| 33 And being in the house, he asked
them, What was it that ye disputed
among yourselves by the way? |
| At the same time came the disciples
unto Jesus, saying, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven? | 34 But they held their peace: for
by the way they had disputed among
themselves, who should be the greatest. |
| 35 And he sat down, and called the
twelve, and saith unto them, if any
man desire to be first, the same shall
be last of all, and servant of all. |
| 2 And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and set him in the midst of
them, | 36 And he took a child, and set
him in the midst of them: and when
he had taken him in his arms, he said
unto them, |
| 3 And said, Verily, I say unto you,
Except ye be converted, and become
as little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven. | 37 Whosoever shall receive one of
such children in my name, receiveth
me: and whosoever shall receive me,
receiveth not me, but him that sent me. |
| 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven. | 38 And John answered him, saying,
Master, we saw one casting out devils
in thy name, and he followeth not us;
and we forbade him, because he followeth
not us. |
| 5 And whoso shall receive one such
little child in my name, receiveth me. | |
| 6 But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and that
he were drowned in the depth of the
sea. | 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not:
for there is no man which shall do a
miracle in my name, that can lightly
speak evil of me. |
| 40 For he that is not against us, is
on our part. |
| 7 Wo unto the world because of
offences! for it must needs be that
offences come; but wo to that man by
whom the offence cometh: | 41 for whosoever shall give you a
cup of water to drink in my name,
because ye belong to Christ, verily I
say unto you, he shall not lose his
reward. |
| 8 Wherefore, if thy hand or thy
foot offend thee, cut them off, and
cast them from thee; it is better for
thee to enter into life halt or maimed,
rather than having two hands or two
feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. | 42 And whosoever shall offend one
of these little ones that believe in me,
it is better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and he
were cast into the sea. |
| 9 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it
is better for thee to enter into life with
one eye, rather than having two eyes,
to be cast into hell-fire. | 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut
it off: It is better for thee to enter
into life maimed, than having two
hands to go into hell, into the fire that
never shall be quenched: |
| 10 Take heed 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 which is in heaven. | 44 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched. |
| 11 For the Son of man is come to
save that which was lost. | 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off:
it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast
into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. |
| 12 How think ye? If a man have
a hundred sheep, and one of them be
gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which is
gone astray? | 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched. |
| 13 And if so be that he find it,
verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety
and nine which went not astray. | 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it
out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having
two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire: |
| 14 Even so it is not the will of your
Father which is in heaven, that one of
these little ones should perish. | 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the
fire is not quenched. |
| 15 Moreover, if thy brother shall
trespass against thee, go and tell him
his fault between thee and him alone;
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother. | 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
shall be salted with salt. |
| 16 But if he will not hear thee, then
take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established. | 50 Salt is good:
but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt
in yourselves, and have peace one with another. |
| 17 And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church: but if
he neglect to hear the church, let him
be unto thee as a heathen man and a
publican. | |
| 18 Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever
ye shall bind on earth, shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye
shall loose on 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
which is in heaven. | |
| 20 For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am I in the midst of them. | |
| 21 Then came Peter to him, and
said, Lord, how oft shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him?
till seven times? | |
| 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, Until seven times: but,
Until seventy times seven. | |
| 23 Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto a certain king
which would take account of his servants. | |
| 24 And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him
which owed him ten thousand talents. | |
| 25 But forasmuch as he had not to
pay, his lord commanded him to be
sold, and his wife and children, and
all that 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. | |
| 27 Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt | |
| 28 But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fellow-servants,
which owed him a hundred pence:
and he laid hands on him, and took
him by the throat, saying, Pay me that
thou owest. | |
| 20 And his fellow-servant fell down
at his feet, and besought him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all. | |
| 30 And he would not: but went
and cast him into prison, till he should
pay the debt. | |
| 31 So when his fellow-servants saw
what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all
that was done. | |
| 32 Then his lord, after that he had
called him, said unto him, O thou
wicked servant, I forgave thee all that
debt, because thou desiredst me: | |
| 33 Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellow-servant, even
as I had pity on thee? | |
| 34 And his lord was wroth, and
delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto
him. | |
| 35 So likewise shall my heavenly
Father do also unto you, if ye from
your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses. | |
