21:4 Ahaz – 2Kin 16:10-13 - removed the alter of Yahweh’s instruction with a copy of one he had seen in Damascus. Now Manasseh goes one step further. He actually built altars inside the House of the Lord itself. And notice “altars” – that is more than one.

1. In those days <3117> was Hezekiah <2396> sick <2470>(8804) unto death <4191>(8800). And the prophet <5030> Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <531> came <935>(8799) to him, and said <559>(8799) unto him, Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, Set thine house <1004> in order <6680>(8761); for thou shalt die <4191>(8801), and not live <2421>(8799).
2. Then he turned <5437>(8686) his face <6440> to the wall <7023>, and prayed <6419>(8691) unto the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800),
3. I beseech <577> thee, O LORD <3068>, remember <2142>(8798) now how I have walked <1980>(8694) before <6440> thee in truth <571> and with a perfect <8003> heart <3824>, and have done <6213>(8804) that which is good <2896> in thy sight <5869>. And Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058>(8799) <1065> sore <1419>.
4. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah <3470> was gone out <3318>(8804) into the middle <8484> court <2691>(8675) <5892>, that the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came to him, saying <559>(8800),
5. Turn again <7725>(8798), and tell <559>(8804) Hezekiah <2396> the captain <5057> of my people <5971>, Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, the God <430> of David <1732> thy father <1>, I have heard <8085>(8804) thy prayer <8605>, I have seen <7200>(8804) thy tears <1832>: behold, I will heal <7495>(8802) thee: on the third <7992> day <3117> thou shalt go up <5927>(8799) unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.
6. And I will add <3254>(8689) unto thy days <3117> fifteen <2568> <6240> years <8141>; and I will deliver <5337>(8686) thee and this city <5892> out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Assyria <804>; and I will defend <1598>(8804) this city <5892> for mine own sake, and for my servant <5650> David's <1732> sake.
7. And Isaiah <3470> said <559>(8799), Take <3947>(8798) a lump <1690> of figs <8384>. And they took <3947>(8799) and laid <7760>(8799) it on the boil <7822>, and he recovered <2421>(8799).
8. And Hezekiah <2396> said <559>(8799) unto Isaiah <3470>, What shall be the sign <226> that the LORD <3068> will heal <7495>(8799) me, and that I shall go up <5927>(8804) into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> the third <7992> day <3117>?
9. And Isaiah <3470> said <559>(8799), This sign <226> shalt thou have of the LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do <6213>(8799) the thing <1697> that he hath spoken <1696>(8765): shall the shadow <6738> go forward <1980>(8804) ten <6235> degrees <4609>, or go back <7725>(8799) ten <6235> degrees <4609>?
10. And Hezekiah <3169> answered <559>(8799), It is a light thing <7043>(8738) for the shadow <6738> to go down <5186>(8800) ten <6235> degrees <4609>: nay, but let the shadow <6738> return <7725>(8799) backward <322> ten <6235> degrees <4609>.
11. And Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> cried <7121>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>: and he brought <7725>(8686) the shadow <6738> ten <6235> degrees <4609> backward <322>, by <4609> which it had gone down <3381>(8804) in the dial <4609> of Ahaz <271>.
12. At that time <6256> Berodachbaladan <1255>, the son <1121> of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <894>, sent <7971>(8804) letters <5612> and a present <4503> unto Hezekiah <2396>: for he had heard <8085>(8804) that Hezekiah <2396> had been sick <2470>(8804).
13. And Hezekiah <2396> hearkened <8085>(8799) unto them, and shewed <7200>(8686) them all the house <1004> of his precious things <5238>, the silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices <1314>, and the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and all the house <1004> of his armour <3627>, and all that was found <4672>(8738) in his treasures <214>: there was nothing <1697> in his house <1004>, nor in all his dominion <4475>, that Hezekiah <2396> shewed <7200>(8689) them not.
14. Then came <935>(8799) Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> unto king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <559>(8799) unto him, What said <559>(8804) these men <582>? and from whence <370> came <935>(8799) they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said <559>(8799), They are come <935>(8804) from a far <7350> country <776>, even from Babylon <894>.
