every one that is
41 perfect shall be as his teacher. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers
eye, but perceivest
42. not the beam that is in thine won eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother,
let me pull the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam in thine
own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shall you see
clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother`s eye!.
43. For there is no good tree that maketh corrupt fruit; nor
44. corrupt tree that maketh good fruit. For each tree is known by its fruit. For of thorns do
they not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is truely
good: and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:
for out of the abundance of the heart his
46. mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and
47. do not do the things which I say? Everyone that cometh to me, and heareth my sayings,
and doeth them, I will
48. shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who digged and went
deep, and laid a foundation on the rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemtly
upon the house, and had not strenght to shake it: for it was founded upon the
49. rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a
house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell,
and the ruin of that house was great.

Now when he had completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into
Capernaum.
2. And a certain centurion`s servant was sick, and going to
3. die; and he was precious unto him. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him elders of
the Jews
4. asking him that he would come and save his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they
besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5. "For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us the
6. synagogue". Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house,
the centurion sent friends to him,saying unto him: "Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not
worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7. Wherefore neither thoughtr I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my
boy shall be healed.
8. For I aslo am a man set under authority, having under me soliders, and I say unto this one,
Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do
9. this, and he doeth it". And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned,
and said unto the multitude that followed him, "I say unto you, not even in
10. Israel have I found so great faith." And they that were sent, returned to the house, and
found the sick servant whole.
