The Blind Cannot Guide The Blind. Correct Yourself First
39 And He also spoke a parable to them— “A blind one is not able to guide a blind one, is he? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above the teacher. But everyone having been fully-trained will be like his teacher. 41 And why do you look-at the speck in the eye of your brother, but do not consider[a] the log in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit me to take-out the speck in your eye’, while yourself not seeing the log in your eye? Hypocrite! First take out the log from your eye. And then you will see-clearly to take out the speck in the eye of your brother.
A Tree Is Known By Its Fruit. The Mouth Speaks From The Heart
43 “For there is no good[b] tree producing bad fruit; nor again, a bad tree producing good fruit. 44 For each tree is known[c] by its own fruit. For they do not collect figs from thorns, nor do they gather a grape-bunch from a bramble-bush. 45 The good person brings forth the good thing out of the good treasure[d] of his heart. And the evil person brings forth the evil thing out of his evil treasure. For his mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
Don’t Just Call Me Lord. Be a Doer of My Words
46 “And why are you calling Me ‘Lord, Lord[e]’, and you are not doing the things which I say? 47 Everyone coming to Me and hearing My words and doing them— I will show you to whom he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house who dug, and went down deep, and laid a foundation on the bed-rock. And a flood[f] having come about, the river broke-against[g] that house. And it was not strong-enough to shake it, because it had been built well. 49 But the one having heard and not having done My words is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river broke-against. And immediately it collapsed, and the breakage of that house became great”.
Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant From Afar By Speaking The Word
7 After He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s[h] slave, who was precious[i] to him, being ill, was about to come-to-an-end[j]. 3 But having heard about Jesus, he sent-forth elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him so that having come, He might restore his slave. 4 And the ones having come to Jesus were appealing-to Him earnestly, saying that “He for whom You will grant this is worthy. 5 For he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us”. 6 Now Jesus was proceeding with them. And He already being not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Master, do not be troubling Yourself. For I am not fit that You should come in under my roof. 7 For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You. But speak it in a word[k], and let my servant be healed. 8 For I also am a man being placed under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one, ‘Go!’, and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’, and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’, and he does it”. 9 And having heard these things, Jesus marveled-at him. And having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so great a faith”. 10 And having returned to the house, the ones having been sent found the slave being healthy.