15. And he said <559>(8799), What have they seen <7200>(8804) in thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered <559>(8799), All the things that are in mine house <1004> have they seen <7200>(8804): there is nothing <1697> among my treasures <214> that I have not shewed <7200>(8689) them.
16. And Isaiah <3470> said <559>(8799) unto Hezekiah <2396>, Hear <8085>(8798) the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.
17. Behold, the days <3117> come <935>(8802), that all that is in thine house <1004>, and that which thy fathers <1> have laid up in store <686>(8804) unto this day <3117>, shall be carried <5375>(8738) into Babylon <894>: nothing <1697> shall be left <3498>(8735), saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>.
18. And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318>(8799) from thee, which thou shalt beget <3205>(8686), shall they take away <3947>(8799); and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace <1964> of the king <4428> of Babylon <894>.
19. Then said <559>(8799) Hezekiah <2396> unto Isaiah <3470>, Good <2896> is the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which thou hast spoken <1696>(8765). And he said <559>(8799), Is it not good, if peace <7965> and truth <571> be in my days <3117>?
20. And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Hezekiah <2396>, and all his might <1369>, and how he made <6213>(8804) a pool <1295>, and a conduit <8585>, and brought <935>(8686) water <4325> into the city <5892>, are they not written <3789>(8803) in the book <5612> of the chronicles <1697> <3117> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>?
21. And Hezekiah <2396> slept <7901>(8799) with his fathers <1>: and Manasseh <4519> his son <1121> reigned <4427>(8799) in his stead.
Notes that are not verse specific
Throughout this chapter I am left with the feeling that our language cannot describe what Ezekiel saw. This may just be my personal inability, but I suspect that we will not understand fully until we are given a pure language, design for describing those things which are eternal. Zeph 3:9

10 The appearance of the glory of God contrasts starkly with the appearance of the six men with destroying weapons in their hands in Eze 9
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2006 Reply to Peter
V.2 When we go to Jeremiah's prophesy (15:14) it is clear that the fire represents the judgement of the God of Abraham upon His people. The man clothed in linen, in taking the fire and throwing it upon the city, is pouring out God's judgements.

10:14 The way in which the cherubim are described here – and in the rest of the chapter – matches exactly what Ezekiel was shown at the beginning of his ministry. There is significance in this repetition. Ezekiel, and we, are being shown that the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans was God’s work and He would not remain in a Godless city.
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2015 Reply to Peter
v. 14 Here it says the first face was the face of a cherub, the other three are the face of a man, an eagle and a lion. Yet in Ezek 1:10 the four faces are that of a man, a lion, and eagle and an ox. Why the change in the description of the faces between the 2 visions, which in all other respects is exactly the same? Is there a special relationship between the cherub and an ox?

1. Then I looked <7200>(8799), and, behold, in the firmament <7549> that was above the head <7218> of the cherubims <3742> there appeared <7200>(8738) over them as it were a sapphire <5601> stone <68>, as the appearance <4758> of the likeness <1823> of a throne <3678>.
2. And he spake <559>(8799) unto the man <376> clothed <3847>(8803) with linen <906>, and said <559>(8799), Go in <935>(8798) between <996> the wheels <1534>, even under the cherub <3742>, and fill <4390>(8761) thine hand <2651> with coals <1513> of fire <784> from between <996> the cherubims <3742>, and scatter <2236>(8798) them over the city <5892>. And he went in <935>(8799) in my sight <5869>.
3. Now the cherubims <3742> stood <5975>(8802) on the right side <3225> of the house <1004>, when the man <376> went in <935>(8800); and the cloud <6051> filled <4390>(8804) the inner <6442> court <2691>.
4. Then the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> went up <7311>(8799) from the cherub <3742>, and stood over the threshold <4670> of the house <1004>; and the house <1004> was filled <4390>(8735) with the cloud <6051>, and the court <2691> was full <4390>(8804) of the brightness <5051> of the LORD'S <3068> glory <3519>.
