Matthew 18
1 AT that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is indeed the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
The same tyme the disciples came vnto Iesus saying: who is ye greatest in the kyngdome of heve?
2 And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them,
Iesus called a chylde vnto him and set him in the middes of them:
3 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therfore humble him sylfe as this chylde the same is the greatest in ye kyngdome of heve.
5 And whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
And who soever receaveth suche a chylde in my name receaveth me.
6 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones, who believe in me, to stumble, it were better for him that a millstone was hung at his neck, and that he was sunk 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 Wo to the world because of offences! for there is a necessity that offences come: nevertheless, wo to that man by whom the offence cometh!
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 If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal. (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 lead thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee, for it were better for thee to enter into life with one eye only, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-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 despise not one of these little ones, for I say unto you, That their angels in heaven continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
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 is come to save that which was lost.
Ye and the sonne of man is come to saue that which is lost.
12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them stray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek that which had strayed?
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 happen to find it, verily I say unto you, that he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which never went 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 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones perish.
Even so it is not the wyll of youre father in heven that one of these lytelons shulde perishe.
15 Now if thy brother sin against thee, go and reprove him between thyself and him alone; if he hear thee, thou hast 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 will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be confirmed.
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 But if he disregard them, inform the church: and if he disregard the church, let him be to thee as a heathen, or a publican.
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 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever things ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever things ye shall loose on earth shall be 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 unto you, That if two of you are concurring upon earth, respecting any matter, which ye shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
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 coming to him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till 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 saith to him, I tell thee not until seven times, but unto seventy times seven.
Iesus sayd vnto him: I saye not vnto the seven tymes: but seventy tymes seven tymes.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven like unto a certain king who purposed to settle his account with his servants.
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 make up the account, there was brought to him one debtor, ten thousand talents in arrear:
And when he had begone to recken one was broughte vnto him whiche ought him ten thousande talentis:
25 but not having wherewithal to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all things whatsoever he possessed, 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 Then that servant falling prostrate, paid him the most profound homage, saying, Lord, have forbearance with 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 Then his lord, moved with compassion towards that servant, discharged him, and forgave him the debt.
Then had the Lorde pytie on that servaunt and lowsed him and forgave him the det.
28 But that servant going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing, throttled him, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
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 Then his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all.
And his felowe fell doune and besought him sayinge: have pacience with me and I wyll paye the all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay what he owed.
And he wolde not but went and cast him into preson tyll he shulde paye the det.
31 Then his fellow-servants, when they saw what was done, were exceedingly sorry, and came to their lord, and gave him an explicit account of all things that had passed.
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, calling him before him, said to him, Thou vile slave! all that debt I forgave thee, because thou besoughtest 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 and oughtest thou not to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
shuldest have had copassion on thy felow even as I had pitie on ye?
34 And his lord, incensed, delivered him up to the torturers, till he should pay all that he owed him.
And his lorde was wrooth and delyuered him to the iaylers tyll he shnld paye all that was due to him.
35 Even so also will my heavenly Father do to you, except ye forgive every one of you 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.
