Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus inquiring, Who shall be the greatest in the Reign of Heaven?
ⲁ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
2 Jesus calling to him a child, placed him in the midst of them,

3 and said, Indeed, I say to you, unless you be changed, and become as children, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲕⲉⲧ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
4 Whosoever, therefore, shall become humble like this child.

6 but whosoever shall ensnare any of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that an upper millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were sunk in the ocean.

10 Beware of contemning any of these little ones; for I assure you, that in heaven, their angels continually behold the face of my heavenly Father:

11 and the Son of Man is come to recover the lost.

12 What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them has strayed, will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and go in quest of the stray?

13 And if he happens to find it, indeed, I say to you, he derives greater joy from it, than from the ninety-nine which went not astray.

14 Thus it is not the will of your Father in heaven, that any of these little ones should be lost.

15 Wherefore, if your brother trespass against you, go and expostulate with him, when you and he are alone together. If he hear you, you have gained your brother;

16 but if he will not hear, take one or two along with you, that by the testimony of two or three witnesses everything may be ascertained.

17 If he despises them, tell the congregation; and if he despise the congregation also, let him be to you as a pagan or a publican.

23 In this the Administration of Heaven resembles a king, who determined to settle accounts with his servants.