5. And the sound <6963> of the cherubims <3742>' wings <3671> was heard <8085>(8738) even to the outer <2435> court <2691>, as the voice <6963> of the Almighty <7706> God <410> when he speaketh <1696>(8763).
6. And it came to pass, that when he had commanded <6680>(8763) the man <376> clothed <3847>(8803) with linen <906>, saying <559>(8800), Take <3947>(8798) fire <784> from between the wheels <1534>, from between the cherubims <3742>; then he went in <935>(8799), and stood <5975>(8799) beside <681> the wheels <212>.
7. And one cherub <3742> stretched forth <7971>(8799) his hand <3027> from between the cherubims <3742> unto the fire <784> that was between the cherubims <3742>, and took <5375>(8799) thereof, and put <5414>(8799) it into the hands <2651> of him that was clothed <3847>(8803) with linen <906>: who took <3947>(8799) it, and went out <3318>(8799).
8. And there appeared <7200>(8735) in the cherubims <3742> the form <8403> of a man's <120> hand <3027> under their wings <3671>.
9. And when I looked <7200>(8799), behold the four <702> wheels <212> by <681> the cherubims <3742>, one <259> wheel <212> by one <259> cherub <3742>, and another <259> wheel <212> by another <259> cherub <3742>: and the appearance <4758> of the wheels <212> was as the colour <5869> of a beryl <8658> stone <68>.
10. And as for their appearances <4758>, they four <702> had one <259> likeness <1823>, as if a wheel <212> had been in the midst <8432> of a wheel <212>.
11. When they went <3212>(8800), they went <3212>(8800) upon their four <702> sides <7253>; they turned <5437>(8735) not as they went <3212>(8800), but to the place <4725> whither the head <7218> looked <6437>(8799) they followed <3212>(8799) <310> it; they turned <5437>(8735) not as they went <3212>(8799).
12. And their whole body <1320>, and their backs <1354>, and their hands <3027>, and their wings <3671>, and the wheels <212>, were full <4392> of eyes <5869> round about <5439>, even the wheels <212> that they four <702> had.
13. As for the wheels <212>, it was cried <7121>(8795) unto them in my hearing <241>, O wheel <1534>.
14. And every one <259> had four <702> faces <6440>: the first <259> face <6440> was the face <6440> of a cherub <3742>, and the second <8145> face <6440> was the face <6440> of a man <120>, and the third <7992> the face <6440> of a lion <738>, and the fourth <7243> the face <6440> of an eagle <5404>.
15. And the cherubims <3742> were lifted up <7426>(8735). This is the living creature <2416> that I saw <7200>(8804) by the river <5104> of Chebar <3529>.
16. And when the cherubims <3742> went <3212>(8800), the wheels <212> went <3212>(8799) by them <681>: and when the cherubims <3742> lifted up <5375>(8800) their wings <3671> to mount up <7311>(8800) from the earth <776>, the same wheels <212> also <1992> turned <5437>(8735) not from beside <681> them.
17. When they stood <5975>(8800), these stood <5975>(8799); and when they were lifted up <7311>(8800), these lifted up <7426>(8735) themselves also: for the spirit <7307> of the living creature <2416> was in them.
18. Then the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> departed <3318>(8799) from off the threshold <4670> of the house <1004>, and stood <5975>(8799) over the cherubims <3742>.
19. And the cherubims <3742> lifted up <5375>(8799) their wings <3671>, and mounted up <7426>(8735) from the earth <776> in my sight <5869>: when they went out <3318>(8800), the wheels <212> also were beside <5980> them, and every one stood <5975>(8799) at the door <6607> of the east <6931> gate <8179> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>; and the glory <3519> of the God <430> of Israel <3478> was over them above <4605>.
20. This is the living creature <2416> that I saw <7200>(8804) under the God <430> of Israel <3478> by the river <5104> of Chebar <3529>; and I knew <3045>(8799) that they were the cherubims <3742>.
