- 1 At the same time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
- 2 And Jesus called a little child to Himself, and set him in the middle of them,
- 3 and said, “I say to you truthfully, unless you are converted, and become as little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
- 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself like this little child, they are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
- 5 And whoever receives one little child like this in my name receives Me.
- 6 But whoever causes one of these little ones which believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
- 7 Woe unto the world because of stumbling blocks! Because stumbling blocks must come, but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
- 8 So if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off, and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be thrown into everlasting fire.
- 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be thrown into hell fire.
- 10 Beware that you do not have contempt for one of these little ones, because I say to you that in heaven, their angels always see at the face of My Father who is in heaven.
- 11 For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
- 12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doth he not leave the ninety-nine, and go to the mountains, to seek the one that has gone astray?
- 13 And if he happens to find it, I say to you truthfully, he rejoices more over that sheep, than the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
- 14 Likewise it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
- 15 “But if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
- 16 But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’
- 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to listen to the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax collector.
- 18 “I say to you truthfully, Whatever you will bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
- 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them of My Father who is in heaven.
- 20 Because where two or three are gathered together in My name, am I there in the midst of them.”
- 21 Then came Peter to him and said, “Lord, how frequently can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
- 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, Up to seven times: but, up to seventy times seven.
- 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven like a certain king, who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
- 24 And when he had began to evaluate, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
- 25 But since he had no means to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he owned, and that payment be made.
- 26 So the servant fell down and worshipped him, saying, ‘Master, bear with me, and I will repay everything to you.’
- 27 Then the Master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
- 28 “But the servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him a hundred denarii: and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
- 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, ‘Bear with me, and I will repay everything to you.’
- 30 And he would not: but went and put him into jail, until he should pay the debt.
- 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very sad, and came and told their master all that have been done.
- 32 Then his master, after he had summoned him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
- 33 Should not you have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
- 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
- 35 “So likewise will my heavenly Father do to you if each of you, from his heart does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
