Matthew 7:17 and Matthew 7:18 are the seventeenth and eighteenth verses of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This verse continues the section warning against false prophets.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
- 17 Even so every good tree bringeth :forth good
- fruit; but a corrupt :tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
- 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
- can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
- 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit;
- but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
- 18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither
- can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
These two verses closely match each other. Hill notes that the structure here is a classic Semitic way of emphasizing a point: first a statement is said positively and then repeated negatively.[1] The first half of the statement is taken directly from John the Baptist words at Matthew 3:10.[2]
Schweitzer notes how fundamental the call for change is in this verse. Piety does not mean just changing exterior fruits, but rather a radical conversion from one type of being to another. It is, adds Schweitzer, “a transformed heart producing a transformed life.”[3]
In religion, a false prophet is one who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or who uses that gift for evil ends. Often, someone who is considered a "true prophet" by some people is simultaneously considered a "false prophet" by others, even within the same religion as the "prophet" in question. The term is sometimes applied outside religion to describe someone who fervently promotes a theory that the speaker thinks is false.

女性次々襲う？サウジ王子逮捕＝ビバリーヒルズの邸宅で－米紙
米紙ロサンゼルス・タイムズ（電子版）は２５日、サウジアラビアの王子がビバリーヒルズの邸宅で女性に相次ぎ性的暴行を加えていた疑いがあると報じた。この王子は２３日、被害女性の１人に対する不法監禁、性的暴行、脅迫などの容疑で逮捕されているが、警察は２５日、「王子に襲われたと訴える被害者が他にも複数いる」と述べた。
ロサンゼルス郡の裁判所には、既に３人の女性から訴えが届けられており、２１～２３日に連続して犯行に及んでいた可能性がある。
この王子は、２０代後半のマジド・アブドラジズ・アルサウド容疑者。２３日に「血まみれの女性が助けを求めて叫びながら、邸宅の塀を乗り越えて逃げようとしている」と近隣住民から警察に通報があった。王子は翌２４日、３０万ドル（約３６００万円）を支払って保釈されている。
