Matthew 18
1 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
3 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
and said—Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:
And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
6 but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!
Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
8 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
12 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?
How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.
And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
16 But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.
But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
17 And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.
But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax-collector.
18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.
Again, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesus saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
25 But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, —and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.
He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:
Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.
And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
