Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set
him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall
not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in
my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones
which believe in me, it were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he
were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it
must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man
by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut
them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for
thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than
having two hands or two feet to be cast into
everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter
into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes
to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little
ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels
do always behold the face of my Father which is in
heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was
lost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and
one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and
seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto
you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the
ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is
in heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him
alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy
brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee
one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto
the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let
him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye
shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall
agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is
in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until
seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his
servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought
unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord
commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children,
and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will
pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of
his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence:
and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat,
saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and
besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I
will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into
prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they
were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord
all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said
unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all
that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto
him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto
you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses.
