39 And he spake a parable unto them; Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect, shall be as his master. 3 And why beholdest thou the 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy 42 Either how canst thou say brother, Let me pull out the to thy brother, Brother, let mote out of thine eye; and me pull out the mote that is behold a beam _is_ in thine in thine eye, when thou own eye? thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s 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 43 For a good tree bringeth bringeth forth good fruit; but not forth corrupt fruit; a corrupt tree bringeth forth neither doth a corrupt tree evil fruit.