21. Every one <259> had four <702> faces <6440> apiece <259>, and every one <259> four <702> wings <3671>; and the likeness <1823> of the hands <3027> of a man <120> was under their wings <3671>.
22. And the likeness <1823> of their faces <6440> was the same <1992> faces <6440> which I saw <7200>(8804) by the river <5104> of Chebar <3529>, their appearances <4758> and themselves: they went <3212>(8799) every one <376> straight <5676> forward <6440>.
Notes that are not verse specific
From the first day of their call the disciples began the challenge of putting away the "old man" Adam, and putting on the "new man" Christ. Rooting out all forms of pride and replacing it with humility. Bringing into our lives the commandments that Christ placed upon the disciples is our discipleship today. They learned to suffer wrong, never to resist evil. They learned to trust in God with all the problems they faced. Regardless how difficult it may seem to us, we must always remember that each one of us can overcome the ways of the flesh, otherwise we would have never been called.

1. And <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633) on <1722> the second <1207> <0> sabbath <4521> after the first <1207>, that he <846> went <1279>(5738) through <1223> the corn fields <4702>; and <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> plucked <5089>(5707) the ears of corn <4719>, and <2532> did eat <2068>(5707), rubbing <5597>(5723) them in their hands <5495>.
2. And <1161> certain <5100> of the Pharisees <5330> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> do ye <4160>(5719) that which <3739> is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748) to do <4160>(5721) on <1722> the sabbath days <4521>?
3. And <2532> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) them <4314> <846> said <2036>(5627), Have ye <314> <0> not <3761> <0> read <314>(5627) so much as <3761> this <5124>, what <3739> David <1138> did <4160>(5656), when <3698> himself <846> was an hungred <3983>(5656), and <2532> they which <3588> were <5607>(5752) with <3326> him <846>;
4. How <5613> he went <1525>(5627) into <1519> the house <3624> of God <2316>, and <2532> did take <2983>(5627) and <2532> eat <5315>(5627) the shewbread <740> <4286>, and <2532> gave <1325>(5656) also <2532> to them that were with <3326> him <846>; which <3739> it is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748) to eat <5315>(5629) but for <1508> the priests <2409> alone <3441>?
5. And <2532> he said <3004>(5707) unto them <846>, That <3754> the Son <5207> of man <444> is <2076>(5748) Lord <2962> also <2532> of the sabbath <4521>.
6. And <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633) also <2532> on <1722> another <2087> sabbath <4521>, that he <846> entered <1525>(5629) into <1519> the synagogue <4864> and <2532> taught <1321>(5721): and <2532> there <1563> was <2258>(5713) a man <444> whose <2532> <846> right <1188> hand <5495> was <2258>(5713) withered <3584>.
7. And <1161> the scribes <1122> and <2532> Pharisees <5330> watched <3906>(5707) him <846>, whether <1487> he would heal <2323>(5692) on <1722> the sabbath day <4521>; that <2443> they might find <2147>(5627) an accusation <2724> against him <846>.
8. But <1161> he knew <1492>(5715) their <846> thoughts <1261>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627) to the man <444> which <3588> had <2192>(5723) the withered <3584> hand <5495>, Rise up <1453>(5669), and <2532> stand forth <2476>(5628) in <1519> the midst <3319>. And <1161> he arose <450>(5631) and stood forth <2476>(5627).
9. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> unto <4314> them <846>, I will ask <1905>(5692) you <5209> one thing <5101>; Is it lawful <1832>(5748) on the sabbath days <4521> to do good <15>(5658), or <2228> to do evil <2554>(5658)? to save <4982>(5658) life <5590>, or <2228> to destroy <622>(5658) it?
10. And <2532> looking round about upon <4017>(5671) them <846> all <3956>, he said <2036>(5627) unto the man <444>, Stretch forth <1614>(5657) thy <4675> hand <5495>. And <1161> he did <4160>(5656) so <3779>: and <2532> his <846> hand <5495> was restored <600>(5681) whole <5199> as <5613> the other <243>.
