Matthew 18

1 In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?

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

2 And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) a child He set it in midst of them

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

3 and said; Amen I say to you; only unless you may turn and may become as the little children, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

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 Whoever therefore (will humble *N(k)O*) himself as little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

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

5 And who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall receive one little child (such *N(k)O*) in the name of Me, Me myself receives.

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

6 Who[ever] then maybe may cause to stumble one of the little ones of these who are believing in Me myself, it is better for him that may be hung a millstone heavy (around *N(k)(o)*) the neck of him, and he may be sunk 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 to the world because of the causes of sin; Necessary [are] for (is *ko*) to come the stumbling blocks, but woe to the man (that [one] *k*) through whom the offense comes!

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 If now the hand of you or the foot of you causes to sin you, do cut off (it *N(K)O*) and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is to enter into life crippled or lame than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. (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 the eye of you causes to sin you, do gouge out it and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is one-eyed into life to enter than two eyes having to be cast into the hell of the 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 do see [that] not may you despise one of the little ones of these; I say for to you that the angels of them in [the] heavens through all [times] behold the face of the Father of mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

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 (came *KO*) (for son of man to save those already perishing. *K*)

12 What you do think? If may happen a certain man [has] a hundred sheep and shall have gone astray one of them, surely (he will leave *N(k)O*) the ninety nine on the mountains, (and *no*) having gone will seek the [one] going 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 he may happen to find it, Amen I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which not gone 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 Thus not it is [the] will of the Father (of you *NK(O)*) who [is] in [the] heavens that may perish (one *N(k)O*) of the little ones of these.

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

15 If now shall sin against you the brother of you, do go (and *k*) do reprove him between you and him alone. If you he shall hear, you have gained the brother of you.

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 only however unless he shall hear, do take with you more one or two that upon [the] testimony of two witnesses or of three may be strengthened every declaration.

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 If now he shall fail to listen to them, do tell [it] to the church. If now also to the church he shall fail to listen, he should be to you as the pagan and the tax collector.

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 Amen I say to you; as much as (if *NK(o)*) you shall bind on the earth, will have been bound in (*ko*) heaven; and as much as if you shall loose on the earth, will have been loosed in (*ko*) 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 (Amen *NO*) I say to you that if two shall agree (of *no*) you on the earth concerning any matter that if they shall ask, it will be done for them by the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

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 Where for are two or three assembled unto 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 having come Peter said to Him; Lord, how often will sin against me myself the brother of mine and I will forgive him? Up to 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 Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven!

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

23 Because of this has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who desired to settle accounts with the servants of him.

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

24 When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK(o)*) to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents.

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

25 [When] not is having [anything] now he to pay he commanded him the master (of him *k*) to be sold and the wife (of him *ko*) and the children and all as much as (he has *N(k)O*) 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 Having fallen down therefore the servant was bowing on his knees to him saying; (lord *ko*) do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and all I will pay to you.

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

27 Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.

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

28 Having gone out however the servant same found one of the fellow servants of him who was owing to him a hundred denarii, and having seized him he was throttling [him] saying; do pay (to me *k*) (if *N(k)O*) any you owe.’

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 Having fallen down therefore the fellow servant of him (into the feet of him *K*) was begging him saying; do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and (all things *K*) I will pay you.

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

30 But not he was willing, but having gone he cast him into prison until (what of him *ko*) he may pay that which is being owed.

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

31 Having seen (therefore *N(k)O*) the fellow servants of him the [things] having taken place they were grieved deeply, and having gone they narrated to the master (of themselves *N(k)O*) all that having taken place.

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 having called to him the master of him says to him; Servant evil, all the debt, that [one] I forgave you because you begged me.

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

33 Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?

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

34 And having been angry the master of him delivered him to the jailers until that he may pay all which is being owed (to him. *ko*)

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

35 Thus also the Father of Mine (heavenly *N(k)O*) will do to you only unless you may forgive each the brother of him from the heart of you (the trespasses of them. *K*)

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