Matthew 18

1In that hourG5610 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 sayingG3004, Who thenG686 isG1510 greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772? 2And Jesus having calledG4341 a little childG3813 to [him], setG2476 it in their midstG3319, 3and saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 to you, Unless ye are converted and becomeG1096 as little childrenG3813, ye will not at all enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772. 4Whoever thereforeG3767 shall humbleG5013 himself as this little childG3813, he isG1510 the greatestG3173 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772; 5and whosoever shall receiveG1209 oneG1520 suchG5108 little childG3813 in my nameG3686, receivesG1209 me. 6But whosoever shall offendG4624 oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in me, it were profitableG4851 for him that a great millstoneG3458 had been hangedG2910 upon his neckG5137 and he be sunk in the depths of the seaG2281. 7WoeG3759 to the worldG2889 because of offences! For it must needs beG1510 that offences comeG2064; yetG4133 woeG3759 to that manG444 by whom the offence comesG2064! 8And if thy handG5495 or thy footG4228 offendG4624 thee, cutG1581 it off and castG906 [it] from thee; it isG1510 goodG2570 for thee to enterG1525 into lifeG2222 lameG5560 or maimed, [rather] than having twoG1417 handsG5495 or twoG1417 feetG4228 to beG1510 castG906 into eternalG166 fireG4442. 9And if thine eyeG3788 offendG4624 thee, pluck it out and castG906 [it] from thee; it isG1510 goodG2570 for thee to enterG1525 into lifeG2222 one-eyed, [rather] than having twoG1417 eyesG3788 to beG1510 castG906 into the hellG1067 of fireG4442. 10SeeG3708 that ye do not despiseG2706 oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398; for I sayG3004 unto you that their angelsG32 in [the] heavensG3772 continually behold the faceG4383 of my FatherG3962 who is in [the] heavensG3772. 11For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost. 12What thinkG1380 ye? If a certainG5100 manG444 should have a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them be goneG4198 astrayG4105, does he not, leavingG863 the ninety and nineG1767 on the mountainsG3735, goG4198 and seekG2212 the oneG1520 that has goneG4198 astrayG4105? 13And if it should comeG1096 to passG1096 that he findG2147 it, verily I sayG3004 unto you, he rejoicesG5463 moreG3123 because of it than because of the ninety and nineG1767 not gone astrayG4105. 14So it isG1510 not the will of your FatherG3962 who isG1510 in [the] heavensG3772 that oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398 should perishG622. 15But if thy brotherG80 sinG264 against thee, goG5217, reprove him between thee and him aloneG3441. If he hearG191 thee, thou hast gainedG2770 thy brotherG80. 16But if he do not hearG191 [thee], takeG3880 with thee oneG1520 or twoG1417 besides, that every matter may standG2476 upon the word of twoG1417 witnessesG3144 or of threeG5140. 17But if he will not listenG3878 to them, tellG3004 it to the assemblyG1577; and if alsoG2532 he will not listenG3878 to the assemblyG1577, let him beG1510 to thee as oneG3588 of the nations and a tax-gatherer. 18Verily I sayG3004 to you, Whatsoever ye shall bindG1210 on the earthG1093 shall beG1510 boundG1210 in heavenG3772, and whatsoever ye shall looseG3089 on the earthG1093 shall beG1510 loosedG3089 in heavenG3772. 19AgainG3825 I sayG3004 to you, that if twoG1417 of you shall agreeG4856 on the earthG1093 concerningG4012 any matterG4229, whatsoever it may be that they shall askG154, it shall comeG1096 to them from my FatherG3962 who is in [the] heavensG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 or threeG5140 areG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 unto my nameG3686, there amG1510 I in the midstG3319 of them. 21Then PeterG4074 cameG4334 to him and saidG3004, LordG2962, how oftenG4212 shall my brotherG80 sinG264 against me and I forgiveG863 him? until sevenG2034 times? 22JesusG2424 saysG3004 to him, I sayG3004 not to thee until sevenG2033 times, but until seventy times sevenG2033. 23For this cause the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 has becomeG3666 like a kingG935 who would reckon with his bondmen. 24And having begunG757 to reckon, oneG1520 debtor of tenG3463 thousandG3463 talentsG5007 was broughtG4374 to him. 25But he not having anything to payG591, [his] lordG2962 commandedG2753 him to be sold, and his wifeG1135, and his childrenG5043, and everythingG3956 that he had, and that payment should be made. 26The bondman thereforeG3767 fallingG4098 downG4098 did him homage, sayingG3004, Lord, have patienceG3114 with me and I will payG591 thee all. 27And the lordG2962 of that bondman, being moved with compassionG4697, loosed him and forgaveG863 him the loan. 28But that bondman having goneG1831 out, foundG2147 oneG1520 of his fellow-bondmen who owedG3784 him a hundredG1540 denariiG1220. And having seizedG2902 him, he throttled him, sayingG3004, PayG591 [me] if thou owest anythingG5100. 29His fellow-bondman thereforeG3767, having fallenG4098 downG4098 [at his feet], besought him, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 with me, and I will payG591 thee. 30But he would not, but wentG565 awayG565 and castG906 him into prisonG5438, until he should payG591 what was owing. 31But his fellow-bondmen, having seenG3708 what had taken placeG1096, were greatlyG4970 grievedG3076, and went and recounted to their lordG2962 all that had taken placeG1096. 32ThenG5119 his lordG2962, having called him to [him], saysG3004 to him, WickedG4190 bondman! I forgaveG863 thee all that debtG3782 because thou besoughtest me; 33shouldest not thou alsoG2532 have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as I alsoG2532 had compassion on thee? 34And his lordG2962 being angryG3710 deliveredG3860 him to the tormentors till he paidG591 all that was owing to him. 35ThusG3779 alsoG2532 my heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 shall do to you if ye forgiveG863 not from your heartsG2588 every oneG1538 his brotherG80.