11. And <1161> they were filled <4130>(5681) with madness <454>; and <2532> communed <1255>(5707) one with another <4314> <240> what <5101> <302> they might do <4160>(5659) to Jesus <2424>.
12. And <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633) in <1722> those <5025> days <2250>, that he went out <1831>(5627) into <1519> a mountain <3735> to pray <4336>(5664), and <2532> continued all night <1273>(5723) <2258>(5713) in <1722> prayer <4335> to God <2316>.
13. And <2532> when <3753> it was <1096>(5633) day <2250>, he called <4377>(5656) unto him his <848> disciples <3101>: and <2532> of <575> them <846> he chose <1586>(5671) twelve <1427>, whom <3739> also <2532> he named <3687>(5656) apostles <652>;
14. Simon <4613>, (whom <3739> he also <2532> named <3687>(5656) Peter <4074>,) and <2532> Andrew <406> his <846> brother <80>, James <2385> and <2532> John <2491>, Philip <5376> and <2532> Bartholomew <918>,
15. Matthew <3156> and <2532> Thomas <2381>, James <2385> the <3588> son of Alphaeus <256>, and <2532> Simon <4613> called <2564>(5746) Zelotes <2208>,
16. And Judas <2455> the brother of James <2385>, and <2532> Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, which <3739> also <2532> was <1096>(5633) the traitor <4273>.
17. And <2532> he came down <2597>(5631) with <3326> them <846>, and stood <2476>(5627) in <1909> the plain <3977> <5117>, and <2532> the company <3793> of his <846> disciples <3101>, and <2532> a great <4183> multitude <4128> of people <2992> out of <575> all <3956> Judaea <2449> and <2532> Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> from the sea coast <3882> of Tyre <5184> and <2532> Sidon <4605>, which <3739> came <2064>(5627) to hear <191>(5658) him <846>, and <2532> to be healed <2390>(5683) of <575> their <848> diseases <3554>;
18. And <2532> they that were vexed <3791>(5746) with <5259> unclean <169> spirits <4151>: and <2532> they were healed <2323>(5712).
19. And <2532> the whole <3956> multitude <3793> sought <2212>(5707) to touch <680>(5733) him <846>: for <3754> there went <1831>(5711) virtue <1411> out <3844> of him <846>, and <2532> healed <2390>(5711) them all <3956>.
20. And <2532> he <846> lifted up <1869>(5660) his <848> eyes <3788> on <1519> his <848> disciples <3101>, and said <3004>(5707), Blessed <3107> be ye poor <4434>: for <3754> yours <5212> is <2076>(5748) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
21. Blessed <3107> are ye that hunger <3983>(5723) now <3568>: for <3754> ye shall be filled <5526>(5701). Blessed <3107> are ye that weep <2799>(5723) now <3568>: for <3754> ye shall laugh <1070>(5692).
22. Blessed <3107> are ye <2075>(5748), when <3752> men <444> shall hate <3404>(5661) you <5209>, and <2532> when <3752> they shall separate <873>(5661) you <5209> from their company, and <2532> shall reproach <3679>(5661) you, and <2532> cast out <1544>(5632) your <5216> name <3686> as <5613> evil <4190>, for the Son <5207> of man's <444> sake <1752>.
23. Rejoice ye <5463>(5720) in <1722> that <1565> day <2250>, and <2532> leap for joy <4640>(5657): for <1063>, behold <2400>(5628), your <5216> reward <3408> is great <4183> in <1722> heaven <3772>: for <1063> in <2596> the like manner <5024> did <4160>(5707) their <846> fathers <3962> unto the prophets <4396>.
24. But <4133> woe <3759> unto you <5213> that are rich <4145>! for <3754> ye have received <568>(5719) your <5216> consolation <3874>.
25. Woe <3759> unto you <5213> that are full <1705>(5772)! for <3754> ye shall hunger <3983>(5692). Woe <3759> unto you <5213> that laugh <1070>(5723) now <3568>! for <3754> ye shall mourn <3996>(5692) and <2532> weep <2799>(5692).
