Every tree which does not make good fruit is cut down and burned in the fire”
20“Therefore it is according to fruits, that is, by their deeds, you will know them”
21“Because not everyone who says unto me, Adonai [Ruler Above All], will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but, the one who does the will of my Father Who is in heaven, will enter the Kingdom of heaven”
22“Many will say to me in that day, ‘Adonai [Ruler Above All], Adonai [Ruler Above All], did we not prophesy in your name and in your name cast out demons and do many signs in your name’”
23“Then I will say to them: I never knew you. Depart from me all you workers of iniquity”
24Again he said to them: “Everyone who hears these my words and does them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock”.
25“The rain came down against it and the winds beat it and it did not fall because its foundation was a rock”
26“Everyone who hears these my words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.”
27“The rains came down, the floods came and fell against it and it fell with a great fall”.
28While Yeshua [God is Salvation] was speaking these words all the people were greatly astonished at his conduct,
29because he was preaching to them with great power, not as the rest of the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists]”

Matthew 7
7
Judging others
(Luke 6.37,38,41,42)
Jesus said:
1Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you. 2God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them.#Mk 4.24.
3You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. 4How can you say, “My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when you don't see the log in your own eye? 5You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye. Then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.
6Don't give to dogs what belongs to God. They will only turn and attack you. Don't throw pearls down in front of pigs. They will trample all over them.
Ask, search, knock
(Luke 11.9-13)
Jesus continued:
7Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. 9Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for some bread? 10Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish? 11As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.
12Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets#7.12 the Law and the Prophets: See the note at 5.17. are all about.#Lk 6.31.
The narrow gate
(Luke 13.24)
Jesus continued:
13Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate. 14But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.
A tree and its fruit
(Luke 6.43-45)
Jesus continued:
15Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you. 16You can tell what they are by what they do. No one picks grapes or figs from thorn bushes. 17A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. 19Every tree that produces bad fruit will be chopped down and burnt.#Mt 3.10; Lk 3.9. 20You can tell who the false prophets are by their deeds.#Mt 12.33.
A warning
(Luke 13.26,27)
Jesus continued:
21Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. 22On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and performed many miracles.” 23But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”#Ps 6.8.
Two builders
(Luke 6.47-49)
Jesus continued:
24Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. 25Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on solid rock.
26Anyone who hears my teachings and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand. 27The rain poured down, the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Finally, it fell with a crash.
28When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were surprised at his teaching.#Mk 1.22; Lk 4.32. 29He taught them like someone with authority, and not like their teachers of the Law of Moses.
