(41)But why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, but observest not the beam which is in thine own eye? (42)Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother's eye. (43)For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit. (44)Every tree is known by its own peculiar fruit. For men do not gather figs from off thorns, nor do they gather from the bramble a bunch of grapes. (45)A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (46)And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (47)Every one who cometh to me, and heareth my words, and puts them in practice, I will shew you to whom he is like: (48)he is like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it was founded on a rock. (49)But he that heareth, and doth not practice, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; against which the river rushed violently, and immediately it fell; and the crash of the fall of that house was great. CHAP. VII. NOW after he had finished all these sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. (2)And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die. (3)But when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, entreating him that he would come and preserve the life of his servant. (4)And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour: (5)for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue. (6)Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. (7)Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured. (8)For I also am a man under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. (9)Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel. (10)And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health.
