1 »No juzguen a los demás, para que Dios no los juzgue a ustedes,
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
2 porque de la manera como juzguen a otros, así Dios los juzgará a ustedes; Dios los va a tratar de la misma forma en que ustedes traten a los demás.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 ¿Cómo te atreves a mirar la paja que está en el ojo de tu hermano, si tienes una viga en el tuyo?
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 le pedirás a tu amigo que te deje sacarle la paja que tiene en su ojo, si la viga que tienes en el tuyo no te deja ver?
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! Sácate primero la viga que tienes en tu ojo, para que puedas ver bien cuando estés sacando 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 le den lo que es santo a los perros, ni echen perlas delante de los puercos; porque son capaces de pisotearlas y luego dar media vuelta y atacarlos a ustedes.
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 concederá lo que pidan. Busquen y hallarán. Toquen y se les abrirá la puerta.
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; y el que busca, halla; 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 ¿Si su hijo le pide pan, ¿quién de ustedes será capaz de darle una piedra?
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Y si le pide pescado, seguro que no le dará una serpiente venenosa, ¿verdad?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 Pues si ustedes que son malos saben dar buenas cosas a sus hijos, ¡cuánto más su Padre que está en los cielos dará buenas cosas a los que se las 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 »Haz a otros todo lo que quieras que te hagan a ti. En esto se resumen las enseñanzas de la ley y de 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 espacioso el camino que conducen a la perdición; por eso muchísimas personas los prefieren.
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 En cambio, estrecha es la puerta y angosto el camino que conducen a la vida, y muy pocas personas los hallan.
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 maestros que se les acercan disfrazados de ovejas, pero en realidad son lobos capaces de destrozarlos.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 De la misma manera que uno puede identificar un árbol por los frutos que lleva, así podrán identificar a esos falsos profetas por la forma en que se comportan. ¿Quién confunde una vid con un espino o una higuera con abrojos?
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
17 El buen árbol produce buenos frutos; y el malo, malos frutos.
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 Es imposible que un buen árbol produzca frutos desagradables. Por otro lado, es imposible que un mal árbol produzca buenos frutos.
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Por eso los árboles que dan malos frutos se cortan y se queman.
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Igualmente, una persona se conoce por las acciones que realiza.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 »No todos los que se dirijan a mí llamándome “Señor, Señor”, entrarán en el reino de los cielos. Allí sólo entrarán los que obedezcan a mi Padre que está en el cielo.
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 El día del juicio muchos me dirán: “Señor, nosotros predicamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre echamos fuera demonios y realizamos muchísimos milagros”.
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 Pero yo les responderé: “A ustedes nunca los conocí. Apártense de mí, porque sus obras son malignas”.
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
24 »Todo el que presta atención a mis enseñanzas y las pone en práctica es tan sabio como el hombre que edificó su casa sobre una roca bien firme.
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 Cuando llegaron las lluvias, las inundaciones y los huracanes, la casa no se derrumbó porque estaba edificada sobre 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 el que oye mis enseñanzas y no las pone en práctica, es como el tonto que edificó 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 Cuando llegaron las lluvias, las inundaciones y los fuertes vientos, la casa se derrumbó y su ruina fue irreparable».
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 de impartir estas enseñanzas, la multitud que lo había escuchado quedó admirada,
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29 porque enseñaba como alguien que tiene gran 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.
