37 (A)Do not [a]judge, and you will not be judged; and do not [b]condemn, and you will not be condemned; [c](B)pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will [d]pour (C)into your lap a (D)good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

39 Now He also spoke a parable to them: (E)A person who is blind cannot guide another who is blind, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 (F)A [e]student is not above the teacher; but everyone, when he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you look at the [f]speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the [g]speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the [h]speck that is in your brother’s eye. 43 (G)For there is no good tree that bears bad fruit, nor, [i]on the other hand, a bad tree that bears good fruit. 44 (H)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45 (I)The good person out of the good [j]treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; (J)for his mouth speaks from [k]that which fills his heart.

The Parable of the Builders

46 “Now (K)why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 (L)Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and [l]acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who [m]dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when there was a flood, the river burst against that house and yet it could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; and the river burst against it and it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Judging Others(A)

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(B) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(C) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.(D) For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”(E)

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?(F) 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.(G)

41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

A Tree and Its Fruit(H)

43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.(I) People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.(J)

The Wise and Foolish Builders(K)

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’(L) and do not do what I say?(M) 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice,(N) I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
