BACK TO THE BIBLE
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER Z


For with what judgment ye
judge, We shall be judged: and with
what measure We mete, it shall be
measured to you again.
And why behOldest thou the mote
that is in thy brothers eye, but con-
siderest not the beam that is in thine
own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote out
of thine eye; and, behold, beam is
in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the
beam out Of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote out OF thy brothers eye.
Give not that which is holy unto
the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them
under their feet, and turn again and
rend you.
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asketh re-
ceiyeth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and TO him that knOcketh it shall be
opened.
Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him stone?
10 Or if he ask fish, will he give
him a serpent?
IL If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father
which is in heaven give good things
TO them that ask him?
II Therefore all things whatsoever
We would that men should do TO you,
do ye even so to them: for this is
the law and the prophets.
IL Enter We in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, ard
many there be which go in thereat:
II Because strait is the gate. and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.
ID Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in Sleeps clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Yc shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thOrns, or figs of thistIes?
II Even 50 every good tree bring
eth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Is A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
10 Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.
q Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
p Many will say to NE in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have
cast out devils? and in thy name done
many wonderful works?
% And then will | profess unto
them, never knew you: depart from
me, We that work iniquity.
81 Therefore whatsoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock:
% And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not:
for it was founded upon rock.
% And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them
not. shall be likeL unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the
sand:
q And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it.
2S And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people
were aStonished at his doctrine:
% For he taught them as one hay-
ing authority, and not as the scribes.
