Matthew 7:12 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 7.

8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
