1 No juzguen, para que no sean juzgados.
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
2 Porque con el juicio con que juzguen serán juzgados, y con la medida con que midan se les medirá.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 ¿Por qué miras la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no notas la viga que está en tu propio ojo?
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
4 ¿Cómo puedes decir a tu hermano: Déjame sacar la paja de tu ojo, cuando tienes una viga en el tuyo?
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
5 Hipócrita, saca primero la viga de tu propio ojo; entonces verás bien para sacar la paja del ojo de tu hermano.
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 No den lo santo a los perros, ni echen sus perlas delante de los cerdos; no sea que las pisoteen, y luego se vuelvan contra ustedes y los despedacen.
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 Pidan, y se les dará; busquen, y encontrarán; llamen, y se les abrirá.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8 Porque todo el que pide recibe; el que busca encuentra; y al que llama se le abrirá.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9 ¿Quién de ustedes, si su hijo le pide pan, le dará una piedra?
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 ¿O si le pide un pescado, le dará una serpiente?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 Pues si ustedes, siendo malos, saben dar buenas cosas a sus hijos, ¿cuánto más su Padre que está en los cielos dará cosas buenas a los que le pidan?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
12 Así que, traten a los demás como ustedes quieren que ellos los traten, porque esto resume la Ley y los Profetas.
12 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Entren por la puerta estrecha; porque ancha es la puerta y amplio el camino que lleva a la destrucción, y muchos entran por ella.
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
14 Pero estrecha es la puerta y angosto el camino que lleva a la vida, y pocos lo encuentran.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
15 Cuídense de los falsos profetas. Ellos vienen a ustedes vestidos como ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos feroces.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 Por sus frutos los conocerán. ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos, o higos de los cardos?
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
17 Así, todo buen árbol da buen fruto, pero el árbol malo da fruto malo.
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 Un buen árbol no puede dar fruto malo, ni un árbol malo puede dar fruto bueno.
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego.
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Así que por sus frutos los conocerán.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 No todo el que me dice: Señor, Señor, entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Muchos me dirán en aquel día: Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, echamos fuera demonios en tu nombre, e hicimos muchos milagros en tu nombre?
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
23 Entonces les diré claramente: Nunca los conocí. Apártense de mí, ustedes que hacen maldad.
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
24 Por tanto, todo el que oye estas palabras mías y las pone en práctica será como un hombre sabio que construyó su casa sobre la roca.
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 Cayó la lluvia, crecieron los ríos, soplaron los vientos y golpearon contra aquella casa; pero no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca.
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 Pero todo el que oye estas palabras mías y no las pone en práctica será como un hombre necio que construyó su casa sobre la arena.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 Cayó la lluvia, crecieron los ríos, soplaron los vientos y golpearon contra aquella casa; y cayó, y fue grande su caída.
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
28 Cuando Jesús terminó estas palabras, la gente quedó asombrada de su enseñanza,
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29 porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In the lesson of the Holy Gospel the Lord hath exhorted us to prayer. "Ask," saith He, "and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

What then? Ought we not to blame them that sin? Because Paul also saith this selfsame thing: or rather, there too it is Christ, speaking by Paul, and saying, "Why dost thou judge thy brother?

… all unrighteousness, covetousness, love of money, evil speaking, false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord said in His teaching: "Judge not, that ye be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven unto you; be merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; …
It was, [they affirm,] concerning these that the Lord said, "Seek, and ye shall find," that is, that they should inquire how Nous and Aletheia proceeded from Bythus and Sage; whether Logos and Zoe again derive their origin from these and then, whether Anthropos and Ecclesia proceed from Logos and Zoe.
or how shall they believe without a preacher?" And those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. For those who seek shall find Him, and those who find Him shall praise Him.