26. Woe <3759> unto you <5213>, when <3752> all <3956> men <444> shall speak <2036>(5632) well <2573> of you <5209>! for <1063> so <5024> <2596> did <4160>(5707) their <846> fathers <3962> to the false prophets <5578>.
27. But <235> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213> which <3588> hear <191>(5723), Love <25>(5720) your <5216> enemies <2190>, do <4160>(5720) good <2573> to them which <3588> hate <3404>(5723) you <5209>,
28. Bless <2127>(5720) them that curse <2672>(5740) you <5213>, and <2532> pray <4336>(5737) for <5228> them which despitefully use <1908>(5723) you <5209>.
29. And unto him that smiteth <5180>(5723) thee <4571> on <1909> the one cheek <4600> offer <3930>(5720) also <2532> the other <243>; and <2532> him <575> that taketh away <142>(5723) thy <4675> cloke <2440> forbid <2967>(5661) not <3361> to take thy coat <5509> also <2532>.
30. <1161> Give <1325>(5720) to every man <3956> that asketh <154>(5723) of thee <4571>; and <2532> of <575> him that taketh away <142>(5723) thy goods <4674> ask <523> <0> them not <3361> again <523>(5720).
31. And <2532> as <2531> ye would <2309>(5719) that <2443> men <444> should do <4160>(5725) to you <5213>, do <4160>(5720) ye <5210> also <2532> to them <846> likewise <3668>.
32. For <2532> if <1487> ye love <25>(5719) them which love <25>(5723) you <5209>, what <4169> thank <5485> have <2076>(5748) ye <5213>? for <1063> sinners <268> also <2532> love <25>(5723) those that love <25>(5719) them <846>.
33. And <2532> if <1437> ye do good <15>(5725) to them which do good <15>(5723) to you <5209>, what <4169> thank <5485> have <2076>(5748) ye <5213>? for <1063> sinners <268> also do <4160>(5719) even <2532> the same <846>.
34. And <2532> if <1437> ye lend <1155>(5725) to them of <3844> whom <3739> ye hope <1679>(5719)(5625) <1679>(5725) to receive <618>(5629), what <4169> thank <5485> have <2076>(5748) ye <5213>? for <1063> sinners <268> also <2532> lend <1155>(5719) to sinners <268>, to <2443> receive <618> <0> as much <2470> again <618>(5632).
35. But <4133> love ye <25>(5720) your <5216> enemies <2190>, and <2532> do good <15>(5720), and <2532> lend <1155>(5720), hoping <560> <0> for nothing <3367> again <560>(5723); and <2532> your <5216> reward <3408> shall be <2071>(5704) great <4183>, and <2532> ye shall be <2071>(5704) the children <5207> of the Highest <5310>: for <3754> he <846> is <2076>(5748) kind <5543> unto <1909> the unthankful <884> and <2532> to the evil <4190>.
36. Be ye <1096>(5737) therefore <3767> merciful <3629>, as <2531> your <5216> Father <3962> also <2532> is <2076>(5748) merciful <3629>.
37. <2532> Judge <2919>(5720) not <3361>, and <2532> ye shall <2919> <0> not <3364> be judged <2919>(5686): condemn <2613>(5720) not <3361>, and <2532> ye shall <2613> <0> not <3364> be condemned <2613>(5686): forgive <630>(5720), and <2532> ye shall be forgiven <630>(5701):
38. Give <1325>(5720), and <2532> it shall be given <1325>(5701) unto you <5213>; good <2570> measure <3358>, pressed down <4085>(5772), and <2532> shaken together <4531>(5772), and <2532> running over <5240>(5746), shall men give <1325>(5692) into <1519> your <5216> bosom <2859>. For <1063> with the same <846> measure <3358> that <3739> ye mete withal <3354>(5719) it shall be measured <488> <0> to you <5213> again <488>(5701).
39. And <1161> he spake <2036>(5627) a parable <3850> unto them <846>, <3385> Can <1410>(5736) the blind <5185> lead <3594>(5721) the blind <5185>? shall they <297> <0> not <3780> both <297> fall <4098>(5699) into <1519> the ditch <999>?
