< Matthew 18 >
1 In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) a child He set it in 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.
4 Whoever therefore (will humble *N(k)O*) himself as little child this, he 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.
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.
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!
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 )
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 )
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20 Where for are two or three assembled unto My name, there am I 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?
22 Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to 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.
24 When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK(o)*) to him one a debtor of ten thousand 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.
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.
27 Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.
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.’
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.
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.
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.
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.
33 Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?
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*)
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*)
