Blindness » Blind guides
All ye beasts of the fields, come ye to eat; all ye beasts in the forest Look about, ye blind; they all knew not, they all dumb dogs, they shall not be able to bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. And dogs hard of soul, they knew not fulness; and they are evil, they know not understanding; they all looked to their way, a man to his plunder from his extremity. read more.
Come ye, I will take wine, and we will drink strong drink to excess; and the morrow being as this day, the remainder great exceedingly.

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were scandalized? And having answered, he said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. read more.
Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those. Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.

Jesus Christ » History of » Delivers the "sermon on the mount" (in galilee)
And he having lifted up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Happy the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God Happy the hungering now: for ye shall be satisfied. Happy the weeping now: for ye shall laugh. Happy are ye, when men hate you, and when they separate you, and reproach, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. read more.
Rejoice in that day, and skip: for, behold, your reward much in heaven: for according to these did their fathers to the prophets. But woe to you rich for ye take away your consolation. Woe to you having been filled for ye shall hunger. Woe to you laughing now! for ye shall grieve and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you! for according to these did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say to you hearing, Love your enemies; do good to those hating you, Praise those cursing you, and pray for those threatening you. To him striking thee upon the cheek hold also near the other; and from him taking away thy garments, and thou shouldest not retrench thy coat. And to every one asking thee, do thou give; and from him taking away thy things, re-demand not. And as ye wish that men would do to you, and do you to them likewise. And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them. And if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful do the same. And if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace is to you? for also the sinful lend to the sinful, that they might receive back the like things. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be much, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the graceless and evil. Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate. And judge not, and ye should not be judged: condemn not, and ye should not be condemned: loose ye, and ye shall be loosed. Give, and it shall be given you; good measure, yielded, and shaken, and overflowed, shall they give into your bosom: for with the same measure that ye measure, shall it be measured back to you. And he spake to them a parable, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? For the learner is not above his teacher: and every one set in order shall be as his teacher. And why beholdest thou the dried straw in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Or how Canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, suffer that I cast out the mote in thine eye, thyself not beholding the beam in thine eye? O hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine own eye, and then shalt thou see through to cast out the mote in thy brother's eye. For it is not a good tree making decayed fruit; neither a decayed tree making good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns they gather not figs, nor of the bramble do they harvest the grape. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forward the good thing; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forward the evil thing: for out of the abundance of the heart does his month speak. And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not what I say? Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like to a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and set the foundation upon the rock: and there having been an overflow, the river dashed against that house, and was not able to move it: for it was founded upon the rock. And he having heard, and not having done, is like a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation; against which the river dashed, and immediately it fell; and the breaking of that house was great.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought him a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, They say to him, Teacher, this woman was taken committing adultery, in the very act. In the law Moses commanded us such to be stoned: therefore what sayest thou? read more.
And this said they, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his fingers upon the earth. And when they continued asking him, having lifted up the head, he said to them, Let him faultless among you, first cast a stone at her.

And why judgest thou thy brother? or why also despisest thou thy brother? for we shall all stand at the judgment seat of Christ. For it has been written, I live, says the Lord, for to me shall every knee bend, and every tongue acknowledge to God. So therefore shall each of us give word for himself to God. read more.
Then let us no more judge one another: but rather judge ye this, not to put a stumble or offence to thy brother.
