Chapter 7
For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
You 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.
“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.
“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

“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.
The 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.
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
Chapter 8
When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
