Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
εν εκεινη τη ωρα προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντες τις αρα μειζων εστιν εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
και προσκαλεσαμενος παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
και ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη στραφητε και γενησθε ως τα παιδια ου μη εισελθητε εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
οστις ουν ταπεινωσει εαυτον ως το παιδιον τουτο ουτος εστιν ο μειζων εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
και ος εαν δεξηται εν παιδιον τοιουτο επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
ος δ αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εις εμε συμφερει αυτω ινα κρεμασθη μυλος ονικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και καταποντισθη εν τω πελαγει της θαλασσης
7 "Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
ουαι τω κοσμω απο των σκανδαλων αναγκη γαρ ελθειν τα σκανδαλα πλην ουαι τω ανθρωπω δι ου το σκανδαλον ερχεται
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
ει δε η χειρ σου η ο πους σου σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν εισελθειν εις την ζωην κυλλον η χωλον η δυο χειρας η δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
και ει ο οφθαλμος σου σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν μονοφθαλμον εις την ζωην εισελθειν η δυο οφθαλμους εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν του πυρος (Geenna g1067)
10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
ορατε μη καταφρονησητε ενος των μικρων τουτων λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν ουρανοις δια παντος βλεπουσιν το προσωπον του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις
12 "What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
τι υμιν δοκει εαν γενηται τινι ανθρωπω εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων ουχι αφησει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα επι τα ορη και πορευθεις ζητει το πλανωμενον
13 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
και εαν γενηται ευρειν αυτο αμην λεγω υμιν οτι χαιρει επ αυτω μαλλον η επι τοις ενενηκοντα εννεα τοις μη πεπλανημενοις
14 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
ουτως ουκ εστιν θελημα εμπροσθεν του πατρος {VAR1: μου } {VAR2: υμων } του εν ουρανοις ινα αποληται εν των μικρων τουτων
15 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
εαν δε αμαρτηση {VAR2: [εις σε] } ο αδελφος σου υπαγε ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου εαν σου ακουση εκερδησας τον αδελφον σου
16 But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
εαν δε μη ακουση παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο ινα επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων η τριων σταθη παν ρημα
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
εαν δε παρακουση αυτων {VAR1: ειπον } {VAR2: ειπε } τη εκκλησια εαν δε και της εκκλησιας παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
αμην λεγω υμιν οσα εαν δησητε επι της γης εσται δεδεμενα εν ουρανω και οσα εαν λυσητε επι της γης εσται λελυμενα εν ουρανω
19 Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
παλιν [αμην] λεγω υμιν οτι εαν δυο συμφωνησωσιν εξ υμων επι της γης περι παντος πραγματος ου εαν αιτησωνται γενησεται αυτοις παρα του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
ου γαρ εισιν δυο η τρεις συνηγμενοι εις το εμον ονομα εκει ειμι εν μεσω αυτων
21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
τοτε προσελθων ο πετρος ειπεν {VAR1: [αυτω] } {VAR2: αυτω } κυριε ποσακις αμαρτησει εις εμε ο αδελφος μου και αφησω αυτω εως επτακις
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
λεγει αυτω ο ιησους ου λεγω σοι εως επτακις αλλα εως εβδομηκοντακις επτα
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
δια τουτο ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει ος ηθελησεν συναραι λογον μετα των δουλων αυτου
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
αρξαμενου δε αυτου συναιρειν {VAR1: προσηχθη εις αυτω } {VAR2: προσηνεχθη αυτω εις } οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
μη εχοντος δε αυτου αποδουναι εκελευσεν αυτον ο κυριος πραθηναι και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα εχει και αποδοθηναι
26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
πεσων ουν ο δουλος προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και παντα αποδωσω σοι
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου {VAR1: [εκεινου] } {VAR2: εκεινου } απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν αυτω
28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
εξελθων δε ο δουλος εκεινος ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου ος ωφειλεν αυτω εκατον δηναρια και κρατησας αυτον επνιγεν λεγων αποδος ει τι οφειλεις
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
πεσων ουν ο συνδουλος αυτου παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και αποδωσω σοι
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
ο δε ουκ ηθελεν αλλα απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εις φυλακην εως αποδω το οφειλομενον
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
ιδοντες ουν οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντες διεσαφησαν τω κυριω εαυτων παντα τα γενομενα
32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
τοτε προσκαλεσαμενος αυτον ο κυριος αυτου λεγει αυτω δουλε πονηρε πασαν την οφειλην εκεινην αφηκα σοι επει παρεκαλεσας με
33 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
ουκ εδει και σε ελεησαι τον συνδουλον σου ως καγω σε ηλεησα
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον τοις βασανισταις εως {VAR1: [ου] } {VAR2: ου } αποδω παν το οφειλομενον
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
ουτως και ο πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος ποιησει υμιν εαν μη αφητε εκαστος τω αδελφω αυτου απο των καρδιων υμων
