1At <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>_?
2And <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>_,
3And <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>_.
4Whosoever <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>_.
5And <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>_.
6But <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>_.
7Woe <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)_!
8Wherefore <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>_.
9And <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>_.
10Take 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>_.
11For <1063> the Son <5207> of man <444> is come <2064> (5627) to save <4982> (5658) that which <3588> was lost <622> (5756)_.
12How <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)_?
13And <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)_.
14Even 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)_.
15Moreover <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>_.
16But <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)_.
17And <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>_.
18Verily <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>_.
19Again <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>_.
20For <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>_.
21Then <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>_?
22Jesus <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>_.
23Therefore <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>_.
24And <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}
25But 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)_.
26The 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}
27Then <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>_.
28But <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}
29And <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>_.
30And <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)_.
31So <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)_.
32Then <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>_:
33Shouldest <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>_?
34And <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>_.
35So <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>_.
