do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than
they?
[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
[28] And why take ye thought
for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
[29] And yet
I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
[30] Wherefore, if
God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not
much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
[31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles
seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
[33] But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[34] Take therefore
no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof.
Matt.7
[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is
in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[4] Or how wilt thou say to
thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a 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 brother's eye.
[6] 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.
[7] Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
[8] For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[9] Or what man is
there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give
him a serpent?
[11] 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?
[12] Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
[13]
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it.
[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
[19] 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.
[21] 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.
[22] Many will say to me 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?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] 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 a
rock.
[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto
a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] 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.
[28] And it came
to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
[29] For he
taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matt.8
[1] When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
[2] And, behold, there
came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[3] And Jesus
put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
[4]
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the
gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
[5] And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum,
