Matthew 18:1-35

At
<1722>
the same
<1565>
time
<5610>
came
<4334> (5656)
the disciples
<3101>
unto Jesus
<2424>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Who
<5101> <686>
is
<2076> (5748)
the greatest
<3187>
in
<1722>
the kingdom
<932>
of heaven
<3772>_?
And
<2532>
Jesus
<2424>
called
<4341> (0)
a little child
<3813>
unto him
<4341> (5666)_,
and set
<2476> (5656)
him
<846>
in
<1722>
the midst
<3319>
of them
<846>_,
And
<2532>
said
<2036> (5627)_,
Verily
<281>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
Except
<3362>
ye be converted
<4762> (5652)_,
and
<2532>
become
<1096> (5638)
as
<5613>
little children
<3813>_,
ye shall
<1525> (0)
not
<3364>
enter
<1525> (5632)
into
<1519>
the kingdom
<932>
of heaven
<3772>_.
Whosoever
<3748>
therefore
<3767>
shall humble
<5013> (5661)
himself
<1438>
as
<5613>
this
<5124>
little child
<3813>_,
the same
<3778>
is
<2076> (5748)
greatest
<3187>
in
<1722>
the kingdom
<932>
of heaven
<3772>_.
And
<2532>
whoso
<3739> <1437>
shall receive
<1209> (5667)
one
<1520>
such
<5108>
little child
<3813>
in
<1909>
my
<3450>
name
<3686>
receiveth
<1209> (5736)
me
<1691>_.
But
<1161>
whoso
<3739> <302>
shall offend
<4624> (5661)
one
<1520>
of these
<5130>
little ones
<3398>
which
<3588>
believe
<4100> (5723)
in
<1519>
me
<1691>_,
it were better
<4851> (5719)
for him
<846>
that
<2443>
a millstone
<3458> <3684>
were hanged
<2910> (5686)
about
<1909>
his
<846>
neck
<5137>_,
and
<2532>
[that] he were drowned
<2670> (5686)
in
<1722>
the depth
<3989>
of the sea
<2281>_.
Woe
<3759>
unto the world
<2889>
because of
<575>
offences
<4625>_!
for
<1063>
it must needs
<318>
be
<2076> (5748)
that offences
<4625>
come
<2064> (5629)_;
but
<4133>
woe
<3759>
to that man
<444>
by
<1565>
whom
<1223> <3739>
the offence
<4625>
cometh
<2064> (5736)_!
Wherefore
<1161>
if
<1487>
thy
<4675>
hand
<5495>
or
<2228>
thy
<4675>
foot
<4228>
offend thee
<4624> (5719)_,
cut
<1581> (0)
them
<846>
off
<1581> (5657)_,
and
<2532>
cast
<906> (5628)
[them] from
<575>
thee
<4571> <4675>_:
it is
<2076> (5748)
better
<2570>
for thee
<4671>
to enter into
<1525> (5629) <1519>
life
<2222>
halt
<5560>
or
<2228>
maimed
<2948>_,
rather than
<2228>
having
<2192> (5723)
two
<1417>
hands
<5495>
or
<2228>
two
<1417>
feet
<4228>
to be cast
<906> (5683)
into
<1519>
everlasting
<166>
fire
<4442>_.
And
<2532>
if
<1487>
thine
<4675>
eye
<3788>
offend
<4624> (5719)
thee
<4571>_,
pluck
<1807> (0)
it
<846>
out
<1807> (5628)_,
and
<2532>
cast
<906> (5628)
[it] from
<575>
thee
<4675>_:
it is
<2076> (5748)
better
<2570>
for thee
<4671>
to enter
<1525> (5629)
into
<1519>
life
<2222>
with one eye
<3442>_,
rather than
<2228>
having
<2192> (5723)
two
<1417>
eyes
<3788>
to be cast
<906> (5683)
into
<1519>
hell
<1067>
fire
<4442>_.
Take heed
<3708> (5720)
that ye despise
<2706> (5661)
not
<3361>
one
<1520>
of these
<5130>
little ones
<3398>_;
for
<1063>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
That
<3754>
in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>
their
<846>
angels
<32>
do always
<1223> <3956>
behold
<991> (5719)
the face
<4383>
of my
<3450>
Father
<3962>
which
<3588>
is in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>_.
For
<1063>
the Son
<5207>
of man
<444>
is come
<2064> (5627)
to save
<4982> (5658)
that which
<3588>
was lost
<622> (5756)_.
