< Matthew 18 >

1 In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ
3 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.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲉⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

6 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 "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 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 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 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.

12 "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 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

15 "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 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 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.

19 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.

21 Then Kipha came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.

24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 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.
