Return to IndexHenry's Commentary

Chapter 7

1

Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Judge Luke 6:37, Rom 2:1, Rom 14:3, 1st Cor 4:3, 1st Cor 4:5, Jam 4:11

2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
measure Mark 4:24, Luke 6:38

3

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
beholdest Luke 6:41

4

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
dogs Matt 15:26, Mark 7:27, Phil 3:2, Rev 22:15
rend Prov 9:7,8

7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Ask Matt 21:22, Mark 11:24, Luke 11:9,10, Luke 18:1, John 14:13, John 15:7, John 16:23, 1st John 3:22

8

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
seeketh Prov 8:17

9

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
give Isa 49:15, Rom 8:32

12

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
whatsoever Luke 6:31, Rom 13:8, 1st Tim 1:5
law Matt 5:19

13

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
strait Luke 13:24
wide 1st John 5:19

14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
prophets Deut 13:3, Jer 23:16, Rom 16:17, Eph 5:6, Col 2:8, 2nd Pet 2:1, 1st John 4:1
sheep's Micah 3:5, 2 Tim 3:5
wolves Acts 20:29

16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
fruits Luke 6:43

17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
tree Jer 11:19

18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
good Matt 12:33

19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
hewn down Matt 3:10, Luke 3:9, Luke 13:7, Luke 13:9, John 15:6

20

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Lord Hos 8:2, Acts 19:13
doeth Rom 2:13, James 1:22

22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
prophesied Num 24:4, John 11:51, 1st Cor 13:2

23

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
knew Exod 33:12, Nahum 1:7, 1st Cor 8:3, Gal 4:9, 2nd Tim 2:19
depart Psa 5:5, Psa 6:8, Matt 25:41
iniquity Matt 5:20, Matt 13:41

24

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
heareth Luke 6:47

25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
beat Acts 14:22

26

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
fall Heb 10:31, 2nd Pet 2:20

28

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
astonished Matt 13:54, Matt 22:33, Mark 1:22, Mark 6:2, Luke 4:32

29

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
authority Isa 50:4, John 7:46
