006:043 "There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.

006:044 Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.

006:045 A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

006:046 "And why do you all call me `Master, Master' and yet not do
what I tell you?

006:047 Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts
them in practice, I will show you whom he is like.

006:048 He is like a man building a house, who digs and goes deep,
and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes,
the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it,
because it is securely built.

006:049 But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has
built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation,
against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses,
and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."

of the people, He went into Capernaum.

007:002 Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master,
was ill and at the point of death;

007:003 and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.
