Matthew 18

1 At the same time came the disciples unto Yahushua, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Then which one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens?

2 And Yahushua called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of 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.

and said, Truly I say unto you, unless you may be converted, and become as little children, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens;

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

and whosoever shall receive such little child in my name, receives 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.

But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Woe unto the world on account of offensives, for it is necessary that offensives come; but woe unto that man through whom the offense comes!

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. (aiōnios g166)

If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)

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. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee having one eye entering into life, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)

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.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12 How think ye? if a man have an 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?

What seems to you? if there may be a hundred sheep to one man, and one of them may go astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine, going to the mountains, seek that which has gone astray?

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.

And if it maybe that he finds it, truly I say unto you, that he rejoiceth more over it than over the ninety and nine that went not astray.

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

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

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.

But if thy brother may sin, go, and convict him between thee and him alone: if he may hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

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.

if he may not hear thee, take with thyself one or two, in order that in the mouth of two or three witnesses the word may stand.

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 an heathen man and a publican.

But if he may not hear them, tell the church: and if indeed he may not hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and 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.

Truly I say unto you, that whatsoever things you may bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever things you may 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 any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Again I say unto you, that if two of you may agree upon the earth concerning everything which you may ask, it shall be done unto you by my Father, who is in the heavens.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

For where two or three are assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.

21 Then came Kepha to him, and said, My master, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Then Peter, coming to Him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?

22 Yahushua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Jesus says to him, I say not unto thee, Until seven time; but Until seventy times seven.

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a kingly man, who wished to make a reckoning with his servants.

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents.

25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his master commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made.

26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, My master, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all.

27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt.

28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

And that servant having gone out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred denaria: seized him, throttled him, saying, Pay me what you owe me.

29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.

30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing.

31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their master all that was done.

Then his fellow-servants seeing those things which had taken place, were grieved exceedingly, and coming related to their lord all the things which transpired.

32 Then his master, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me:

33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

did it not behoove thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee?

34 And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due 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.

Thus my Heavenly Father will also do unto you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.
