Luke 6
37"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
39He also told them a parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
42How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43"For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,
44for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.
45The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?
47Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
Luke 7
1After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him.
3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue."
6And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.
7Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
8For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
10And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
11Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.
13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
15And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!"
17And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