40. The disciple <3101> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> above <5228> his <848> master <1320>: but <1161> every one <3956> that is perfect <2675>(5772) shall be <2071>(5704) as <5613> his <846> master <1320>.
41. And <1161> why <5101> beholdest thou <991>(5719) the mote <2595> that is in <1722> thy <4675> brother's <80> eye <3788>, but <1161> perceivest <2657>(5719) not <3756> the beam <1385> that is in <1722> thine own <2398> eye <3788>?
42. Either <2228> how <4459> canst thou <1410>(5736) say <3004>(5721) to thy <4675> brother <80>, Brother <80>, let me <863>(5628) pull out <1544>(5632) the mote <2595> that is in <1722> thine <4675> eye <3788>, when thou <991> <0> thyself <846> beholdest <991>(5723) not <3756> the beam <1385> that is in <1722> thine <4675> own eye <3788>? Thou hypocrite <5273>, cast out <1544>(5628) first <4412> the beam <1385> out of <1537> thine own <4675> eye <3788>, and <2532> then <5119> shalt thou see clearly <1227>(5692) to pull out <1544>(5629) the mote <2595> that is in <1722> thy <4675> brother's <80> eye <3788>.
43. For <1063> a good <2570> tree <1186> bringeth <2076>(5748) <4160> <0> not <3756> forth <4160>(5723) corrupt <4550> fruit <2590>; neither <3761> doth <4160> <0> a corrupt <4550> tree <1186> bring forth <4160>(5723) good <2570> fruit <2590>.
44. For <1063> every <1538> tree <1186> is known <1097>(5743) by <1537> his own <2398> fruit <2590>. For <1063> of <1537> thorns <173> men do not <3756> gather <4816>(5719) figs <4810>, nor <3761> of <1537> a bramble bush <942> gather they <5166>(5719) grapes <4718>.
45. A good <18> man <444> out of <1537> the good <18> treasure <2344> of his <848> heart <2588> bringeth forth <4393>(5719) that which is good <18>; and <2532> an evil <4190> man <444> out of <1537> the evil <4190> treasure <2344> of his <848> heart <2588> bringeth forth <4393>(5719) that which is evil <4190>: for <1063> of <1537> the abundance <4051> of the heart <2588> his <846> mouth <4750> speaketh <2980>(5719).
46. And <1161> why <5101> call ye <2564>(5719) me <3165>, Lord <2962>, Lord <2962>, and <2532> do <4160>(5719) not <3756> the things which <3739> I say <3004>(5719)?
47. Whosoever <3956> cometh <2064>(5740) to <4314> me <3165>, and <2532> heareth <191>(5723) my <3450> sayings <3056>, and <2532> doeth <4160>(5723) them <846>, I will shew <5263>(5692) you <5213> to whom <5101> he is <2076>(5748) like <3664>:
48. He is <2076>(5748) like <3664> a man <444> which <3739> built <3618>(5723) an house <3614>, and <2532> digged <4626>(5656) deep <900>(5656), and <2532> laid <5087>(5656) the foundation <2310> on <1909> a rock <4073>: and <1161> when the flood <4132> arose <1096>(5637), the stream <4215> beat vehemently <4366>(5656) upon that <1565> house <3614>, and <2532> could <2480>(5656) not <3756> shake <4531>(5658) it <846>: for <1063> it was founded <2311>(5718) upon <1909> a rock <4073>.
49. But <1161> he that heareth <191>(5660), and <2532> doeth <4160>(5660) not <3361>, is <2076>(5748) like <3664> a man <444> that without <5565> a foundation <2310> built <3618>(5660) an house <3614> upon <1909> the earth <1093>; against <4366> <0> which <3739> the stream <4215> did beat vehemently <4366>(5656), and <2532> immediately <2112> it fell <4098>(5627); and <2532> the ruin <4485> of that <1565> house <3614> was <1096>(5633) great <3173>.
