41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42How canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite! cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43For there is no good tree that bears corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree that bears good fruit. 44For every tree is known from its own fruit. For from thorns they do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they harvest grapes. 45The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and the evil, out of the evil, brings forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47Every one that comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like. 48He is like a man building a house, who digged deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream burst upon that house, and could not shake it; because it was well builded. 49But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; on which the stream burst, and immediately it fell[49]; and the ruin of that house was great.
VII. When he completed all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and about to die. 3And having heard concerning Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and heal his servant. 4And they, coming to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him; 5for he loves our nation, and himself built our synagogue.
6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof. 7Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say with a word, and my servant will be healed. 8For I am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. 9And Jesus hearing these things, marveled at him; and turning said to the multitude that followed him: I say to you, I found not so great faith, even in Israel.
10And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. 12And as he came near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude of the city was with her. 13And seeing her, the Lord had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not. 14And he came and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. 15And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people. 17And this report went forth in all Judæa concerning him, and in all the country around.
18And the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. 19And John calling to him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that comes, or look we for another? 20And coming to him, the men said: John the Immerser has sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that comes, or look we for another? 21And in that very hour he cured many, of diseases and plagues, and evil spirits; and on many blind he bestowed sight. 22And answering he said to them: Go, and report to John what ye saw and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are published. 23And happy is he, whoever shall not be offended at me.
24And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?
