1At1722 the same1565 time5610 came4334 the disciples3101 unto Jesus2424, saying3004, Who5101 686 is2076 the greatest3187 in1722 the kingdom932 of heaven3772?

2And2532 Jesus2424 called4341 a little child3813 unto him4341, and set2476 him846 in1722 the midst3319 of them846,

3And2532 said2036, Verily281 I say3004 unto you5213, Except3362 ye be converted4762, and2532 become1096 as5613 little children3813, ye shall1525 not3364 enter1525 into1519 the kingdom932 of heaven3772.

4Whosoever3748 therefore3767 shall humble5013 himself1438 as5613 this5124 little child3813, the same3778 is2076 greatest3187 in1722 the kingdom932 of heaven3772.

5And2532 whoso3739 1437 shall receive1209 one1520 such5108 little child3813 in1909 my3450 name3686 receiveth1209 me1691.

6But1161 whoso3739 302 shall offend4624 one1520 of these5130 little ones3398 which3588 believe4100 in1519 me1691, it were better4851 for him846 that2443 a millstone3458 3684 were hanged2910 about1909 his846 neck5137, and2532 that he were drowned2670 in1722 the depth3989 of the sea2281.

7Woe3759 unto the world2889 because of575 offences4625! for1063 it must needs318 be2076 that offences4625 come2064; but4133 woe3759 to that man444 by1565 whom1223 3739 the offence4625 cometh2064!

8Wherefore1161 if1487 thy4675 hand5495 or2228 thy4675 foot4228 offend thee4624, cut1581 them846 off1581, and2532 cast906 them from575 thee4571 4675: it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter into1525 1519 life2222 halt5560 or2228 maimed2948, rather than2228 having2192 two1417 hands5495 or2228 two1417 feet4228 to be cast906 into1519 everlasting166 fire4442.

9And2532 if1487 thine4675 eye3788 offend4624 thee4571, pluck1807 it846 out1807, and2532 cast906 it from575 thee4675: it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 life2222 with one eye3442, rather than2228 having2192 two1417 eyes3788 to be cast906 into1519 hell1067 fire4442.

10Take heed3708 that ye despise2706 not3361 one1520 of these5130 little ones3398; for1063 I say3004 unto you5213, That3754 in1722 heaven3772 their846 angels32 do always1223 3956 behold991 the face4383 of my3450 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven3772.

11For1063 the Son5207 of man444 is come2064 to save4982 that which3588 was lost622.

12How5101 think1380 ye5213? if1437 5100 a man444 have1096 an hundred1540 sheep4263, and2532 one1520 of1537 them846 be gone astray4105, doth he863 not3780 leave863 the ninety and nine1768, and goeth4198 into1909 the mountains3735, and seeketh2212 that which3588 is gone astray4105?

13And2532 if so1437 be1096 that he find2147 it846, verily281 I say3004 unto you5213 3754, he rejoiceth5463 more3123 of1909 that846 sheep, than2228 of1909 the ninety and nine1768 which3588 went4105 not3361 astray4105.

14Even so3779 it is2076 not3756 the will2307 of1715 your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven3772, that2443 one1520 of these5130 little ones3398 should perish622.

15Moreover1161 if1437 thy4675 brother80 shall trespass264 against1519 thee4571, go5217 and2532 tell1651 him846 his fault1651 between3342 thee4675 and2532 him846 alone3441: if1437 he shall hear191 thee4675, thou hast gained2770 thy4675 brother80.

16But1161 if3362 he will191 not3362 hear191 thee, then take3880 with3326 thee4675 one1520 or2228 two1417 more2089, that2443 in1909 the mouth4750 of two1417 or2228 three5140 witnesses3144 every3956 word4487 may be established2476.

17And1161 if1437 he shall neglect to hear3878 them846, tell2036 it unto the church1577: but1161 2532 if1437 he neglect to hear3878 the church1577, let him be2077 unto thee4671 as5618 an heathen man1482 and2532 a publican5057.

18Verily281 I say3004 unto you5213, Whatsoever3745 1437 ye shall bind1210 on1909 earth1093 shall be2071 bound1210 in1722 heaven3772: and2532 whatsoever3745 1437 ye shall loose3089 on1909 earth1093 shall be2071 loosed3089 in1722 heaven3772.

19Again3825 I say3004 unto you5213, That3754 if1437 two1417 of you5216 shall agree4856 on1909 earth1093 as touching4012 any3956 thing4229 that3739 1437 they shall ask154, it shall be done1096 for them846 of3844 my3450 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven3772.

20For1063 where3757 two1417 or2228 three5140 are1526 gathered together4863 in1519 my1699 name3686, there1563 am I1510 in1722 the midst3319 of them846.

21Then5119 came4334 Peter4074 to him846, and said2036, Lord2962, how oft4212 shall my3450 brother80 sin264 against1519 me1691, and2532 I forgive863 him846? till2193 seven times2034?

22Jesus2424 saith3004 unto him846, I say3004 not3756 unto thee4671, Until2193 seven times2034: but235, Until2193 seventy times1441 seven2033.

23Therefore1223 5124 is the kingdom932 of heaven3772 likened3666 unto a certain444 king935, which3739 would2309 take4868 account3056 of3326 his846 servants1401.

24And1161 when he846 had begun756 to reckon4868, one1520 was brought4374 unto him846, which owed3781 him846 ten thousand3463 talents5007. talents: a talent is 750.ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187.li. 10.s.

25But forasmuch as1161 he846 had2192 not3361 to pay591, his846 lord2962 commanded2753 him846 to be sold4097, and2532 his846 wife1135, and2532 children5043, and2532 all3956 that3745 he had2192, and2532 payment to be made591.

26The servant1401 therefore3767 fell down4098, and worshipped4352 him846, saying3004, Lord2962, have patience3114 with1909 me1698, and2532 I will pay591 thee4671 all3956. worshipped him: or, besought him

27Then1161 the lord2962 of that1565 servant1401 was moved with compassion4697, and loosed630 him846, and2532 forgave863 him846 the debt1156.

28But1161 the same1565 servant1401 went out1831, and found2147 one1520 of his846 fellowservants4889, which3739 owed3784 him846 an hundred1540 pence1220: and2532 he laid hands2902 on him846, and took him by the throat4155, saying3004, Pay591 me3427 that3748 thou owest3784. pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents

29And3767 his846 fellowservant4889 fell down4098 at1519 his846 feet4228, and besought3870 him846, saying3004, Have patience3114 with1909 me1698, and2532 I will pay591 thee4671 all3956.

30And1161 he would2309 not3756: but235 went565 and cast906 him846 into1519 prison5438, till2193 3739 he should pay591 the debt3784.

31So1161 when his846 fellowservants4889 saw1492 what was done1096, they were very4970 sorry3076, and2532 came2064 and told1285 unto their846 lord2962 all3956 that was done1096.

32Then5119 his846 lord2962, after that he had called4341 him846, said3004 unto him846, O thou wicked4190 servant1401, I forgave863 thee4671 all3956 that1565 debt3782, because1893 thou desiredst3870 me3165:

33Shouldest1163 not3756 thou4571 also2532 have had compassion1653 on thy4675 fellowservant4889, even2532 as5613 I1473 had pity1653 on thee4571?

34And2532 his846 lord2962 was wroth3710, and delivered3860 him846 to the tormentors930, till2193 3739 he should pay591 all3956 that was due3784 unto him846.
