^aNo juzguéis para que no seáis juzgados. 2 Porque con el juicio con que juzguéis, seréis juzgados; y con la medida con que midáis, se os medirá^a. 3 ¿Y por qué miras la mota¹ que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no te das cuenta de la viga que está en tu propio ojo^a? 4 ¿O cómo puedes decir¹ a tu hermano: «Déjame sacarte la mota del ojo», cuando² la viga está en tu ojo^a? 5 ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces verás con claridad para sacar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.

6 No deis lo santo a los perros^a, ni echéis vuestras perlas delante de los cerdos, no sea que las huellen con sus patas, y volviéndose os despedacen.

7 ^aPedid, y se os dará^b; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad¹, y se os abrirá. 8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se le abrirá. 9 ¿O qué hombre hay entre vosotros que si su hijo le pide pan, le¹ dará una piedra, 10 o si¹ le pide un pescado, le² dará una serpiente? 11 Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en los cielos dará cosas buenas a los que le piden^a? 12 Por eso, todo cuanto queráis que os hagan los hombres^a, así también haced vosotros con ellos, porque esta es la ley y los profetas^b.

13 Entrad por la puerta estrecha^a, porque ancha es la puerta y amplia es la senda que lleva a la perdición¹, y muchos son los que entran por ella. 14 Porque estrecha es la puerta y angosta la senda que lleva a la vida, y pocos son los que la hallan.

15 Cuidaos de los falsos profetas^a, que vienen a vosotros con vestidos de ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos rapaces^b. 16 Por sus frutos los conoceréis^a. ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos o higos de los abrojos? 17 Así, todo árbol bueno da frutos buenos; pero el árbol malo da frutos malos^a. 18 Un árbol bueno no puede producir frutos malos, ni un árbol malo producir frutos buenos. 19 Todo árbol que no da buen fruto, es cortado y echado al fuego^a. 20 Así que, por sus frutos los conoceréis^a. 21 No todo el que me dice: «Señor, Señor^a», entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos. 22 Muchos me dirán^a en aquel día^b: «Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre echamos fuera demonios, y en tu nombre hicimos muchos milagros¹?». 23 Y entonces les declararé: «Jamás os conocí; APARTAOS DE MÍ^a, LOS QUE PRACTICÁIS LA INIQUIDAD».

24 ^aPor tanto, cualquiera que oye estas palabras mías y las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre sabio que edificó su casa sobre la roca; 25 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes¹, soplaron los vientos y azotaron² aquella casa; pero no se cayó, porque había sido fundada sobre la roca. 26 Y todo el que oye estas palabras mías y no las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre insensato que edificó su casa sobre la arena; 27 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes¹, soplaron los vientos y azotaron aquella casa; y cayó, y grande fue su destrucción.

28 Cuando¹ Jesús terminó^a estas palabras, las multitudes se admiraban de su enseñanza^b; 29 porque les enseñaba como uno que tiene autoridad, y no como sus escribas.

“^aDo not ¹judge, so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and ^1aby your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you ^alook at the ¹speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 ^aOr how ¹can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the ²speck out of your eye,’ and look, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the ¹speck out of your brother’s eye!

6 “^aDo not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7 “^1aAsk, and ^bit will be given to you; ²seek, and you will find; ³knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what person is there among you ¹who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, ²will give him a stone? 10 Or ¹if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 So if you, despite being ¹evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, ^ahow much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 “In everything, ^atherefore, ¹treat people the same way you want ²them to treat you, for ^bthis is the Law and the Prophets.

13 “^aEnter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15 “Beware of the ^afalse prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ^bravenous wolves. 16 You will ^1aknow them by their fruits. ²Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So ^aevery good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 ^aEvery tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will ¹know them ^aby their fruits.

21 “^aNot everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 ^aMany will say to Me on ^bthat day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many ¹miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; ^aLEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

24 “Therefore, ^aeveryone who hears these words of Mine, and ¹acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell and the ¹floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not ¹act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell and the ¹floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.”

28 ^1aWhen Jesus had finished these words, ^bthe crowds were amazed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

“^aDo not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and ^1aby your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you ^alook at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 ^aOr how ¹can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6 “^aDo not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7 “^1aAsk, and ^bit will be given to you; ²seek, and you will find; ³knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you ¹who, when his son asks for a loaf, ²will give him a stone? 10 Or ¹if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, ^ahow much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

13 “^aEnter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15 “Beware of the ^afalse prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ^bravenous wolves. 16 You will ^1aknow them by their fruits. ²Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So ^aevery good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 ^aEvery tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will ¹know them ^aby their fruits.

24 “Therefore ^aeveryone who hears these words of Mine and ¹acts on them, ²may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the ¹floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not ¹act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the ¹floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
