Matthew 18

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?

The same tyme the disciples came vnto Iesus saying: who is ye greatest in the kyngdome of heve?

2 And having called in a child, Jesus set it in the midst of them.

Iesus called a chylde vnto him and set him in the middes of them:

3 And he said, Truly I say to you, if ye are not turned, and become as children, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.

4 He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

Whosoever therfore humble him sylfe as this chylde the same is the greatest in ye kyngdome of heve.

5 And whoever will receive one such child in my name receives me.

And who soever receaveth suche a chylde in my name receaveth me.

6 But whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is advantageous for him that a donkey-powered millstone were hanged on his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

But whosoever offende one of these lytelons which beleve in me: it were better for him that a milstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he were drouned in the depth of the see.

7 Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks. For it is necessary that the stumbling-blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes.

Wo be vnto the world because of offences. How be it it cannot be avoided but yt offences shalbe geven. Neverthelesse woo be to ye man by who the offence cometh.

8 And if thy hand or thy foot causes thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

Wherfore yf thy honde or thy fote offende the cut him of and cast him from the. It ys better for the to enter into lyfe halt or maymed rather then thou shuldest havinge two hondes or two fete be cast into everlasting fyre. (aiōnios g166)

9 And if thine eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)

And yf also thyne eye offende the plucke him oute and caste him from the. It is better for the to enter into lyfe with one eye then havyng two eyes to be cast into hell fyre. (Geenna g1067)

10 See that ye not disparage one of these little ones, for I say to you, that in the heavens their agents do always behold the face of my Father in the heavens.

Se that ye despise not one of these litelons. For I saye vnto you yt in heven their angels alwayes behold the face of my father which is in heven.

11 For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.

Ye and the sonne of man is come to saue that which is lost.

12 What does it seem to you? If it happens a hundred sheep are with some man, and one of them went astray, after going (having left the ninety-nine on the mountains), does he not seek the one going astray?

How thinke ye? Yf a man have an hondred shepe and one of them be gone astray dothe he not leve nynty and nyne in ye moutains and go and seke that one which is gone astray?

13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.

If it happen that he fynd him veryly I say vnto you: he reioyseth more of that shepe then of the nynty and nyne which went not astray.

14 So, it is not a purpose before your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.

Even so it is not the wyll of youre father in heven that one of these lytelons shulde perishe.

15 But if thy brother should sin against thee, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he should hear thee, thou have gained thy brother.

Moreover yf thy brother treaspace agenst the. Go and tell him his faute betwene him and the alone. Yf he heare the thou hast wone thy brother:

16 But if he should not hear, take with thee one or two besides, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

But yf he heare the not then take yet with the one or two that in the mouth of two or thre witnesses all thinges maye be stablisshed.

17 And if he is heedless of them, speak to the church. But if he is also heedless of the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the tax collector.

If he heare not them tell it vnto the congregacion. If he heare not ye congregacion take him as an hethen man and as a publican.

18 Truly I say to you, however many things ye may bind on the earth will be things that are bound in heaven, and however many things ye may loose on the earth will be things that that are loosed in heaven.

Verely I say vnto you what soever ye bynde on erth shalbe bounde in heven. And what soever ye lowse on erth shalbe lowsed in heven.

19 Again I say to you truly, that if two of you should agree on the earth concerning every matter, whatever they might ask, it will happen for them from my Father in the heavens.

Agayn I say vnto you that yf two of you shall agre in erth apon eny maner thynge what soever they shall desyre: it shalbe geven them of my father which is in heven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

For where two or thre are gathered togedder in my name there am I in the myddes of them.

21 Then Peter having come to him, he said, Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?

Then came Peter to him and sayde: master howe ofte shall I forgeve my brother yf he synne agaynst me seven tymes?

22 Jesus says to him, I say to thee, not until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

Iesus sayd vnto him: I saye not vnto the seven tymes: but seventy tymes seven tymes.

23 Because of this the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a king, who wanted to settle account with his bondmen.

Therfore is ye kingdome of heven lykened vnto a certayne kynge which wolde take a countis of his servauntis.

24 And when he began to settle, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.

And when he had begone to recken one was broughte vnto him whiche ought him ten thousande talentis:

25 But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made.

whome be cause he had nought to paye his master commaunded him to be solde and his wyfe and his chyldren and all that he had and payment to be made.

26 The bondman therefore having fallen down, worshiped him, saying, Lord, be patient toward me and I will pay thee all.

The servaunt fell doune and besought him sayinge: Sir geve me respyte and I wyll paye it every whit.

27 And having felt compassion, the lord of that bondman released him, and forgave him the debt.

Then had the Lorde pytie on that servaunt and lowsed him and forgave him the det.

28 But after going out, that bondman found one of his fellow bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having grabbed him, he choked him, saying, Pay me if thou owe anything.

And ye sayde servaut wet oute and founde one of his felowes which ought him an hundred pence and leyed hondes on him and toke him by the throote sayinge: paye me yt thou owest.

29 So his fellow bondman having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Be patience toward me, and I will pay thee.

And his felowe fell doune and besought him sayinge: have pacience with me and I wyll paye the all.

30 But he would not, instead, having left him, he cast him into prison until he would pay that which was owed.

And he wolde not but went and cast him into preson tyll he shulde paye the det.

31 And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened.

When his other felowes sawe what was done they were very sory and came and tolde vnto their lorde all yt had happened.

32 Then his lord having summoned him, he says to him, Thou evil bondman, I forgave thee all that debt because thou besought me.

Then his lorde called him and sayde vnto him. O evyll servaut I forgave the all that det because thou prayedst me: was it not mete also yt thou

33 Was it not necessary for thee also to be merciful to thy fellow bondman, as I also was merciful to thee?

shuldest have had copassion on thy felow even as I had pitie on ye?

34 And having become angry, his lord delivered him to the tormentors until he would pay all that was due to him.

And his lorde was wrooth and delyuered him to the iaylers tyll he shnld paye all that was due to him.

35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye do not forgive each man his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

So lyke wyse shall my hevenly father do vnto you except ye forgeve with youre hertes eache one to his brother their treaspases.