How
<5101>
think
<1380> (5719)
ye
<5213>_?
if
<1437> <5100>
a man
<444>
have
<1096> (5638)
an hundred
<1540>
sheep
<4263>_,
and
<2532>
one
<1520>
of
<1537>
them
<846>
be gone astray
<4105> (5686)_,
doth he
<863> (0)
not
<3780>
leave
<863> (5631)
the ninety and nine
<1768>_,
and goeth
<4198> (5679)
into
<1909>
the mountains
<3735>_,
and seeketh
<2212> (5719)
that which
<3588>
is gone astray
<4105> (5746)_?
And
<2532>
if so
<1437>
be
<1096> (5638)
that he find
<2147> (5629)
it
<846>_,
verily
<281>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213> <3754>_,
he rejoiceth
<5463> (5719)
more
<3123>
of
<1909>
that
<846>
[sheep], than
<2228>
of
<1909>
the ninety and nine
<1768>
which
<3588>
went
<4105> (0)
not
<3361>
astray
<4105> (5772)_.
Even so
<3779>
it is
<2076> (5748)
not
<3756>
the will
<2307>
of
<1715>
your
<5216>
Father
<3962>
which
<3588>
is in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>_,
that
<2443>
one
<1520>
of these
<5130>
little ones
<3398>
should perish
<622> (5643)_.
Moreover
<1161>
if
<1437>
thy
<4675>
brother
<80>
shall trespass
<264> (5661)
against
<1519>
thee
<4571>_,
go
<5217> (5720)
and
<2532>
tell
<1651> (0)
him
<846>
his fault
<1651> (5657)
between
<3342>
thee
<4675>
and
<2532>
him
<846>
alone
<3441>_:
if
<1437>
he shall hear
<191> (5661)
thee
<4675>_,
thou hast gained
<2770> (5656)
thy
<4675>
brother
<80>_.
But
<1161>
if
<3362> (0)
he will
<191> (0)
not
<3362>
hear
<191> (5661)
[thee, then] take
<3880> (5628)
with
<3326>
thee
<4675>
one
<1520>
or
<2228>
two
<1417>
more
<2089>_,
that
<2443>
in
<1909>
the mouth
<4750>
of two
<1417>
or
<2228>
three
<5140>
witnesses
<3144>
every
<3956>
word
<4487>
may be established
<2476> (5686)_.
And
<1161>
if
<1437>
he shall neglect to hear
<3878> (5661)
them
<846>_,
tell
<2036> (5628)
[it] unto the church
<1577>_:
but
<1161> <2532>
if
<1437>
he neglect to hear
<3878> (5661)
the church
<1577>_,
let him be
<2077> (5749)
unto thee
<4671>
as
<5618>
an heathen man
<1482>
and
<2532>
a publican
<5057>_.
Verily
<281>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
Whatsoever
<3745> <1437>
ye shall bind
<1210> (5661)
on
<1909>
earth
<1093>
shall be
<2071> (5704)
bound
<1210> (5772)
in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>_:
and
<2532>
whatsoever
<3745> <1437>
ye shall loose
<3089> (5661)
on
<1909>
earth
<1093>
shall be
<2071> (5704)
loosed
<3089> (5772)
in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>_.
Again
<3825>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
That
<3754>
if
<1437>
two
<1417>
of you
<5216>
shall agree
<4856> (5661)
on
<1909>
earth
<1093>
as touching
<4012>
any
<3956>
thing
<4229>
that
<3739> <1437>
they shall ask
<154> (5672)_,
it shall be done
<1096> (5695)
for them
<846>
of
<3844>
my
<3450>
Father
<3962>
which
<3588>
is in
<1722>
heaven
<3772>_.
For
<1063>
where
<3757>
two
<1417>
or
<2228>
three
<5140>
are
<1526> (5748)
gathered together
<4863> (5772)
in
<1519>
my
<1699>
name
<3686>_,
there
<1563>
am I
<1510> (5748)
in
<1722>
the midst
<3319>
of them
<846>_.
Then
<5119>
came
<4334> (5631)
Peter
<4074>
to him
<846>_,
and said
<2036> (5627)_,
Lord
<2962>_,
how oft
<4212>
shall my
<3450>
brother
<80>
sin
<264> (5692)
against
<1519>
me
<1691>_,
and
<2532>
I forgive
<863> (5692)
him
<846>_?
till
<2193>
seven times
<2034>_?
Jesus
<2424>
saith
<3004> (5719)
unto him
<846>_,
I say
<3004> (5719)
not
<3756>
unto thee
<4671>_,
Until
<2193>
seven times
<2034>_:
but
<235>_,
Until
<2193>
seventy times
<1441>
seven
<2033>_.
