Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 1 Matthew 2 Matthew 3 Matthew 4 Matthew 5 Matthew 6 Matthew 7 Matthew 8 Matthew 9 Matthew 10 Matthew 11 Matthew 12 Matthew 13 Matthew 14 Matthew 15 Matthew 16 Matthew 17 Matthew 18 Matthew 19 Matthew 20 Matthew 21 Matthew 22 Matthew 23 Matthew 24 Matthew 25 Matthew 26 Matthew 27 Matthew 28

Matthew 7 is the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The chapter is the final of three chapter that comprise the Sermon on the Mount.

The chapter deals with several themes, with 7:1-12 dealing with judging and discernment.^[1] Matthew 7:1-5 is the The Mote and the Beam, which has a parallel in Luke 6:37-42.^[2]

At Matthew 7:7 Jesus returns to the subject of prayer, promising that God will respond to them. 7:13 and 7:14 contain the analogy of the broad and narrow roads, a warning of the ease of slipping into damnation.

7:15 continues the warnings about judgment and adds a caution about false prophets by repeating some of the language used by John the Baptist in Matthew 3.

The chapter ends with the Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders in Matthew 7:24–27 which has a parallel Luke 6:46-49.
