Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
007:011 If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven
give good things to those who ask Him!
007:012 Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would
have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this
the Law and the Prophets are summed up.
007:013 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road
which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;
007:014 because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads
to Life, and few are those who find it.
007:015 "Beware of the false teachers--men who come to you in sheep's fleeces,
but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.
007:016 By their fruits you will easily recognize them.
Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from brambles?
007:017 Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous
tree produces bad fruit.
007:018 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit.
007:019 Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown
aside for burning.
007:020 So by their fruits at any rate, you will easily recognize them.
007:021 "Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter
the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient
to my Father who is in Heaven.
007:022 Many will say to me on that day, "`Master, Master, have we
not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name expelled demons,
and in Thy name performed many mighty works?'
007:023 "And then I will tell them plainly, "`I never knew you:
begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'
007:024 "Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will
be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon rock;
007:025 and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds
blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall,
for its foundation is on rock.
007:026 And every one who hears these my teachings and does not act
upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his
house upon sand.
007:027 The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come,
and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls;
and disastrous is the fall."
007:028 When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled
with amazement at His teaching,
007:029 for He had been teaching them as one who had authority,
and not as their Scribes taught.
008:001 Upon descending from the hill country He was followed
by immense crowds.
008:002 And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet,
said, "Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me."
008:003 So Jesus put out His hand and touched him, and said, "I am willing:
be cleansed." Instantly he was cleansed from his leprosy;
