36 Sed pues misericordiosos, como también vuestro Padre es misericordioso.

37 No juzguéis, y no seréis juzgados: no condenéis, y no seréis condenados: perdonad, y seréis perdonados.

38 Dad, y se os dará; medida buena, apretada, remecida, y rebosando darán en vuestro seno: porque con la misma medida que midiereis, os será vuelto á medir.

39 Y les decía una parábola: ¿Puede el ciego guiar al ciego? ¿No caerán ambos en el hoyo?

40 El discípulo no es sobre su maestro; mas cualquiera que fuere como el maestro, será perfecto.
