Matthew 18
1 AT that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is indeed the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες· τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν;
2 And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them,
καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *k*) παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
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.
καὶ εἶπεν· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
ὅστις οὖν (ταπεινώσει *N(k)O*) ἑαυτὸν ὡς τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μείζων ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
5 And whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
καὶ ὃς (ἐὰν *NK(o)*) δέξηται ἓν παιδίον (τοιοῦτο *N(k)O*) ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται.
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.
ὃς δ᾽ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει αὐτῷ ἵνα κρεμασθῇ μύλος ὀνικὸς (περὶ *N(k)(o)*) τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταποντισθῇ ἐν τῷ πελάγει τῆς θαλάσσης.
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!
Οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων· ἀνάγκη γὰρ (ἐστιν *ko*) ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα, πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ (ἐκείνῳ *k*) δι᾽ οὗ τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται.
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)
εἰ δὲ ἡ χείρ σου ἢ ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον (αὐτὸν *N(K)O*) καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν κυλλὸν ἢ χωλὸν ἢ δύο χεῖρας ἢ δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον. (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)
καὶ εἰ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός. (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.
Ὁρᾶτε μὴ καταφρονήσητε ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσιν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
(ἦλθεν *KO*) (γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός. *K*)
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?
Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, οὐχὶ (ἀφήσει *N(k)O*) τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, (καὶ *no*) πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον;
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.
καὶ ἐὰν γένηται εὑρεῖν αὐτό, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι χαίρει ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ μᾶλλον ἢ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα τοῖς μὴ πεπλανημένοις.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones perish.
οὕτως οὐκ ἔστιν θέλημα ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ πατρὸς (ὑμῶν *NK(O)*) τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἵνα ἀπόληται (ἓν *N(k)O*) τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.
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.
Ἐὰν δὲ ἁμαρτήσῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε (καὶ *k*) ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου. ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σου.
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.
ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσῃ, παράλαβε μετὰ σοῦ ἔτι ἕνα ἢ δύο ἵνα ἐπὶ στόματος δύο μαρτύρων ἢ τριῶν σταθῇ πᾶν ῥῆμα.
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.
ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσῃ αὐτῶν, εἰπὲ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ. ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας παρακούσῃ, ἔστω σοι ὥσπερ ὁ ἐθνικὸς καὶ ὁ τελώνης.
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.
Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· ὅσα (ἐὰν *NK(o)*) δήσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένα ἐν (τῷ *ko*) οὐρανῷ· καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένα ἐν (τῷ *ko*) οὐρανῷ.
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.
Πάλιν (ἀμὴν *NO*) λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν δύο συμφωνήσωσιν (ἐξ *no*) ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς περὶ παντὸς πράγματος οὗ ἐὰν αἰτήσωνται, γενήσεται αὐτοῖς παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
οὗ γάρ εἰσιν δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα, ἐκεῖ εἰμι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
21 Then Peter coming to him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Τότε προσελθὼν ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· κύριε, ποσάκις ἁμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀφήσω αὐτῷ; ἕως ἑπτάκις;
22 Jesus saith to him, I tell thee not until seven times, but unto seventy times seven.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐ λέγω σοι ἕως ἑπτάκις ἀλλ᾽ ἕως ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven like unto a certain king who purposed to settle his account with his servants.
Διὰ τοῦτο ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ ὃς ἠθέλησεν συνᾶραι λόγον μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.
24 And when he began to make up the account, there was brought to him one debtor, ten thousand talents in arrear:
ἀρξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ συναίρειν (προσηνέχθη *NK(o)*) αὐτῷ εἷς ὀφειλέτης μυρίων ταλάντων.
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.
μὴ ἔχοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποδοῦναι ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος (αὐτοῦ *k*) πραθῆναι καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα (αὐτοῦ *ko*) καὶ τὰ τέκνα καὶ πάντα ὅσα (ἔχει *N(k)O*) καὶ ἀποδοθῆναι.
26 Then that servant falling prostrate, paid him the most profound homage, saying, Lord, have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all.
Πεσὼν οὖν ὁ δοῦλος προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων· (κύριε, *ko*) μακροθύμησον ἐπ᾽ (ἐμοί, *NK(o)*) καὶ πάντα ἀποδώσω σοι.
27 Then his lord, moved with compassion towards that servant, discharged him, and forgave him the debt.
Σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἀπέλυσεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ δάνειον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ.
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.
ἐξελθὼν δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος εὗρεν ἕνα τῶν συνδούλων αὐτοῦ ὃς ὤφειλεν αὐτῷ ἑκατὸν δηνάρια, καὶ κρατήσας αὐτὸν ἔπνιγεν λέγων· ἀπόδος (μοι *k*) (εἴ *N(k)O*) τι ὀφείλεις.
29 Then his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all.
πεσὼν οὖν ὁ σύνδουλος αὐτοῦ (εἰς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ *K*) παρεκάλει αὐτὸν λέγων· μακροθύμησον ἐπ᾽ (ἐμοί, *NK(o)*) καὶ (πάντα *K*) ἀποδώσω σοι.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay what he owed.
ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἤθελεν, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπελθὼν ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν ἕως (οὗ *ko*) ἀποδῷ τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.
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.
Ἰδόντες (οὖν *N(k)O*) οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ γενόμενα ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐλθόντες διεσάφησαν τῷ κυρίῳ (ἑαυτῶν *N(k)O*) πάντα τὰ γενόμενα.
32 Then his lord, calling him before him, said to him, Thou vile slave! all that debt I forgave thee, because thou besoughtest me:
Τότε προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ λέγει αὐτῷ· δοῦλε πονηρέ, πᾶσαν τὴν ὀφειλὴν ἐκείνην ἀφῆκά σοι ἐπεὶ παρεκάλεσάς με.
33 and oughtest thou not to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
οὐκ ἔδει καὶ σὲ ἐλεῆσαι τὸν σύνδουλόν σου ὡς κἀγὼ κἀγὼ σὲ ἠλέησα;
34 And his lord, incensed, delivered him up to the torturers, till he should pay all that he owed him.
Καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν τοῖς βασανισταῖς ἕως οὗ ἀποδῷ πᾶν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον (αὐτῷ. *ko*)
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.
οὕτως καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ (οὐράνιος *N(k)O*) ποιήσει ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ ἀφῆτε ἕκαστος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν καρδιῶν ὑμῶν (τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν. *K*)
