93 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.

94 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.

95 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

96 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

97 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

98 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

99 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?

100 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.

101

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:

102 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

103

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

104 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

105 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

106 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

107 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

108 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

109 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

110 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

111 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

112 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

113 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

114 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

115 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

116 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

117 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

XII.

Exhorts.

WHEN he was come down from the mountain,

great multitudes followed him.

2 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

3¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

4 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

5 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

XIII.

A Woman Annointeth Him.

AND one of the Pharisees desired him that he

would eat with him. And he went into the

Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

2 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in

the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of

ointment,

3 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

4 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

5 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

6 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

7 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

8 Simon answerd and said, I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
