tree bring forth good fruit.

and shall be cast into the fire.
7:20. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
7:21. Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in
heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
7:22. Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we
prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many
miracles in thy name?

me, you that work iniquity.
7:24. Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them,

rock.
7:26. And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not,
shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

Matthew Chapter 8
Christ cleanses the leper, heals the centurion's servant, Peter's
mother-in-law, and many others: he stills the storm at sea, drives the
devils out of two men possessed, and suffers them to go into the swine.
8:1. And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him:
8:2. And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou
wilt, thou canst make me clean.
8:3. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will,
be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
8:4. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself
to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a
testimony unto them.
8:5. And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a
centurion, beseeching him,
8:6. And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and
is grievously tormented.
8:7. And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.
8:8. And the centurion, making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my
servant shall be healed.
8:9. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me
soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another Come, and
he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
8:10. And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed
him. Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.
