Matthew 18
1 The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2 And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
"Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
8 Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of Gihana. (Geenna g1067)
10 See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
12 How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
"What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13 And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
18 Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
Then Kipha came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
22 Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
Yeshua said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
27 Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
29 Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
30 Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
31 And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32 Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
33 Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
34 So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
35 So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
