- "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
- "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
- "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
- "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
- "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

- Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
- Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
- Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
- A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
- Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
|
- "So then, you will know them by their fruits.
- "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
- "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
- "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
- "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
|
- Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
- 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.
- 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?
- And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
- 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:
|
- "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
- "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
- "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
- When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;
- for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
|
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
- For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
