And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.

Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake?

For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.

For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.
