Woe to Unrepentant Cities Matthew 11:20-24  Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin!

MATTHEW’S ACCOUNT Judging Others (Matthew) Matthew 7:1-6  “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For with whatever judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 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 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, a beam is in your own eye? 5 “You hypocrite!

Giving to the Needy Matthew 6:1-4 “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 “Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men.
