Judge not

READER 2

That you be not judged.

READER 1

Judge not?

READER 2

Don't discriminate?

READER 3

Don't use your eyes?

READER 1

Your ears?

READER 2

Your senses?

READER 3

Your intuition?

READER 2

What do you mean, "judge not"?

READER 1

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

READER 2

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,

READER 3

and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

READER 1

If you measure accurately

READER 2

You will be measured accurately, too.

READER 1

If you measure critically,

READER 3

That will be your lot, as well.

READER 1

If you're a fault finder,

READER 2

That will be the way you're measured, too.

READER 1

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye.

READER 2

Tiny

READER 3

Small

READER 2

Infintessimal

READER 3

Teensy, weensy speck

READER 1

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye,and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

READER 3

A plank?

READER 2

A beam?

READER 3

A heavy log?

READER 1

How can you examine your brother's speck when your log looms so large that it fills your own eye.

READER 2

When it keeps you from seeing straight.

READER 3

When it keeps you from judging accurately.

READER 2

When it keeps you from rendering appropriate judgement.

READER 1

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

READER 3

You hypocrite,

READER 1

First take the plank out of your own eye,

READER 2

And then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

READER 1

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

READER 2

Do not by hypercritical

READER 3

Or judgmental

READER 2

But merciful

READER 3

And even-handed

READER 1

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,

READER 2

But we must make judgments.

READER 3

We must discriminate between right and wrong

READER 2

Between what is false

READER 3

And what is genuine.

READER 1

Jesus said,

READER 2

Do not give dogs what is sacred;

READER 3

Do not throw your pearls to pigs.

READER 2

If you do, they may trample them under their feet,

READER 3

And then turn and tear you to pieces.

READER 1

Woe to you if you can't tell a scoffer

READER 2

From a hungry soul,

READER 1

Or an inquirer

READER 3

From a cynical unbeliever.

READER 2

Do not give dogs what is sacred;

READER 3

Do not throw your pearls to pigs.

READER 2

If you do, they may trample them under their feet,

READER 3

And then turn and tear you to pieces.

READER 1

Yes, judge.

READER 2

Judge rightly.

READER 3

Judge with open eyes.

READER 1

Judge with clear eyes.

READER 2

Free from planks.

READER 3

Free from spiritual myopia.

READER 2

Like the hypocrites.

READER 1

Yes judge,

READER 2

But do not be judgmental.

READER 1

Yes, judge,

READER 3

But judge with clear-eyed mercy.

READER 2

Judge the way you'd like to be judged.

READER 1

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

READER 2

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,

READER 3

And with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
