Matthew 18

1In that hourG5610 cameG4334 the disciplesG3101 unto JesusG2424, sayingG3004, Who thenG686 isG1510 greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772? 2And he calledG4341 to him a little childG3813, and setG2476 him in the midstG3319 of them, 3and saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, Except ye turnG4762, and becomeG1096 as little childrenG3813, ye shall in no wise enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 4Whosoever thereforeG3767 shall humbleG5013 himself as this little childG3813, the same isG1510 the greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 5And whoso shall receiveG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 little childG3813 in my nameG3686 receiveth me: 6but whoso shall causeG4624 oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398 that believeG4100 on me to stumbleG4624, it is profitableG4851 for him that a great millstoneG3458 should be hangedG2910 about his neckG5137, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the seaG2281.

7WoeG3759 unto the worldG2889 because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs beG1510 that the occasions comeG2064; but woeG3759 to that manG444 through whom the occasion cometh! 8And if thy handG5495 or thy footG4228 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, cutG1581 it off, and castG906 it from thee: it isG1510 goodG2570 for thee to enterG1525 into lifeG2222 maimed or halt, rather than having twoG1417 handsG5495 or twoG1417 feetG4228 to beG1510 castG906 into the eternalG166 fireG4442. 9And if thine eyeG3788 causeth thee to stumbleG4624, pluck it out, and castG906 it from thee: it isG1510 goodG2570 for thee to enterG1525 into lifeG2222 with oneG3588 eyeG3788, rather than having twoG1417 eyesG3788 to beG1510 castG906 into the hellG1067 of fireG4442. 10SeeG3708 that ye despiseG2706 not oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398: for I sayG3004 unto you, that in heavenG3772 their angelsG32 do always behold the faceG4383 of my FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 111 12How thinkG1380 ye? if any manG444 have a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them be goneG4198 astrayG4105, doth he not leaveG863 the ninety and nineG1767, and goG4198 unto the mountainsG3735, and seekG2212 that which goeth astrayG4105? 13And if so be that he findG2147 it, verily I sayG3004 unto you, he rejoiceth over it moreG3123 than over the ninety and nineG1767 which have not gone astrayG4105. 14Even so it isG1510 not the will of your FatherG3962 who isG1510 in heavenG3772, that oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398 should perishG622.

15And if thy brotherG80 sinG264 against thee, goG5217, show him his fault between thee and him aloneG3441: if he hearG191 thee, thou hast gainedG2770 thy brotherG80. 16But if he hearG191 thee not, takeG3880 with thee oneG1520 or twoG1417 moreG2089, that at the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 witnessesG3144 or threeG5140 every word may be established. 17And if he refuse to hear them, tellG3004 it unto the churchG1577: and if he refuse to hear the churchG1577 alsoG2532, let him beG1510 unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. 18Verily I sayG3004 unto you, What things soever ye shall bindG1210 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and what things soever ye shall looseG3089 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 loosedG3089 in heavenG3772. 19AgainG3825 I sayG3004 unto you, that if twoG1417 of you shall agreeG4856 on earthG1093 as touching anything that they shall askG154, it shall be done for them of my FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 or threeG5140 areG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in my nameG3686, there amG1510 I in the midstG3319 of them.

21Then cameG4334 PeterG4074 and saidG3004 to him, LordG2962, how oft shall my brotherG80 sinG264 against me, and I forgiveG863 him? until sevenG2034 times? 22JesusG2424 saith unto him, I sayG3004 not unto thee, Until sevenG2033 times; but, Until seventy times sevenG2033. 23Therefore is the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 likened unto a certain kingG935, who would make a reckoning with his servantsG1401. 24And when he had begunG757 to reckon, oneG1520 was broughtG4374 unto him, that owed him tenG3463 thousandG3463 talentsG5007. 25But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to payG591, his lordG2962 commandedG2753 him to be sold, and his wifeG1135, and childrenG5043, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipped him, sayingG3004, Lord, have patienceG3114 with me, and I will payG591 thee all. 27And the lordG2962 of that servantG1401, being moved with compassionG4697, releasedG630 him, and forgaveG863 him the debt. 28But that servantG1401 wentG1831 out, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of his fellow-servants, who owedG3784 him a hundredG1540 shillings: and he laidG2902 holdG2902 on him, and tookG2902 him by the throat, sayingG3004, PayG591 what thou owest. 29So his fellow-servant fellG4098 downG4098 and besought him, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 with me, and I will payG591 thee. 30And he would not: but wentG565 and castG906 him into prisonG5438, till he should payG591 that which was due. 31So when his fellow-servants sawG3708 what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and cameG2064 and told unto their lordG2962 all that was done. 32ThenG5119 his lordG2962 called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 thee all that debtG3782, because thou besoughtest me: 33shouldest not thou alsoG2532 have had mercyG1653 on thy fellow-servant, evenG2532 as I had mercyG1653 on thee? 34And his lordG2962 was wroth, and deliveredG3860 him to the tormentors, till he should payG591 all that was due. 35So shall alsoG2532 my heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 do unto you, if ye forgiveG863 not every oneG1538 his brotherG80 from your heartsG2588.