Therefore
<1223> <5124>
is the kingdom
<932>
of heaven
<3772>
likened
<3666> (5681)
unto a certain
<444>
king
<935>_,
which
<3739>
would
<2309> (5656)
take
<4868> (5658)
account
<3056>
of
<3326>
his
<846>
servants
<1401>_.
And
<1161>
when he
<846>
had begun
<756> (5671)
to reckon
<4868> (5721)_,
one
<1520>
was brought
<4374> (5681)
unto him
<846>_,
which owed
<3781>
him
<846>
ten thousand
<3463>
talents
<5007>_.
{talents: a talent is seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, at a hundred and eleven cents the ounce}
But forasmuch as
<1161>
he
<846>
had
<2192> (5723)
not
<3361>
to pay
<591> (5629)_,
his
<846>
lord
<2962>
commanded
<2753> (5656)
him
<846>
to be sold
<4097> (5683)_,
and
<2532>
his
<846>
wife
<1135>_,
and
<2532>
children
<5043>_,
and
<2532>
all
<3956>
that
<3745>
he had
<2192> (5707)_,
and
<2532>
payment to be made
<591> (5683)_.
The servant
<1401>
therefore
<3767>
fell down
<4098> (5631)_,
and worshipped
<4352> (5707)
him
<846>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Lord
<2962>_,
have patience
<3114> (5657)
with
<1909>
me
<1698>_,
and
<2532>
I will pay
<591> (5692)
thee
<4671>
all
<3956>_.
{worshipped him: or, besought him}
Then
<1161>
the lord
<2962>
of that
<1565>
servant
<1401>
was moved with compassion
<4697> (5679)_,
and loosed
<630> (5656)
him
<846>_,
and
<2532>
forgave
<863> (5656)
him
<846>
the debt
<1156>_.
But
<1161>
the same
<1565>
servant
<1401>
went out
<1831> (5631)_,
and found
<2147> (5627)
one
<1520>
of his
<846>
fellowservants
<4889>_,
which
<3739>
owed
<3784> (5707)
him
<846>
an hundred
<1540>
pence
<1220>_:
and
<2532>
he laid hands
<2902> (5660)
on him
<846>_,
and took [him] by the throat
<4155> (5707)_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Pay
<591> (5628)
me
<3427>
that
<3748>
thou owest
<3784> (5719)_.
{pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
And
<3767>
his
<846>
fellowservant
<4889>
fell down
<4098> (5631)
at
<1519>
his
<846>
feet
<4228>_,
and besought
<3870> (5707)
him
<846>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Have patience
<3114> (5657)
with
<1909>
me
<1698>_,
and
<2532>
I will pay
<591> (5692)
thee
<4671>
all
<3956>_.
And
<1161>
he would
<2309> (5707)
not
<3756>_:
but
<235>
went
<565> (5631)
and cast
<906> (5627)
him
<846>
into
<1519>
prison
<5438>_,
till
<2193> <3757>
he should pay
<591> (5632)
the debt
<3784> (5746)_.
So
<1161>
when his
<846>
fellowservants
<4889>
saw
<1492> (5631)
what was done
<1096> (5637)_,
they were very
<4970>
sorry
<3076> (5681)_,
and
<2532>
came
<2064> (5631)
and told
<1285> (5656)
unto their
<846>
lord
<2962>
all
<3956>
that was done
<1096> (5637)_.
Then
<5119>
his
<846>
lord
<2962>_,
after that he had called
<4341> (5666)
him
<846>_,
said
<3004> (5719)
unto him
<846>_,
O thou wicked
<4190>
servant
<1401>_,
I forgave
<863> (5656)
thee
<4671>
all
<3956>
that
<1565>
debt
<3782>_,
because
<1893>
thou desiredst
<3870> (5656)
me
<3165>_:
Shouldest
<1163> (5713)
not
<3756>
thou
<4571>
also
<2532>
have had compassion
<1653> (5658)
on thy
<4675>
fellowservant
<4889>_,
even
<2532>
as
<5613>
I
<1473>
had pity
<1653> (5656)
on thee
<4571>_?
And
<2532>
his
<846>
lord
<2962>
was wroth
<3710> (5685)_,
and delivered
<3860> (5656)
him
<846>
to the tormentors
<930>_,
till
<2193> <3757>
he should pay
<591> (5632)
all
<3956>
that was due
<3784> (5746)
unto him
<846>_.
So
<3779>
likewise shall my
<3450>
heavenly
<2032>
Father
<3962>
do
<4160> (5692)
also
<2532>
unto you
<5213>_,
if
<3362> (0)
ye from
<575>
your
<5216>
hearts
<2588>
forgive
<863> (5632)
not
<3362>
every one
<1538>
his
<846>
brother
<80>
their
<846>
trespasses
<3900>_.
